5 Quick Ways to Look More Glamorous

Written by Bryce

If you’re in your 20’s or older I’m sure you remember Glamour Shots.  You know, the delightful 80’s-fashion-show-meets-Motophoto that was in every American mall?  Glamour Shots, in my mind, never died.  In fact, every day when I put my makeup on I consciously think “how can I look more glamorous today?”

Well, after much studying I’ve gotten to the bottom of it.

1. Blush. Use as much blush as humanly possible.  The closer to hot pink the shade is, the better.  And when you think you have enough on, you don’t.  Double that amount.

2. Eyes. Eye shadow, baby! Blue, purple, metallic green! Layer ’em on thick! There’s a reason you never hear the words “natural” and “glamorous” together.

3. Hair. Tease it, make it big.  Keep teasing till your arm hurts.  If for some reason that doesn’t work, you can always go for the “wet look” by grabbing yourself a bottle of Dep.  You’ll need the whole bottle.

4. Skin. Just use as much foundation as possible.  Please remember to pick a color 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone.

5. Demeanor. You have a choice… either look like you’re about to win a 3-tier chocolate mousse cake for taking these shots, or look completely disappointed in life as a whole.  It’s up to you.

Please see photographic examples below for inspiration.

  • Samantha, every time I read one of your comments I really chuckle. Love your sense of humor.
    oh, I also chuckle when I go to someone’s house and they still have that pic on display. LOL (yes, it has happened.)
