myTakes: Fashion & Beauty

Rule No.1 Dewey is on the more natural side, while matte is more on the artificial side. Rule No.2 You can use everything in an understated way, but if you use one thing wrong the whole thing looks bad. Rule No.3 Doing...

Sometimes you see a picture of a perfect face and you wonder what kind of makeup is where... It all looks right, magical, natural (more or less 'makeup natural') but you can't quite figure it out. The picture above is a...

Shine in the inner corner of the eye makes it appear wider. Glitter liner makes the iris pop and sparkle! Sparkly eye shadow all over the lid and underneath helps your eyes appear overall bigger. Be careful with chunky...

When I'm working at the hospital, I like to pull my hair back for a couple reasons. One, just in case my patients get violent. They would easily have an advantage over me if they're able to grab hold of my hair since it's...

Each culture puts its unique stamp on the fashion world. Many people tend to regard fashion as "just a bunch of clothes," but if you really take some time to research the history of fashion around the world, each culture...

Beauty can be defined in many ways. For some it is attitude, spirit, and other attributes that have nothing to do with physical appearance, like happiness. Everyone has beauty, but some just don't see it. Only 2% of women...

Suits aren't just made for men... Pleated pants and a cardigan speak volumes... Pleated skirt and a see-through jumper always do the trick. Pair form fitting bottoms with a wider fitting top. Tights, socks and an...

Joahnne Snow - not at your service! Leather, feathers, a bold statement jacket - what more could you want? A cloak isn't just for a fantasy world. Fur (faux) can truly stand the test of time. Bundle up, modern day...

A bronze jacket for those rainy Spring nights... Bronze necklace for the GOT fans! A bra for the more bold among you. Bronze eye shadow - with or without glitter - it's definitely effective. All bronzed up and good to go!

Make- up is clearly unique. Although many people tend to not like the over use of make-up, the different looks that you can make to suit certain occasions are extraordinary and some even require quite a fair bit of skill....

From a barely visible peach cheek to a reddish tint on the cheeks and lips - Summer is made for bright colors! Keeping that in mind, if you're more into the natural look keep scrollin'! Nude lipstick paired with barely...

The wet look - and you don't even have to fake it - the hotter it is outside the more you can actually just wash your hair and go! Wild curls for the win! Sleeked back bun hairstyle - men or woman you can definitely...

Gold and blue was a pretty big theme the other day at the Met Gala. The feathers, however, are all Blake Lively! Fashion went from simplistic and poignant ... To crazy and over the top! The new Hollywood up and comer...

Using face and body highlighter can be so much fun, in fact, so fun that many people really go overboard not thinking much about it and then when they step into the light outside of their home they're shocked how much...

Before anything: feel free to add your own in the comments! We are all aware of Grace Kelly, James Dean and the like, but for the style icons today we often turn to these celebrities: Jennifer Lopez: her style that we've...

So much of it is in the attitude. Being jolly, smile-y, cynicism-free are some of the ways you can project a nice fashion sense without being grouped with the Hipsters (presuming you don't want to be labeled a Hipster)....

This question gets asked quite a lot by men and women alike. What do you think about men wearing tights? Should men wear tights? Would you judge me if I wore tights? Women wear tights all the time and even if you're a...

Eyebrows serve a purpose. That's why it's always silly seeing so many people plucking theirs to infinity. They serve to keep sweat from getting in your eyes. Simple as that. As for those mocking uni-brows - people who...

When you're marketing a dress that's meant for the Summer months, make sure you put it in that context - next to the sea, maybe with the breeze in the model's hair... Conveying fun and lightheartedness. Denim is usually...
