What this means to me is aquiring the aid of someone in the profession of beauty and judging by their expertise have them modify one’s outward physical appearance. That’s kind of a long winded explanation. But actually I think it can also be open to interpretation.
What I did was save up to get my waist long hair cut and locks donated, while highlights were added to my dark brown hair- my present pic ID is a little outdated. To me it was all about the hair. However, I would really like to have hair styled and cut, a facial, manicure pedicure, the whole works.
Dream on, right? Well I’m positive it can be done if one knows where to shop and does a little research. Some department stores offer free consultations, too. You can learn everything from how to apply make-up, what colors are complimentary to different skin tones, to what’s most recommended for certain senstive, oily, dry or combination skin.
I tried “experimenting” with all sorts of makeup products and hair dyes in my middle school days but wish I’d gone in for a consultation earlier to learn some useful tips, it saves time and money! Sometimes the mistakes, as I learned with those experiments, lead to more costs down the road. Hate to admit it but I tried all sorts of “don’ts” like plain old laundry bleach to cool aid and lemons and those bottled hair dye brews > so, saving an extra buck, definitely is not worth the damage unless hair that looks like straw is in style!
But I must stress the psychology behind this . . . I highly recommend getting a makeover because I think it may improve the likelihood of one’s feeling confident about their appearance. The only reason why I’m so choosey with words is because confidence comes from within, one has to generate their own self-esteem by thinking positively about themselves. So relying on ego boosters; the compliments one receives from their makeover may leave a temporary impact but it’s still superficial to a certain extent. . .that affect is certain to wear off just in time for the next redo.
But one last resource could be from the Style-Network or any of those fashion/beauty synicated network television shows. I do not discourage self improvement done independently. There are tons of magazines, books, tv. shows, and websites that offer sound advice. It is just any of the major changes such as hair cuts/colorings would be best invested in by going to a professional. More power to one if they are so lucky to have a friend who’s a cosmetologist!
But a side note too! (I better add that professional makeovers do not have to be limited to women, people of a certain age or any other limits! There is no, or should be no such social stigma for any who want to improve their looks.)
