Our lovely weekly column from Ms. Pamela Pitts:
Hi L’BAE Nation you beautiful blessed people of God! Yes I know it’s ugly outside and there is nothing that you’s rather do than to sit by a fire place and drink hot cocoa, but unfortunately many of us have to go outside and tackle the coldness to work or to run errands. In either case, we have to go out! Let’s not think about the dreariness of the winter weather. Instead, let’s keep a ray of sunshine over our heads by dressing like it’s still spring and summer time. That’s right, add color!
Color blocks the winter blue-blahs
Although your blues, blacks and grays may seem to match the weather outside, it’s time to take control! Take control of how you feel! If you feel blah, then you will dress and look blah. Adding color to your skin and wardrobe will enhance your emotional state, causing a positive reaction to occur. What does this mean? Add a new color lipstick, eye shadow or hair color to an accenting wardrobe and BAM you have hit the jackpot! (Check out the L’BAE Cosmetics/Consultants www.lbaeinspire.net) Colorful expression is key as they will go great with your blues, blacks and grays! What colors might you ask? Whatever colors you like! Don’t be afraid to mix and match your wardrobe. Polka-dots with solids are fab as well as stripes or a floral print. Be bold and stand out! This will make the sun shine through you despite the dull atmosphere that’s outside!
Hair and Makeup Color is a great place to start!
Let’s start with a new hair color! If you have been brunette or black, go a little lighter to auburn or light honey brown. One level of change will not be harsh on your hair. You can also add some caramel highlights if an all -over color is too drastic of a change . This color contrast will definitely create a sun-kissed new you without washing you out.
Next you can try a new lip color such as a coral or a plum as these colors are bold and captivating to any smile. If you don’t wear lipstick, try a colored lip gloss as the shine and the moisture will make any pair of lips feel amazing in these cold temperatures. For those of us that like to color our eyelids, an awesome eye shadow such as the one from the L’BAE cosmetic line will make those eyes pop! During the winter blue blahs, try colors that will accentuate your eyes such as gold, bronze, pink and apricot. These will add a glow of warmth and a dazzle of glamour as you trod out into the sub- zero degree weather…. burr!
The Natural Look
If Makeup is not something that you are into and the bold statement pieces in your wardrobe do not exist, it’s okay. Just be natural and be you! A little lip gloss and mascara can awaken any face without all of the glitz, glamour and fuss. It’s Amazing! Try it! Whatever is in your wardrobe, you bought it! That means that you like it, so pick pieces that are interchangeable in order to make a creative outfit and this will become your bold statement look. Most importantly don’t forget to add color that will make your sun shine during the cold winter blue-blahs.
