| 1. Cover the flaws of your body and emphasize the good parts at the same time. If you`ve got something nice to show – work it, baby! |  |
 | 2. Rather “refine your type” instead of changing like chameleon. Find out what works for you and stick to it (that especially goes for make-up). |
| 3. Have a definite hair-colour. Get rid of the dirty blonde or the ashish brown and get a haircolour that suits your type at a professional salon. Make sure your hair is always in it`s best condition (that requires using professional products). |  |
 | 4. Learn how to do a make-up that covers the imperfections of your face (f.e. make your eyes look bigger, your lips fuller etc). |
| 5. Have a professional pluck your eye-brows (regularly). The expert knows the right shape for your face. |  |
 | 6. Always have a perfect manicure and pedicure (that means men too!). |
| 7. Develop your own daily and weekly beauty routine and stick to it! Beauty requires persistence. |  |
 | 8. Shoes make the person! The choice of shoes says a lot about you so make sure they are high quality and always immaculate (sorry ladies, fake red soles are NOT an option!). |
| 9. No plastic, please! Stay away from tanning, hair-extensions, fake nails or plastic surgery. These tacky no-go`s will throw you right into Jersey Shore-hell. |  |
 | 10. Never ever ask a salesperson, your best friend or your parents what they think of your outfit. You won`t be getting an objective opinion. It`s YOUR opinion that counts. If you think you can wear it, you can! |
