The March Issue // Beauty // Frumpy to Fierce
Go from Frumpy to Fierce
It's the end of the year we know, but come on, don't start slacking now! Here are six quick ways to get your beauty groove back.
1. Change your lip color. How many shades of pink and nude lipcolors can you really wear? If you want to spice things up then you’ve got to go deep. We’re talking the hottest shades this season--plums and reds. If the idea of a dark lipstick intimidates you then try a sheer formula or a colored tint.
2. Do something with that hair. Every girl knows this is just about the single best way to instantly reinvent yourself. How many years can you really rock one style? Go grab some magazines and pull your favorite looks. Think, in your perfect world is your hair a new color? Cut? Is it something funky like Rihanna’s or something simple and cute? On the day of your appointment show up with a few pictures to inspire your stylist. Tell her/him to make it YOUR version of your chosen look. Then take a breath. It's only hair, have fun!
3. Opt for long, lush lashes. Want to glam up your look with little to no effort? There are two ways to go about this: If you have some extra cash to spend, then have your lashes professionally done (which lasts from two to four weeks). But if you are on a budget, just invest in a mascara that delivers amazing length and volume--and then apply as many coats as your heart desires. Bat those eyes!
4. Accessorize your hair. When in doubt, throw on a hair accessory. A chic and oh so cute a headband a comb or a simple flower pin can be used to spice up a boring look or to mask a bad hair day.
5. Get your glow on. Now that summer is gone, most of us have lost that sun-kissed glow. To help you bring back that healthy glow and to look like you’ve been on the beach instead of the bus, blend in a nice bronzer with your favorite foundation. It will boost radiance and color.
6. Arch those brows. You’ll be amazed at what perfectly arched brows can do for your look. Between working or going to school and everything else you've got going on, it’s an easy part of the beauty routine to overlook. But once you start shaping and arching there’ll be no turning back. It's like an instant makeover.

People think I'm crazy if they look in my purse, with all the different shades. Putting on a different shade, from sweet pink to glossy clear and glitzy light purple is a great and simple look update. Great tip!!

=) Hello, Ms. Tyra! I was wondering.....what is the most effective and long-lasting method of facial hair removal? I'm thirteen years old, and my classmates are noticing. =/
I always seem to find myself going through pages of magazines and finding styles i want to try... but i never can seem to pull it off or actually do it correctly especially anything to do with hair and make up ...eek
This is a simple makeover that i should have been doing for years but duh! i cut my hair but it is growing well now..next time someone remind me not to cut my hair cause i am so anxious to make my hair like this..hello i ... moreThis is a simple makeover that i should have been doing for years but duh! i cut my hair but it is growing well now..next time someone remind me not to cut my hair cause i am so anxious to make my hair like this..hello i got cousins!

I agree also that arching the brow is very important, it brings out my beautifull almond shape eyes.

Plus, I reshaped my brows and I buy false eye lashes to boost my look up for when my fiance and I want a night out on the town.

I love the advice about hair, I only realised this recently! And I love my false lashes when I've got a big event to go to!
I really agree with the hair in particular. I have long hair but I just don't know how to work with it. You should have like a list for best hair styles with certain head shapes and sizes.

I have really long eyelashes and i don't need mascara for the length so I use it to darken them up and to make them look fuller!
Tyra, i am a 73 yr old, and I love to have a glam look, however, every mascara I have tried causes my eyes to become red and sometimes it causes an infection,what do you suggest I can do to have those long lashes?Bessie
true true.the brows i fink are really important...going to school for me.funny,i only brush mine.never shapend or archd before,,and lashes..never leave the house without a mascara....
Tyra, you should start using me as the model in some of your photo examples for your fashion tips. Brilliant idea, I know :).

I notice that when i just get them done I am more likely to NOT wear makeup for a few days because I feel naturally prettier. Once they start growing back is when I start to put foundation around the eyes. I also love hair accessories. My simple flower headband makes casual jeans and flats a little more chic. I am the queen of cheap so I love the ones that they have at Forever 21 because for $4 you can have a great hair clip.
