How to Look Gorgeous Every Day

Everyone wants to look gorgeous I know.We have all gone through countless wikihows that dont even work! Well look no further after you've completed all the steps all you'll need to worry about is if your looking TOO pretty.

Steps

  1. Get the hair.(this is if you want straight hair) First off give it the color.Try getting it a light brown color.Then get the style.Get extensions so that you're hair goes to the top of your rib cage if you have short hair. You will want it to be almost completely straight you can do this by
  2. Investing in a quality flat iron. For very long hair you can opt for the wider paddle flat iron but the thinner flat irons will give you more flexibility and it works on long and short hair styles. Ask your hair stylist what brand they recommend. Avoid those sold in drug stores if you will be flat ironing regularly. The ones available through your hair stylist or a beauty supply store will last longer and will be less damaging as they have better heating surfaces and more temperature control options.
  3. Invest in a protective spray for your hair. These are sold almost everywhere and they smooth and soften while you flat iron while protecting your hair from thermal damage. This isn't mandatory but it will help.
  4. Wash your hair and condition it as you normally would. Flat ironing hair can dry hair so use a deep conditioner or leave your regular condition on for a few more minutes than usual.
  5. Using a microfiber towel or your regular towel try to get as much moisture out of your hair as possible.
  6. Spray on an instant spray leave-in conditioner.
  7. Use a wide tooth comb to part and comb your hair. If you normally don't have a part do the best you can.
  8. Dry your hair using a hair dryer and use a paddle or vent brush to get your hair as straight as you can while blow drying it.
  9. Brush dry hair to eliminate as many knots as possible.
  10. Put the top half of your hair up into a bun.
  11. Divide the bottom half of your hair into small, thin sections. For best results use sections that are 1-2 inches wide and only about 1/2 inch thick.
  12. Spray the hair protective spray over the section of hair and run a comb through it to remove all knots. Hair without tangles will straighten better. The heat protective spray and the leave-in conditioner will usually help with tangles also.
  13. Hold a a section of hair with one hand and use the other to clamp the flat iron as close to your roots as possible. Hold the hair firmly in the flat iron.
  14. Pull the flat iron over the small section of hair in one fluid movement. If it isn't completely straight, that's OK, pull it through again.
  15. Don't move jerkily while pulling the flat iron through your hair. It will leave horizontal lines indented in your hair and you will need to go over the hair several more times to remove them.
  16. Don't be alarmed if you see steam rising from the iron or a sizzling noise. The plates are very hot and there may be some moisture left from the wash in addition to the sprays. This is normal.
  17. continue to move around your head straightening small sections all the way around as you go. Then take down the rest of your hair, tie the bottom half, and straighten that portion.
  18. Examine your work in a mirror to make sure you didnt miss any sections.Dont forget to check the back.After,put on an antifrizz spray.
  19. Next look at your face.Start by
  20. Stepping into a sauna for about 10-15 minutes. Make sure you are dry when you get into it and drink a full glass of ice water to stay hydrated and immediately wash your face with a non chemical facial cleanser.
  21. Moisturise if you have tightness in your skin. Use a non chemical moisturiser.
  22. -30 minutes later you will notice that you will be really good-looking, without any makeup! The perfect celebrity-kept secret for looking hot on the red carpet!
  23. If you still want to put on makeup try and keep it light.Try and use simple things such as:
  24. Foundation that matches your skin tone is a must! Try-Makeup Forever Duo Mat Powder Foundation
  25. A peachy pink blush on the apples of your cheeks will be needed to get that sexy glow. Try-Covergirl Cheekers blush..
  26. Wear concealer to cover up any blemishes. Try-benefit boi-ing concealer $18 at sephora
  27. A tiny amount of pink, lavender, or white eyeshadow is always cute. Try-TIE: MAC Eye Shadow in Shroom and Naked Lunch, $14 each. Nordstrom
  28. A little brown/black eyeliner on your lower lash lines is a must! Never leave home without it. Try-MAC Eye Kohl in Teddy, $14. Bloomingdale's
  29. Black mascara is possibly the most mandatory of all. Try- Dior DiorShow Mascara, $24. Sephora.
  30. Lip gloss, of course! Plumping is best. Try-L'oreal color juice sheer lip gloss $4 Long's
  31. Get a signature smell.
  32. Get a romantic one like Vera Wang Princess.
  33. And a fresh one for school work such as Daisy from Marc Jacobs.
  34. 5.Clothes.Get 6 or 7 pairs of really cute, comfy jeans that you really like.Get 3 Juicy Couture jumpsuits because they are comfortable for lounging around in the house in,excersising in and walking around outside in.Get cotton tank tops and,or shirts in every color.These are perfect for layering and are really cute.Next,get a cute suit for those special occasions/interviews.You will also want at least 5 jackets/coats/sweatshirts.I reccomend puffy jackets because they are also waterproof.Pea coats are very cute too.Abercrombie and Hollister make very cute zip up sweatshirts.Remember a cute swimcuit is also a must in hot weather.Next on our list are shorts/skirts.If you have good leds by 6 or 7 pairs of jean shorts and or jean skirts.Colorful skirts are also very cute.Buy at least 6 or 7 shirts you really like.Here is a list of cute SHIRTS you might want to check out and buy:

