Primer, foundation, concealer, blush, mascara, eyeliner, eyeshadow, lipstick….it’s all the same. My makeup looks the same 95% of the time, and every time I add one extra product, everyone thinks I look so different. If you don’t wear all of those products listed, mix it up! Otherwise, change the style and colors. Take away your famous eyeliner wing and shock the world. Wear a bolder blush color or tone-tone your eyeshadow. What’s important is that you wear makeup for yourself, not to impress anyone else. Here are five makeup looks every girl should try.

Doing so can be overbearing and take away from the rest of the outfit Yet if everything matches or one piece of jewelry purposely stands out, it can be visually appealing. Another tip is the make the jewelry compliment the outfit. Putting on that same charm bracelet or silver studs is redundant. Instead, make your necklace longer, get a piercing, or buy gigantic earrings.

For those that don’t like tattoos, henna is a temporary alternative. Here are five tattoo ideas that might inspire you to create your own unique design.
