Body & Shape

If you’re looking to have a more feminine body shape then you might have to work on it. Some CD’s are lucky enough to look androgynous or work hard to keep themselves curvy. The rest of us (myself included) need a little assistance. I use tummy tuckers to help create curves in the hip area and it also hides other… things.

If you’re taking pictures remember your posture. Look at how girls stand when they’re having their photo taken and try to mimic the look.

TIP: Stomach in, shoulders back and hands on hips. It works wonders.

Facial Hair

Have a good shave, and I mean a really good shave. Take your time with it and try not to cut yourself. You want to get to a point where you can stroke your cheeks, neck and chin and the majority of it feels smooth. Shower afterwards to wash away the hair.

Make sure you don’t miss your neck. It can be easy to forget and just as easy to notice. There’s a few things you can do with make-up to help but I’ll explain that later.

Base Make-up

Base make-up covers foundation, concealer, highlighters, lowlighters and powder. I’m also going to include blusher in this section.

Concealer is great for everything, but most importantly it covers up your beard shadow. Cover your neck, chin, cheeks and any other area on your face you’ve had to shave. You can then blend this in with your foundation and voila! No more beard shadow. You might still notice it, but no one else will.

With foundation and concealer you want to be reasonably generous. For highlights or lowlights you will want to use powdered foundation that’s either light or darker than your skin tone (lighter for highlights, darker for lowlights) You’ll want to use highlights in these places:

1. On top of your eyebrows.

2. A small amount on the forehead.

3. On top of your brow bone.

4. On top of your cheek bones.

Remember, you want to highlight before you start using your lowlights. The places you want to lowlight include:

1. Just above your cheek.

2. Along the hair line.

3. The temples by the eyebrows.

4. Along the jaw line.

5. From the corner of your eye down the side of your nose.

The most important I thing can say for make-up is PRACTISE. No one gets it perfect first time but there will always be something that you’re proud of.

Clothes

Dress for your body, not for someone else’s. I would love to wear a tight clubbing dress but I don’t have the shoulders/hips/stomach/butt/anything for it. On the other hand, I pull off skater dresses really well. There’s not too much more I can say than that, you know your body better than anyone else so it’s best for your to decide. I can give you some generic hints though:

1. If you’re skinny you can get away with tight dresses.

2. If you’re like me (broad shoulders and no curves) loose fitting dresses are your friend.

3. Don’t try to lie about your size. You look better in clothes that fit than a dress that’s cutting into you.

4. Hide your shoulders and cleavage. Wearing a dress with short sleeves that comes up to your neck will mean you don’t have to worry about a fake cleavage and can help hide manly broad shoulders
