Beauty Guide

Some women are classic beauties – or look like they are. Audrey Hepburn and Jacqueline Onassis had a way of keeping everyone’s eyes on them by exuding an attitude of self-confidence. That’s the first sign of a classic beauty.

A classic beauty wears timeless clothes, but is savvy enough to update with smart accessories. Anyone can wear a little black dress. Audrey Hepburn stood out in hers by adding a colorful scarf. A good beauty guide is to keep make-up to a minimum. A little foundation and lip gloss call attention to the face, not the make-up. A classic woman has hair with shine and a basic cut. She is not someone who preens for hours. In addition, her hair color is natural-looking.

A beautiful woman dresses appropriately. A pretty dress for the evening. Well-fitting jeans to the mall on weekends. She wears underwear, but the specifics stay between her and her closet. A lovely woman wouldn’t reveal her undies any more than she would reveal a secret.

Classic women show their intelligence. They are a pleasure and a challenge to be around. Even if their beauty is flawed, it goes unnoticed because they invariably have something interesting to say. A true beauty guide starts in the mind.

Classic beauties strive for a nice body, but it’s never an obsession. The pencil-thin Hollywood look is not for them. And no classic beauty would be caught with breast implants. She has too much pride in herself to adhere to someone else’s standards. She has her own, unique beauty guide. If something needs fixing, she fixes it and forgets about it.

There is one special secret to beauty that works for every woman. Less is more. No one looks good with heaps of make-up hiding the face beneath.

For healthy-looking skin, exfoliate regularly for a natural, healthy glow. Moisturizing that fresh skin twice a day will keep it soft and dewy. Before leaving the house, add a bit of peach or pink blush and blend it well for a natural look.

A dab of neutral color, such as brown, can make eyes sparkle. It is best to stay over from bright blues or greens. No one looks good with those colors on their face. A thin eyeliner can bring out the eyes. A heavy liner makes the wearer look tired.

Very few women can carry off dark lipstick. A pink or coral shade looks natural and adds a more youthful appearance.

A classic beauty remembers the basics. Hair and body are freshly washed. Nails are trimmed and clean. Clothes are laundered. The grunge look is not beautiful.

A lifestyle of healthy food and moderate exercise can do more for a woman’s looks than the most expensive make-up in the world.

Keep in mind that character shines through. A smile lights up a face and makes people want to move closer. It’s an instant people-magnet. Have a positive attitude. Anyone can criticize. A beautiful woman knows how to compliment.

With the right attitude, anyone can be beautiful. It’s how we were born.

Natural Beauty Tips

admin — Sat, 06 Feb 2010 07:49:03 +0000

Natural beauty is easy when you give your body everything it needs to bring out your own unique style of beauty from the inside out. Success is available to everybody once you know the main areas to concentrate on.

Natural beauty comes from nourishing your skin from the inside out, not from the outside in.

You will never achieve true beauty by spending a small fortune on day creams, night creams, nourishing cream and anti wrinkle creams. These expensive creams may have fancy scientific sounding names but they will not properly nourish your skin.

Although some of the more expensive creams do provide a certain amount of the important substances needed for your skin, it is not enough in this form to provide complete skin care so that your own natural beauty can surface.

Rubbing cream all over your body will not deliver all the necessary nutrients required for your skin cells to regenerate. Most of it will just lay there until you wash it off. Just how much of the cream’s active ingredients penetrate your skin cells depends largely on your skin’s overall condition at the time.

You must also take into account the concentration of the ingredients and the manufacturing technology used in preparing the cream. Most vitamins have an extremely short live span and if you do not use them up quickly they will soon become useless.

The only way to ensure accurate delivery of the most important nutrients directly to your skin cells is to eat the necessary vitamins and minerals so they are absorbed straight into your bloodstream.

Each cell in your body needs dozens of nutrients to keep it healthy. Vitamins, minerals and amino acids come from food while the body itself produces others providing it is properly nourished and healthy.

The food you eat directly affects your appearance and the condition of your skin as well as every organ in your body and your skin is the biggest single organ.

However, it would be naive to think that changing your diet will smooth out all your wrinkles and completely reverse skin aging. It is equally naive to think you can eat whatever you like without causing any detrimental effects to your natural beauty.

Nourishing your skin with all the nutrients it needs will have an amazing impact on the mechanisms that control the aging of the body as a whole. With these mechanisms inhibited the aging process will slow down, especially the aging of the skin.

Natural beauty is not something that happens through external means, or even overnight for that matter. It can only happen when your body reaches optimum health with all your organs receiving all the nutrients they need to function properly.

Who Is The Beauty Tyrant

admin — Sat, 02 Jan 2010 15:45:36 +0000

I’m the Beauty Tyrant, of course, a beauty buff in her late 20s.

How it all started?I became a beauty buff ever since I got my index finger nicked by my mom’s eye brow razor when I lovingly stroked it, thinking it was a soft eye brow brush. I was a very little girl then. I had seen her use the eye brow brush a million times and I swear I knew it was a brush instead of a razor. Innocence of a child, no? Back then, Mom had a treasure trove of pretty colors and makeup that I will secretly rummage and experiment, often with hillarious results.

So what’s different here? I’m basically a huge cheerleader for natural beauty except for my addiction for lipstick and lip gloss. Therefore, I’m always on a lookout for new skin care products and new tips and ways to enhance natural beauty and not too much weight on makeup-induced beauty. Don’t get me wrong, I’m no prud. I do use makeup too, but I try best to keep it at a minimum, simply just to cover up some flaws and to enhance better features. Minimalism is beauty, that’s my mantra on beauty.

I chose to start Beauty Tyrant because as a woman, I have my insecurities about my looks and my body. Trust me, my insecurities are too many to list down. It can be very trying at times and frustrating, having the desire to be on par with the perception of beauty but at the same time don’t really have a clue where or how to start on the quest for beauty. I understand that there are also many women out there who may face the same trials and tribulations as myself in a world where beauty takes centre stage. Hey, even the most beautiful woman has her insecurities one way or another. Here, I hope to offer some very honest opinions and tips that I myself practice which I really think are useful and beneficial.

Beauty Tyrant says, “Beauty is YOUR Forte. Look around you, there is beauty everywhere but true beauty comes from within you.”
