Printed Fashion Style Tips

It's not a secret that prints managed to jazz up our wardrobe regardless of the season. Apparently summer is the most essential period to take on a journey into the colorful patterns and learn more about the printed fashion style trend tips. There are so many printed tees, dresses, skirts, pants, bags, shoes and even printed belts. But what’s a girl do with so many choices and so many prints? If you’ve been to any store or mall in the past month or two, you’ve probably noticed a ton of printed items, but which should you pick up and when you do, how do you wear these prints properly?


There are a few thumb rules when you wearing prints that you should really stick to, which are:

START WITH ACCESSORIES
A good place to start experimenting with prints is with bags and shoes. An animal print shoe or bag will make your whole outfit stand out.
  
ONE PRINT AT A TIME
Wear one print at a time. Prints stand out a lot, so it’s best to keep the rest of your look simple. If you decide to go for a printed tee, keep your bottoms to one color, preferably a color that is already in the print.

ANIMAL PRINTS
When wearing animal prints, it’s always best to stick to black for the rest of the outfit. So if you’re wearing an animal print dress, stick to black shoes and a black bag.

KEEP IT CLASSY
This should come as no surprise, but please don’t wear more than one print at once. Don’t combine an animal print top with a tribal print skirt – it will look trashy rather than classy. So just pick one print and leave the rest simple.

FLORAL PRINTS
Floral printed items cannot pass unnoticed. One essential thing to consider should be the size of the flowers.If you are taller and curvier, avoid smaller floral prints, while if you are petite, stay away from bigger prints.

FITTED PRINTS
Opt for fitted prints! Fabrics that are closer to the body, especially in print, look a lot more put together rather than larger, billowy prints which could actually make you larger than you are.

BIG PRINTS AND LITTLE PRINTS
Big prints make you look bigger and if you’ve already got a fuller figure, I advise you to stay away from there! Instead, opt for smaller prints which will be much more forgiving!

Makeup Tips for Women with Hijab

Soft color eye make up for women in hijab
When a woman wearing a headscarf, it means that her face will be the center of attention. Therefore you need to be careful to choose the appropriate style make up with the veil model selection.
In the book ‘Dressage’ and ‘Style Riding Hood’ by Tini Sardadi and Amy Wirabudi, explained a few things that need to be considered by women veiled to do the make ups.

Eyebrow
Cat eye style
For those who are veiled, the eyebrows should be much more visible than those who are not veiled.
A messy eyebrow make the face looks dull and not fresh. Use an eyebrow pencil to draw the shape of eyebrows, avoid the eyebrows tattooed impressed because it’s unnatural. Do not draw the eyebrow too short or too long, it should be ended right at the end of the eye’s corner.
Be careful to choose the form of an eyebrow, not to give the impression of your face sad, surprised, shocked or angry. If you draw the line of your eyebrows too low at the eye corner that will make your face looks sad. If you draw it too straight that will make your face looks angry.  
Eye make up for small eyes

Eye shadow
For those who have small eyes and wanted to make them look bigger, you can put the eyeliner more visible with a darker color. But if you have big eyes and wanted to make them look smaller, you still can put a less eyeliner on your eyes with the cat eye style and avoid dark colors as your eye shadow. The most important thing on eyeliner is that too much eyeliner especially black color and wrong application can make your face looks older.

Color selection
In making the selection of makeup colors, keep your eyes and lips at the same time highlight. Choose one of them, eyes or lips only. If you choose the eyes as the center attention of your face, then select the color ‘nude’ for the lips. If the lips colored ‘hard’ then use ‘light’ to the eyes color. When you wear dark-colored or patterned scarf crowded, it is advisable to choose soft colors of eye makeup.
Meanwhile, if the light-colored scarf or motive was not too crowded you can choose a slightly darker color to display the beauty of the eyes.

How to look beautiful with my dark skin?

A lot of people seem to feel and believe that make up looks good only on fair skin. The truth is... make up may look just as flattering on dark skin. The key is to know what particular make up to use.

Makeup Application Tips

  • The application of makeup depends on the time of the occasion whether for a night time or a day time.
  • Prevent using color shades that will clash your skin tone.
  • For those who have oily skin, it is best to use oil control foundation or oil control moisturizer.
  • The best foundation to use must be water-based. Dark skin has a tendency to look oily, and using cream foundation will only worsen the effect. The water-based foundation must be of a shade closest to your skin tone.
  • To create the illusion of a perfect skin, a good concealer and a sheer foundation are must-haves.
  • Follow up the foundation with a dust of loose powder. Be careful not to over dust, especially around the eye area.
  • Choose eyeshadow colors which is shades of brown and bronze are very flattering on dark skin and so are dark metallic colors. Purple and blue hues may also look great on dark skin. White or very light colors will look great on fair skin, but they will not have the same effect on dark skin.
  • Outline your eyes with dark eye lining pencil. Eyeliners in black or chocolate brown is preferred.
  • Next, thicken your eyelash with at least two coats of dark mascara to draw attention to the eyes.
  • You may also use a highlighter on the bridge of your nose, around your eye or above the cheek bones and upper lip.
  • When choosing the right shade of lipstick, go for more intense colors, like dark reds or corals. Lipsticks in burgundy will also look pleasing on dark skin.
  • For your blush, warm colors in rose or deep orange and coral are highly recommended for dark skin. Peachy and brown shades should be avoided because it will give a darker complexion. If you are going to a night time occasion you may add a bit of drama to your cheeks by dusting your cheeks with a hint of gold color.
