    Crafty Girl - Jennifer Traig

    suit yourself:

    your features

    Let us begin by saying that there’s no such thing as a feature flaw. So stop hating your wide eyes, your prominent nose, your expansive forehead, your full lips, or your freckles. What makes you different is what makes you beautiful, and nothing is more beautiful than self-confidence. Here’s a brief guide to making the most of your fabulous features. You’ll find more detailed instructions in the sections that follow.

    Forehead

    Some people think theirs is too big. Others think it’s too small. You could conceal it with bangs, but we say pshaw. Small foreheads are cute and dainty as is. Big, wide ones make you look smart. Accessorize with some stylish glasses and you’ll have brainy beauty.

    Eyes

    Play up your eyes by enhancing their natural shape. If you’re lucky enough to have large eyes, frame them with a touch of dark eyeliner. If they’re small, bring them out by lining them in a light color. If they’re close-set, use shadow to emphasize the outer third of the eye. Beautiful wide-set eyes look nice when shadow emphasizes the inner third.

    Nose

    Everyone hates her own nose. It’s either too long, too short, too pointy, too snub, too wide, or too bumpy. And it’s too bad, after all your nose does for you. It allows you to smell flowers and fresh cookies, and it gives you something to rest your shades on. Love your nose! If you can’t, you have two options: Draw attention elsewhere, with dramatic lip or eye makeup, or contour it with a mix of foundation colors. But be warned: Contouring is really useful only for photo shoots. In daylight, your nose will just look dirty. If you’ve got a nose with character, consider yourself lucky. Strong features make you a rare and exotic beauty. We’d much rather be a bird-of-paradise than a boring old
