Giving Yourself A Makeover On A Budget

If you have recently lost weight, recently became single, recently got involved in a relationship, recently got your dream hob or had something else happen that has led to you feeling as if you have earned a makeover for yourself, then you should go ahead and treat yourself to that makeover. Here are some of the things you can do to give yourself a makeover if you aren't able to go with pampering at salons and/or spas:

Get yourself a new hairdo

You can get your hair cut at a local hair salon for an inexpensive price as long as you look around. You can even use free online software and a picture of yourself to see what you would look like in specific cuts. Once you find a cut that you really like, print the picture out and take it with you so the person cutting your hair knows exactly what you want to achieve.

Color your hair

Once you have your hair cut, you can color your hair yourself. If you go darker, then you don't have as much to worry about. However, if you are trying to go lighter, then you may end up with orange or red highlights you don't like. Therefore, you want to make sure you do a test strip first, so you know you will like the final result. The reason for coloring your hair after your haircut is so you won't need as much coloring and the process will be easier the less hair you have to color. If you aren't sure you want to color all of your hair, you can get highlights with a highlighter cap and just do some strands to add a nice textured appearance.

Get your makeup professionally done

You can get your makeup done professionally by going to a mall and having one of the girls at the makeup counter do it for you. If you aren't very good with makeup, then you may want to video them while they are doing yours, so you can watch the video the next time you go to do your own makeup. Make a list of the brands and shades of makeup they used on you to achieve your new look, so you can work on purchasing this makeup for yourself in the future.

Get yourself a self-waxing kit

Look for waxing kits for sale and wax all of your problem areas, so you can enjoy nice, smooth great looking and feeling skin for longer. Also, waxing will pull the hair from the roots and this helps to leave your skin feeling and looking much softer and smoother than if you were to only shave it. The kit will come with everything that you need, including instructions for you to follow.

About Me

I'm Emily, Queen of Hair

When I was little, it didn't take long for me to learn how to do my own hair. I was doing my own pigtails by the time I was 3. I spent a lot of time in front of the mirror every day, and it was all just for my hair! I had the largest collection of hair bows, clips, and flowers. If YouTube existed back then, I would have spent my teenage years watching--and making!--hair tutorials. It was always my dream to go to hair school, but I ended up getting married and having a baby instead. Luckily, I have now found a way to share my love of the world of hair! Keep coming back for posts on all things hair, as well as some other beauty topics too.
