5 Simple Tweaks For A Stylistic Reinvention

Image source

We’ve all been there, right. We’ve all woken up one morning and decided we’re bored of the way we look. We don’t like our hair style, have a wardrobe that overflows with nothing we like, and just have that icky feeling about the way we look generally. Most of the time this feeling passes, kind of like the flu; a couple of bowls of soup, a binge watch of New Girl and we’re back to our old self. But sometimes it doesn’t go, and we find ourselves desperate for a stylistic reinvention as a means to boost self-confidence. But how do we do this without doing something so drastic we’d be compared to Lady Gaga circa 2010 (#meatdress)? As much as we love our Lady Gaga.

It’s All in The Eyes
One of the things we rarely consider tweaking is our eye color. But for such a small detail, it can change the way you look drastically. What’s more, it only takes a quick and inexpensive trip to the optometrist and, voila, you can become a whole new person. Big, brown and doe-eyed. Emerald green. A blue so crystal it is like looking into a Pacific lagoon. Whatever takes your fancy really.

Okay... And The Eyebrows
You’ll be amazed at how much your look can change when you alter the shape of your eyebrows. As the professionals at www.sculptureclinic.com.au will attest, it used to be all about thin and over-preened eyebrows, but that look is now long gone. It is all about the Cara Delavigne-style bushy brows, the kind that makes you look so much younger. Seriously. A quick transplant could give you that mysterious and powerful look you never realized you always craved. But of course, it's not necessary. You can tweak it all without having to undergo surgical levels. 

Crazy Contouring
While Facebook used to be awesome, it has now become a dumping ground for sixty-second food videos and wannabe make-up artists showing off their abilities to completely transform their looks through clever contouring. As far as we can tell, as long as you have the time to watch the tutorials and learn the skill, you could acquire the

ability to shapeshift, transforming from Angelina Jolie one day to Jennifer Aniston the next. What? Still too soon? Come on. Really. But seriously, don't believe all the videos you see. 

Colors, Colours, Colours
We all have a few go to colors, and they always tend to be neutral because it is safe, flattering and able to transcend the kind of event we’re talking about. But colors can say a lot about who you are, which is why it could be time to completely overhaul your palette, or at least add a few bursts of energy. We do recommend speaking to a professional on this front (not least because you will be totally gobsmacked by what they say) or just visit cladwell.com. But you basically want to choose colors that will complement your hair, skin, eyes and, well, your personality too. 

New Bangs
One of the fastest, boldest and most wonderful ways to overhaul your style is to get yourself a new haircut, and not just a little trim to get rid of your dead ends. We’re talking about a new style, maybe even a bit of dye. What route you go down is completely your call, but a little scroll through Pinterest and consultation with your hairdresser could be all you need to start a new life. Wow, that was a bit melodramatic.
