haven for the awkward

• Brush not thy hair.
• Focus on looking truly natural:

           - nude nails

           - neutral makeup

           - simple hair

           - natural eyebrows

• Rosy anything is sexy and playful: rosy perfume, rose lipbalm, a hint of rosy cheeks.
• Orange and citrus are fresh scents for the summer and spring.
• Go blond or brond.
• Drink a big glass of water with a lemon in it when you wake up.
• Freckles are beautiful.
• Paris is Mecca.
• Your era of inspiration is generally the 70’s.
• Classic pieces with a romantic, feminine touch:

           - pastel pallette

           - laces and silks

• Fundamentals are effortless, bohemianism, and a clean line
• Day cream and night cream are essential for dry faces; sleep without makeup and wear a thick layer of moisturizer.
