10 Quick Fashion Tips Every Man Should Know




1.Keep it simple

 You want a wardrobe that looks great on you, but don’t overdo it. Don’t wear more than three pieces of jewelry or more than three colors. Don’t dress like a rock star unless you’re in a band. If you want to be flashy, a simpler but stylish look would be sporting a black striped dress shirt with a white blazer, a dark pair of jeans, a dressy belt, and your sharpest dress shoes.
 You could also add a flashy watch or a simple accessory like an interesting necklace, but nothing more. .

 2.Change the way you see casual

 casual doesn’t have to be boring. Have fun with collared shirts, or take some inspiration from those who approach casual a bit differently.

3. Invest in a superb pair of shoes

 If it’s one thing that women will notice, it’s your shoes. Especially how clean and sharp they look. It’s easy to wash and press the rest of your clothes to keep them looking new, but most guys disregard their shoes. Show that you’re a man of taste by getting a great pair of shoes and keeping them in pristine condition.

 4. Fashion Tees with logos

When you’re going around with a big logo on your shirt, you risk looking like a walking billboard. Lose the lame Coca-Cola shirt and go for a classic v-neck tee or something artsy.

 5. Disregard trends

Beware of buying something just because it’s “in” right now – stick to what you truly like. A lot of people rush to get in on the latest trend and end up with a bunch of clothes they don’t wear. It’s better to learn to build a versatile and timeless wardrobe first – then bring in your own twists with some of the new fashion. This one tip will save you so much money!!

 6. Don’t be a sucker for brand names

Don’t be a Tom Ford Before you decide to purchase an item, ask yourself if you are buying it simply because of the brand name or because you love the quality and style. Ask yourself, “Would I buy this if there was no logo on it?”

7.Upgrade your shave

Even if your fashion is golden, an unkempt beard can be an attraction killer. Achieve a perfect shave by trying a shave brush & old-fashioned double-edged razor.

8.Experiment with style

The only way you’ll really learn, is if you go out there and try new things. I make an effort to try something completely out of my comfort zone whenever I’m at a store – many times you’ll end up loving something you never thought you would. If you make mistakes, life goes on. So many guys are afraid to express themselves through their style, don’t be one of them.

9.Fit is King

The most dramatic improvement you can make in your style is to make sure everything fits impeccably. Most guys wear clothes that are too large. Make sure everything you wear is almost hugging the shape of your body – without being tight. Bad fit is an epidemic. We call it “Bad Fit Disease”…

10. Never go shopping alone

 Most of the time, it’s tough to trust the sales people because they usually work for commission. Shop with a friend who will give you their honest opinion.

Best Eyebrow Shaping Products Every Girl Needs To Have

Best Eyebrow Shaping Products

 To create perfect brows, it’s essential to start with the right tools for the job. Choose only the best shaping products and you’ll find that half the hard work is done for you.

1.Eyebrow Pencil 


Choosing a good, quality eyebrow pencil over a cheap one can mean full, natural looking brows instead of dark, messy blobs above your eyes.

Opt for reputable makeup brands for tested formulas which will yield positive results. Choose a pencil that sits in between powdery and waxy and that features a fine tip. This combination will ensure clean and natural looking brows that stay in place. Find the right colour for your brows by choosing a pencil that is a couple shades lighter than your exact hair match.

2.Tweezing

 your eyebrows may feel like an arduous process, but it provides you with a precision that threading and waxing can’t. So if you want perfectly shaped brows, you better get friendly with your tweezers. By investing in high quality, durable, tweezers, you’ll find that grooming becomes much easier. Choose a pair with clean edges and a slanted tip to make narrowing in on stray hairs simple.

3.Spoolies

 
  While many of today’s best brow pencils come with a spoolie attached, it’s still a good idea to have separate quality spoolies on hand. These small brushes are the key to achieving natural looking brows. While pencil will add the colour and extra volume you desire, it’s the spoolie that will make your brows appear like 100% natural hair. By brushing through the product and creating texture, a spoolie will put the finishing touch on your perfect brows.

4. Wax and Pomade


 For unruly brows, simple tweezering and pencilling may not be enough to create your desired brow shape. Tame and shape wild brows with the help of an eyebrow wax or pomade. The creamy formula makes an excellent base for makeup, leaving you with well groomed, natural-looking brows. Choose between pigmented and clear waxes to best suit your needs. To apply pot-based varieties, use an angled brush to outline and fill-in brows before brushing with a spoolie.

 5. Powder

 If you’re new to filling in your brows, you may find pencils a bit hard to navigate. Pencils can be perfect for drawing in individual hairs, but if you’re inexperienced, you may end up overdoing it. In this case, a powder is your safe alternative. Easy to use, layer and wipe off if necessary, powder provides all over brow coverage that will gently fill any gaps. To avoid unnatural looking brows, look for duo powder kits that you can blend and always brush with a spoolie afterwards.
