Hi Girls. Everywhere we look we are bombarded with beauty stereotypes in magazines, on TV, on the Radio, billboards, shop windows, leaflets the list is endless and we can’t get away from it even if we wanted to, it would be posted through our letter boxes. There is force pushed on girls and women to look and certain way, be a certain way and act a certain way, a force that is not naturally possible. No one naturally has satin clear skin with no pigment, blemishes, spots or dry skin. No one naturally has big thick long lashes that reach above their eye brows. No one naturally has glowing golden sun kissed skin all year round. No one naturally has long thick hair all the same colour, with not one split end. Remember the words no one naturally.
So the big question … Why is Perfection advertised everywhere we look?
Perfection is advertised to sell a product, make up being an example. Question for you girls, would you buy mascara that didn’t look good on the person who was wearing it in the advert? We never get the same results like the girls in the Adverts, so why do we keep buying the products, do we think that one day the product will do as it says or is it because we can’t live without them? If it’s because we can’t live without them, why can’t you live without them?
At Look Out For Them we are not saying girls should not wear makeup, but girls should be able to leave the house and go to school without it, being comfortable in their own skin. Not letting makeup become a part of your daily routine.

Tip 1
Exchange your expensive make up brands for cheaper brands, as we have discovered expensive brands don’t do as they say. Your expensive brands may have a better tool, for an example expensive mascara may have a better wand. Keep it, clean it and use it with the cheaper brand mascara. It may not fit and lock in the mascara tube so just keep it to the side and use it when you need to. When it comes to make up we pay more for expensive products because of packaging and certain elements the product has, once you have these elements there is no need to keep buying them, the material content is the same the only thing that maybe different is the colour the main difference is packaging and design.

Tip 2
Try a natural Brown mascara or even a clear mascara instead of black, only apply a couple of coats don’t over load your eyes with mascara as this can clump lashes together and give a spider leg effect, which is not a natural look.

Tip 3
Eye brows we all have them, but some girls over pluck them, threading is the best technique and is as cheap as £1.00 depending where you go. Ask for a natural look you can expect redness but the result is amazing, threading lasts for 2 weeks sometimes longer, the hairs that grow back you can pluck with a pair of tweezers, just pluck the hairs that hair grown back don’t get carried away. Even get your mum to do it as the natural line has already been created for you through threading.
Tip 4
For girls that wear foundation, it really isn’t good for your skin, as you are clogging and blocking pores, if you’re wearing foundation to cover up blemishes and spots it will only make the problem worse. Layers of foundation will only dramatise the fact you’re covering something up and will create layers over your spots and make them more noticeable. If you feel bare without foundation exchange it for a tinted moisturiser which hydrates your skin throughout the day giving you a nice natural glow and is much cheaper and healthier than a foundation.
