9 Fashion Tips For Men

HELLO, GUYS! HERE ARE NINE GREAT FASHION TIPS THAT WOULD HELP ACHIEVE THE SUAVE,CLASSY LOOK THAT WOMEN  LOVE !                                  1. Fit is King – The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large for them. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape of your body without being tight. Bad fit is an epidemic, cure yourself.
2. Keep it simple – You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three colors.Pls don’t dress like a rock star unless you’re in a band. If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes. You could also add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but nothing more. Less is more!
3. Change the way you see casual – casual doesn’t have to be boring and don't restrict yourself to a particular style. Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently.
4. Take note of your supporting pieces - Some sweaters are lean and others are big and chunky. The first rule of thumb is that your top and bottom halves need to match. If you’re wearing a big, chunky, rugged fisherman knit sweater, your bottom needs to be rugged, too. Don’t wear a fisherman’s sweater with a beautiful silk-and-wool suit pant. Instead, wear it with something as casual as cargos or jeans, or dress it up with a Harris tweed blazer.
5. Never, never go shopping alone – Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the sales people because they usually work for commission. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion.You will be surprised what great help they could be Also, read about shopping on a budget.
6. Stay a notch above – Don’t overdo it to a fault, but dare to take some risks and laeve your comfort zone It’s always better to be a little bit overdressed than underdressed in any setting. All you have to do is think about where and who you’re going to be with ,what you would most likely be doing there and just step it up one notch. But make sure you’re not better dressed than someone who is more important in a certain setting, like your employer.
7. Never underestimate the power of details – The last thing on is usually the first thing noticed. So mind the details instead of throwing together the main parts of your outfit. “Details” can include a scarf, a subtle pocket square, or the way you tie your tie knot. Be daring! 
8. Invest in a superb pair of shoes – If it’s one thing that women will notice, it’s your shoes. Especially how clean and sharp they look. It’s easy to wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most guys disregard their shoes. Show that you’re a man of taste by getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in good clean condition.
9. Fashion Tees with logos – When you’re going around with a big logo on your shirt, you risk looking like a walking billboard. Lose the lame Coca-Cola shirt and go for a classic v-neck tee instead they look more mature and sauve!

Natural Makeup.

Natural Makeup
·         Understand that a natural look is one that uses the colours that is right for the skin tone.How  much you use depends on your personal style,  make sure you’re your concealer is yellow in tone since it mutes imperfections without  adding colour.
·         Apply foundation that matches your skin tone,the right foundation would seem to dis appear on your face.If you are African American, it is good to have light medium and dark shades of your foundation to allow for different graddtion of colour on different parts of your face.
·         Apply eye makeup in earthly tones,beige,brown and charcoal gray for liner and mascara.Skip liner or shadow entirely if you want to keep your make up light.
·         Choose blush that is close to colour of your cheeks after you you have excercised.
·         NB.FIRST CLEAN AND MOSTURISE YOUR FACE FIRST.DON’T SKIMP ON MAKE UP  TOOLS .BETTER TOOLS MAKES APPLYING MAKEUP EASIER AND FASTER.

The bride is supposed to be the cynosure of all eyes and this can be enhanced by her wearing her makeup right. Here are a few bridal makeup tips a to be bride would need:
You could choose to employ the services of professional makeup artist or do it yourself. If you choose to employ the services of a makeup artist for your bridal makeup, ensure that you book your appointment early so the makeup artist has a clear understanding of how you want to look on your big day. If instead you choose to do it yourself ,here are a list of the basic makeup you would require: loose powder, foundation (two tones darker), a concealer , a lipstick , a lip liner. an eyeliner,kohl pencil, mascara, blush, eyeshadow palette, an eye primer.
foundation primer and a set of makeup brushes.
Bridal Makeup: Step (1): Cleanse and moisturise the face thoroughly,glide on the foundation primer and blend smoothly over the face,apply your foundation evenly over the face and then use your index finger to pat the concealer under the eyes towards the nose in a downward motion to cover blemishes and shadows,sweep the entire face with a light dusting of powder. Step (2): Line the inside of your eyes with kohl pencil lightly to create a soft look,then apply your eye makeup using the darkest colour you must have chosen at the crease,the lightest colour on or just beneath the eye brow bone and the medium on the entire eyelid.

Line the lips first, apply a lipstick with a similar colour,blend smoothly .Set the look in with some clear lip gloss(optional).
