Developing Your Look

If you want to feel as beautiful as you can on a daily basis, here are a few practical tips that should help you to do this.

Incorporate some notes from your signature scent into the toiletries you use every day

If you have a signature scent that you wear in order to smell both distinctive and lovely, you should take a look at the notes on the perfume's label and then search for everyday toiletries that feature some of these notes. For example, if one of the top notes in your perfume is lemon myrtle and you usually apply hand sanitiser several times a day, you could look for a lemon myrtle hand sanitiser.

There are a couple of reasons you might want to do this. Firstly, whilst wearing your signature scent may make you feel beautiful, dousing yourself in it multiple times a day may result in your perfume overwhelming those around you. Secondly, if your favourite perfume is expensive, reapplying it all of the time could get quite costly.

By adding just a touch of this perfume to your pulse points in the morning and then using the less expensive scented hand sanitiser throughout the rest of the day, you will add a subtle whiff of this lovely scent to your body that people will recognise and fondly associate with you, without making anyone around you breathe in a cloud of your perfume or spending a fortune. Furthermore, you'll be using a very practical product that will keep you safe whilst simultaneously getting to enjoy the beauty of that particular perfume note.

Carry a little bag full of 'pick-me-ups' in your handbag

It's also a good idea to carry around a small bag filled with items that will refresh and beautify you when you don't have access to the toiletries, cosmetics or accessories you keep in your home. For example, if you decide to buy the aforementioned hand sanitiser, you might also want to keep a hand cream in a complementary scent in your bag, that will counteract the drying effects that the alcohol in sanitisers can cause. Additionally, you might want to pop a slightly shimmery gold or silver eyeshadow into this bag, that you can use to brighten up your eyes and use as a highlight that will brighten up your cupid's bow and cheekbones.

You may also want to keep some concealer in this bag, which will hide any dark under-eye circles you develop on long workdays, disguise spots that form when you're out of the house and even cover up any stay eyebrow hairs that you notice when you're out and about.