  136. 6.Bags. Bags are very important because they hold the keys to your life,your makeup,some accessories.etc. etc. etc.There a few different kinds of bags to choose from,you may like all bags which is great to.If youre not so sure the basic types of bags are clutches,evening bags,hobos,satchels,shoulder bags,and totes.Clutches are great for when your hands are free and you have very little to carry,they are basically a more glam wallet.Evening bags are slightly bigger and perfect for a night on the town because they can hold a small amount of makeup,your cellphone and some money.Hobos are much bigger they can fit anything you need to fit in it and still be pretty glamorous these are my personal favorite.A satchel can hold a little less than a hobo and has a very small handle to carry it with.Shoulders are exactly like a satchel except with a longer handle.Totes can fit as much as a hobo but are less daring in look.You will also need a makeup bag to hold ,well your makeup.Ebags.com is a great place when you're looking to buy bags.If you dont have time though heres a short list of cute bags ALL FROM EBAGS.COM

  210. 10.Get the body.First start by getting healthy lips you can go this by
  211. Fold a tissue in half and run it under water.
  212. Squeeze it so that it is not soaking, but moist and a tad wet
  213. Run it over your lips. This will moisten your lips
  214. Apply Vaseline or petroleum jelly. This will moisten and soften your lips.
  215. Press your lips together for 15-30 seconds. This will not thin them out
  216. Apply a thin coat of lipstick (it's usually best to stick with neutral tones, but if bright reds and such work on you, go for it!)
  217. Blot out by kissing off the excess lipstick on the back of your hand. DO NOT use a tissue for this, as little bits could stick to your lips.
  218. Apply a thicker coat of lip gloss. This will give it shine.
  219. Pucker up
  220. Practice your smile. If you are going out for a date, great for you!
  221. Get some moisturizer (the thicker the better) and after you've brushed your teeth at night, put the moisturizer on your lips, rubbing it on your lips and a little bit around your mouth until you cant see it. Then, get some more and dab a think layer onto your lips so your lips look white (the color of the moisturizer). Leave it on overnight, and during the night it will soak into your lips and dry, leaving them smooth, soft and perfect.Get a french mani/pedi to make your hands and feet feel and look great! START WORKING OUT!Here are some quick exercises that will make you look great.Try doing 20 pushups before you get in the shower,20 situbs,some basic yoga(sun salutation),and some jumping jacks

 

Tips

  • Try going to outlet stores if you cant afford lots of things
  • Be confident.If you dont believe your the hottest thing in fashion noone else will either
  • If you dont want your hair the way I described it at the top other wikihows have very useful hair sights
  • Shop at places like steve madden,tj maxx,macys,and nordstroms.I shop their and its great they are almost having sales for one thing or another.They also usually have great deals on most things.
  • Still be yourself.Dont change just to impress someone

 

Warnings

  • This is alot of money to spend so make sure to not go over your budget.

Hmm... this list isn't really about looking "gorgeous", it's about looking "trendy" or what the person writing this list thinks is "fashionable". The ability to look "gorgeous" comes mainly from confidence -- personal grooming and cute clothing always help, but if you don't think you're gorgeous, you won't be! Not just that, but don't buy juicy couture jumpsuits and DON'T wear them around. Put on CLOTHES when you go outside, not loungewear. Being gorgeous isn't about buying the latest trends and going into saunas, it's about treating yourself well, excercising, and wearing the kind of things you want to wear.
