Beauty 101: Simple Statement

Sarah Hyland

Happy New Year everyone! 2013 should be a year to take risks and make statements with your beauty. 2013 is coming in with so many beauty trends that aren't the typical "pretty" look, but more edgy and bold statements. Whether it's dark lips or luscious lashes, one simple statement can change your entire look. Keep on reading for tips on how to make a new beauty statement for 2013.

• Lips! Lipstick is the perfect and most simple way to amp up your beauty look. Dark lips are great for the fall and winter, while you can keep it classic with a red lipstick or pretty with a pink or purple.
• Cheeks! Try matching your lip color to your cheeks or pull out the bronzer and master the art of contouring to give your face more definition.
• Eyebrows! Changing up your eyebrow shape can give you a whole new look. If your eyebrows ever look sparse just add in some eyeshadow to fill in with color or just to add a bolder touch.
• Eyes! There is so much you can do with the eyes whether it is a hot cat eye, big coated lashes, or a sweep of color with eyeshadow. Liquid liner, false lashes, and an eyeshadow pallete are so much fun to play your eyes up with.

What simple statement are you making with your beauty this year?

Confidence 101: Be Daring



Heidi Klum and Seal

Okay so you you may already know who this is or read the caption, but this is Heidi Klum and Seal... as crows. Halloween, fall festivals, and the entire month of October is about dressing up and completely embracing the theme of fall and dress up. Instead of playing it safe or going the sexy route, be daring and take it all the way with a totally unique idea! Now, you don't need to dress up as a crow, but try going outside your box and stepping out of your comfort zone. If you don't celebrate Halloween, try something new with your everyday fashion since everyone is dressing up anyways! Be daring this October and boost up your confidence.

Trend Alert: Stripes in Action

Stripes are always in and represent so many styles. Stripes an be worn in tops, pants, shoes, acessories, and more! The versatility of the pattern gives you so much range on how to reinvent and style new looks!

Jessie J

Jessie J looks slim and bold with this huge stripe patterned skinny jeans. This look can go great with a punch of bright color and super cute shoes. Striped pants can be found at just about any store which mean anyone can recreate or create a new look. Don't forget about other striped bottoms like skirts and shorts!

Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift keeps up with the classic, original verison of medium sized stripes. Although she is staying classic, she does make a statement with the bright red against the white 

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus gives stripes a cool modern look just by the type of clothing shes wearing her stripes with. The crop and the thiness of the stripes may not seem like much, but they actually make a difference among the world of bold, big stripes.



Fashion 101: Bold and Fab



Kat Graham

I am always looking at pictures of Kat Graham because she is super daring with all her looks and doesn't care if everybody is not a fan of her style. Kat's outfit and beauty look for the 2012 MTV Movie Awards was extremely beautiful to me and showcased her best features. It is totally bold and fab! Kat slicked back her hair and used minimal make-up which let her outfit and accessories take center stage. Sometimes it is okay to let your outfit be the big bang of a look because it still makes heads turn. Since the dress has a slit it shows off her fab legs and the earrings make you look straight at her face. Recreate the same concept in your very own look by toning down your beauty and hair look and putting on a bold outfit that shows off!
