Julia Roberts' Simple Makeover Tips

Effective makeover tips don’t always require the involvement of a high end celebrity makeup artist.

And a professional makeover doesn’t always mean a lot of new products or complicated makeover tips from a celebrity beauty expert. Those things can be fun, and they certainly have their place, but they aren’t the only way.

Sometimes just remembering to practice some of the fundamentals of natural beauty can take us a long way toward a new look. And sometimes our own personal beauty really just comes down to how we carry ourselves more than the label that is on our handbag or dress.

Oddly enough, some of the most powerful changes we can make, are changes that don’t cost us anything at all. And as simple and powerful as these changes can be, not making them can often undermine some of the most complicated and expert driven modifications.

The fact is that basic communications of self esteem and self worth are far more powerful and effective than any makeup line could ever be. In fact, a new expensive outfit and makeup line can easily be over shadowed if some of these most basic of beauty checkpoints aren’t met.

And the fact is that whether we notice it or not, even the most glamorous of celebrities are following these five simple tips on a daily basis to keep their looks stunning. They do it so well and consistently that we just take it for granted.

Do you think Julia Roberts could get away with having less than perfect posture? Or that Sharon Stone could risk walking out into the public with the wrong hair color? No way! No brand of mascara could undo the beauty damage incurred by those blunders. Gucci doesn’t fix a poor fit or negative self image.

Here is a very interesting and helpful article from Eileen Hammel that gives us great reminders about the bases we want to cover before we go grabbing for a new expensive outfit or makeup palette. These can be the most effective makeover tips we find.

If you want to improve and enhance your appearance but don’t want to wait till you lose weight, go through and recover from plastic surgery, or have enough money to buy a complete new wardrobe, then try these five simple quick techniques that are used by the top professionals in the beauty and image industries to perform amazing makeovers.

1. Change your hair color: One of the most effective ways to change and improve your personal appearance is to change your hair color. You don’t even have to drastically change the color.

2. Shape and groom your eyebrows: Celebrity makeup artist Kevyn Aucoin used to say, “perfectly groomed brows can change the face” and he was right. Properly shaped and groomed eyebrows can visually change your face shape and instantly give you a non surgical eye lift.
3. Only wear clothes that fit properly: When your wear clothes that properly fit your body you will instantly appear pounds thinner. You should avoid clothes that cling, are so tight that they create bulges and bumps or clothes that are so large they hang off your body and balloon out. Select clothes that are slightly tailored and gently skim your body.
4. Wear colors that flatter you: Wearing colors that flatter you especially near your face such as blouses, jackets and accessories will immediately make your complexion appear brighter and healthier, add a sparkle to your eyes and put a smile on your face.
5. Use good posture: Utilizing good posture will instantly make you look thinner, taller, and younger. And it allows you to project a better physique without having to actually change your body. To see the power of good posture for yourself stand sideways in front of a full length mirror as you usually do. Then stand with your head up, neck straight, shoulders straight, tummy in, spine straight and WOW what a difference!

No matter what level of beauty aficionado you are, we are sure there was at least one reminder in that list of makeover tips that gave you an “Aha!” moment. We know that there was for us.
