How to look great for school:

• Spots and red areas are the biggest no ever, they can ruin your appearance and look horrible. So here is an easy way to hide them:

Apply concealer or foundation over the infected area and run in very lightly. Now get powder (if you don't have powder it's fine, just look in you eye shadow box for a colour that matches your skin.)

And dab over the concealer. Rub in so it's not too noticeable then apply more powder and dust lightly.

• Eyelashes actually make a surprising difference to your look. Whenever i go to school without it, everyone notices! But it's hard to get one that does clump, and you need to decide if you want to thick lashes or long lashes, trying to do both looks messy so it's best to choose one or the other.

I personally would go for long, because this causes less clumps, apply a few layers and mix between blinking on the brush and brushing the lashes. For thick, just buy a thicker mascara, which often come with unclumpers.

When you've found your perfect look, get a cotton bud and blink over it to get rid of any excess.

•Nails look lovely painted, so if your school allows it, wear it, remember to be patient and let it FULLY dry before you touch anything.

If your school does allow it, give yourself a manicure, clean under the nails and file them, use a cuticle stick to push back the cuticles, concentrate on the cuticles to make sure the stick does slip under, this really hurts.

Then put on clear nail varnish for a glossy look.

•Lips! Go easy with them, spend some time trying different glosses and colours, quiz your friends to make sure you get exactly the right colour for you!

•Eyes again! Using the eyeshadow which is the same colour as your skin, thinly apply on your eyelids for sparkly eyes.

•All there is to say about eyeliner is that you must not put a lot on, it makes you look very tired!

•Hair, straight hair does look great, i mean dead straight hair, like mine. Just use a bit of volume spray, spray about arms length away from your hair, too much and your hair goes limp :(

Try clipping back a little bit from the front to the side of your head, give some slack and pin it.

•Walk with your head held high and good posture, don't hide your self, speak confidently.

• Remember to look good on the inside too, be kind, respectful and helpful, ignore mean or hurtful comments, show everyone that you are so much better than that, but don't think too much of your self because you can begin to be self centred or conceited.
