The awesome guide to rock everything denim

The fascinating thing about denim is how many different ways you can wear it. No matter what the occasion, incorporating denim in your outfit can be chic yet casual. Throw on a simple black dress, with a black denim jacket, and you’re ready for a night out in town. One specific trend with denim is the modern day vintage look of jeans and a flare sleeve top. This outfit is the perfect fun yet casual look in time for Spring and Summer. In addition, denim jeans are great to be worn with a crop top sweater. With a little skin showing, this outfit is casual and flirty.

Another great vintage look that many are raving about is an oversized denim jacket and distressed boyfriend jeans. With the boyfriend jeans being loose fit, this an outfit that feels comfortable yet fashionable. Depending on the top, distressed jeans can be worn for any type of event. For instance, going to coffee dates during the winter time, the ideal outfit to wear is an oversized turtleneck top with distressed jeans to give it an edgier look. On the other hand, an open back top and high rise distressed jeans can be a perfect outfit for a nighttime event.

Today’s fashion is bringing back the 90’s with the denim skirts. Denim skirts are a great way to keep it chic and casual with tops, button ups, and nice blouses. Dress the denim skirt with an off-the-shoulder top with a pair of open sandal heels, accessorized with a choker and you’ve got yourself an outfit that will turn heads. The idea is to be creative when deciding on an outfit to wear but you can never go wrong with attire that includes denim.

The Perfect Contour

The perfect contour is only moments away to transform your face to sculpted, angular perfection. Contouring has been a technique used by makeup artists on celebrities for decades but only recently has become a trick any woman can use for any occasion. The following guidelines are meant for every woman to use to create the best contour yet.

The Golden Rule of Contouring

One of the first and foremost rules to contouring is that concealer can be used anywhere on the face for added effect. Use it underneath the eyes, between brows, over eyelids, around the nose and anywhere else necessary to get the desired look.

Face Mapping

Once you trace the temples, highlight your cheekbones, and place your pigment, concentrate on the nose to narrow and shorten as desired.

Highlight

Look wide awake with highlighting that gives you a fresh and youthful glow. Dan cream eyeliner around the corners of the eye, the cupid’s bow, chin, and bridge of the nose. Blend all areas with your finger and then apply foundation.

The Art of the Blend

Use a beautyblender to merge with your base foundation, taking small circular motions with the end of the beautyblender as it has more space to flatten and shape all areas.

Lit

Using the lighter foundation under the eyes, you can also add a bit to the center and to the chin, blending away excess with a moist beautyblender. An illuminating powder directly above the cheekbones creates a lighter look, which can also be applied to the eyelids and any other dark shadows you wish to conceal.

Dust

Using a fluffy brush with loose powder, dust the entire face and then secure with a cream foundation to maintain the look as long as possible.
