Your personal style is your way of showing the world who you are. It’s the ultimate form of self expression, and when you feel like the outside reflects who you are on the inside it can really help you to feel happier in your own skin. Here are some fun ways to showcase your individual style…
Find clothing that expresses your style
One of the easiest ways to showcase your personal style is to find clothing items that make you feel like ‘you’ when you put them on. If you can’t find what you’re looking for on the highstreet, check out niche or alternative shops for pieces. You could modify clothing items yourself if you’re handy with a sewing machine, or even check out charity shops for unusual vintage pieces. Do some research into different styles online and find something you like, not being afraid of course to switch things up to make it personal to you!
Try out different makeup looks
Makeup is a fantastic tool. You could add a little makeup just to accentuate your features, or you could go all out and try something bold and dramatic. What do you have to lose, if you don’t like it simply wash it off! Learn different techniques such as cut crease and smokey eyes and contouring. Experiment with different colours and generally just have fun with it. You don’t need to spend a fortune, there are plenty of great makeup brands at the drugstore– check out reviews before you buy if you’re unsure. Youtube is full of recommendations and tutorials for you to get your teeth into.
Consider a piercing or tattoo
If you’re after something more permanent then how about a tattoo or a piercing? You’ll always want to consider this carefully, especially with tattoos as your style and tastes can change over time. However, if you have a design that you’ve wanted for years then why not take the plunge? Piercings are of course less permanent as you can take them out later on if you want to. From facial piercings to golden belly bars from your navel, even dermal implants, there’s a lot to consider. Always use a reputable tattooist and piercer, you’ll want to make sure you do your research.
Visit the hairdresser
Finally, your hair can make such a huge impact on the way you look. Changing your hair colour can allow you to make a dramatic difference and really feel more like ‘you’. Maybe you’re a blonde but want to move over to the dark side, or perhaps you’re naturally raven haired but want to lighten it up. You might even feel like going a fun colour like pink, purple, blue or even a mixture for a trendy ‘unicorn hair’ look.
