Hair and Nails
When it comes to fashion, there are many things that
need to work together to make the perfect outfit. Along with make up and
clothes, there are hair and nails. We talked to some students here at our
school, and here is what they had to say about fashion topics.
First, we asked some girls about how
they liked their hair. We asked them how they preferred to wear their hair, and
answers included things like down and natural and however I feel. More specific
responses were “like Lorde”, as said by sophomore Jacinda Webb, and “down, with
teased and fringed bangs’, which was mentioned by freshman Bailey Dorn. We then
asked what some favorite braids were. The general response was the fishtail,
but there were also mentions of the five strand and waterfall braids. The final
question was on the debate of straight or curly. The all around response was
straight, because curling takes too much time for them.
Next,
we moved on to the topic of nails. When asked what the ideal or perfect color
to paint their nails, responses were nude, “pinkish”, and black. These
responses moved us on to the next question, which was “Black, goth or sleek?” As
soon as the question was asked, everyone answered at the same time, “Sleek!”
Black nails used to be referred to as goth and tacky, but now they are making a
comeback as sleek and daring. The girls went on to say the color went with
everything, and that it’s simple, yet daring. The final question was if designs
were liked or disliked. Some said they disliked them, and that solid colors are
better. Others said they liked them because it could make their nails look more
interesting and fun.
When talking about fashion, there
are many different opinions out there depending on who you ask. Opinions vary
significantly, and some overlap. Whatever your style is, just make sure
everything works together.
Makeup
Makeup
looks can either make you or break you. Some makeup trends are great and
stylish, others, however, are in need of some desperate attention. We recently
interviewed some students on their opinions on the world of cosmetics, here is
what they had to say.
The
face is also an extremely important part when it comes to makeup. So, it’s
important to get it looking flawless to compliment whatever look you are going
for. Choosing the right foundation for
your skin is crucial to create a flawless complexion. There are many different
types of foundations for different skin tones, like, gel, whipped, powder,
stick, or liquid. The overall favorite
for foundation is powder. While powder foundation is good for staying matte all
day, and for medium to full coverage, it is important to apply it in moderation
to avoid the dreaded cake-face.
Lips
are the finishing touch to any makeup look. However, finding the right color is
difficult. When the students were asked what they thought the perfect lip color
was, they replied with red, nude, pink, and peach. Red lips can turn any look
glamorous, but it is important to find the right undertone for you skin
type. If you have a pale skin tone, go
for a blue-ish red with a cool undertone. If you have a tan skin tone, go with
an orange red with a warm undertone. Just remember, you can play up your eyes
OR your lips, not both. (Unless you want to look like a six year old who got in
to mommy’s makeup drawer.) Nude lips compliment any look. If you are tan, go
for a brown nude, or if you are pale go for a beige true nude. Pink lips are a
timeless favorite and can virtually look great on any skin tone.
Last,
we just asked general questions about makeup brands and trends in general. We
asked students what makeup look they preferred more, fresh and light, or
dramatic. The unanimous answer was fresh and light. However, if you are feeling
a bit daring, a dramatic makeup look will always capture attention. Next, we
asked students their favorite makeup brand. The top responses were M.A.C.,
Urban Decay, Covergirl, and Maybelline. Last, we asked the students what trends
they would like to see for the coming Spring 2014 season. They said they would
like for the natural look to make a comeback, and for colorful eyeshadow to
come into play.
Clothes
Fashion and style can be fun but also very hard and time
consuming. If you need some tips on
winter clothes, or what could make or break your outfit, here are some tips on outfits
and shoes from fellow students. Hope
this helps you.
If you are struggling with
what to wear during the winter here are some cute hints: add a scarf, wear
darker colors, warmer clothes, and layers for those chilly days. Jacinda states that she is “more fashionable
in the winter, because she can get away with more.”
Another way to make your
outfit stand out is to add your favorite shoes.
Accessories also add style. Some
examples are: head bands, necklace, feathers, and so much more. Finally patterns in your outfit really make
it pop. Just remember to always “express
yourself,” says Bailey.
If you are curious about
which style of shoes to wear during a specific season here are some options from
students: fall and winter Alexus, Bailey, and Sydney said riding boots, summer
Jacinda and Taylor say flip flops (rainbow), and year long shoes for Molly said
Vans.
Lastly, if you need some
style tips or advice: make a pinterest account and follow others and the trends
for that season. Sydney says “dress comfortably” as a final thought.
