The inverted bob:
Bobbing for apples or bobbin’ your hair…It’s all good fun for fall 2007. The inverted bob takes the classic bob to a whole different level. The hair is cut short in back, but kept long in front. It’s not as drastic as a pixie cut, but allows you to have the best of both worlds. The inverted bob is ideal for those with naturally straight hair, who wish to move away from that long-haired school-girl look and toward a more sophisticated appearance. Naturally, a bob is easier to maintain between trimmings than super long hair.
Longer locks:
When choosing to keep your length, there are many things to consider to ensure that your style is flattering. The shape of your face will be one of the biggest factors in how a long style looks on you. A round face will need a hairstyle to slim the features, while a long face is best suited to a hairstyle with bangs to shorten its appearance.
Your hair type also comes into play when choosing how to wear hair long. Is your hair curly or straight? Is it fine or thick? A full and sleek hairstyle will take a fair bit of styling effort if your hair is curly and fine. Ask yourself how much time you are willing to spend on grooming each day. If you are not particularly hair savvy or if you suffer a time crunch in the morning, an elaborate hairstyle might leave you frustrated and facing a lot of bad hair days. Instead, choose a simple style you can work with quickly each morning.
It’s also a great idea to look through magazines or online for style ideas. Once you have a picture you like, clip it out and take it with you on your next salon visit. Having an example of the long hairstyle you want will ensure that you and your stylist are on the same page. When consulting with your stylist, ask her for her expert advice. Ask her what exactly will be required to recreate the look at home. Hair products can make all the difference, as can having the proper tools. If you have curly hair, you will need a diffuser for your hairdryer and the proper hair gels, mousses and sprays. Get guidance on what type of brushes are needed to recreate the look in your own bathroom. Watch your stylist work with your hair. Ask questions and take mental notes.
Makeup and skin care tips
No one has a perfectly even complexion, but with the right makeup you can give the illusion that you have it. Start with a smooth application of matte foundation over your face. Then hide any imperfections with a creamy concealer, and set your foundation with loose powder.To add color to your face, sweep a natural shade of blush across your cheekbones. For more impact, choose a bolder shade, but be sure to apply it lightly and to blend it well.
Your eyes are key players on your face, so do them right. Sophistication can be simple with a sweep of eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara. For a neutral look, pick a shadow shade that’s close to your skin tone. For extra eye emphasis, use multiple shades and get creative. To define eyes, apply deeper shades from the lash line to the crease of your eye. A sweep of a lighter shade from the inner corner of your lid to your browbone adds a nice highlight. Follow with a black or dark brown eyeliner. Then apply two coats of mascara for full, long lashes.
For your mouth, choose a neutral lip color or highlight your lips with a more intense shade. Use matte or a creamy lipstick, applying it with a lip brush for an even thin layer. A final dab of clear gloss in the center of your upper and lower lips creates a beautiful finish.
