How I did it: To look great you must feel positive. If you act like a bitch or have a bad attitude, you're appearance is going to reflect that. To put myself in a positive mood i'll listen to my favorite music while getting ready. You need to pick out an outfit that properly assets your body type. Muffin top boobies and bellies are big No No's! I either try to go with an urban look or a classy look, which doesn't require a lot of makeup. I believe natural beauty is true beauty! 

Lessons & tips: it depends on what you are trying to improve to look great. if it is your luscious curves, try looking at 17.com to find great outfits that flatter your bust and curves. If you’re wanting to improve your facial appearance go to your local or favorite makeup department and ask a professional your skin type. If you have dry or mixed skin, make sure to moisturize every day after using a gentle cleanser (i prefer Aveno foam face wash). this will improve healthy skin tones and reduce redness or acne. if you still have problems with stress pimples, try using a dab of toothpaste on the inflamed area before you go to bed. this will dry out the pimple. for oily skin i would recommend a gentle detox scrub, that can be used at least twice a week. you absolutelyHAVE to use a skin moisturizer with facial scrubs. this should reduce oil and even out your skin tone. If you’re worried about your skin color, don’t be!! being tan is not worth getting skin cancer, and look at nicole kidman& gwen stefani.. they’re smokin hot and couldn’t get a tan if they wanted to. if you are extremely concerned with your skin tones though, go with a nice rub on skin bronzer. skin bronzers are not something to be cheap with.. don’t want to look like an orange! don’t hesitate to ask me any questions.

Resources: I love Aveeno products, especailly their foam face watch and detoxifying scrub. Always before I buy make-up products, i ask a make-up professional about the product i'm interested in to make sure it best fits my skin type (which is mixed), and that it benefits my skin. Also, if i have a nasty pimple toothpaste is the best solution. Just put a dab on your pimple/pimples before you go to bed, and by morning it will be all dried up. Don't use this solution to get rid of only oil though!
