It's a new year, and you’ve decided you need a new look. Good for you! Whether you want a makeover or a makeunder, the experts have some great tips for achieving style that’s simple and natural, and won’t break the bank.

Makeup: Less Is More -

  • use light, natural looking foundations, blush, and eye make-up
  • use them sparingly
  • single color eye-shadow is best
  • lose the clumpy mascara
  • try a natural-color pencil on your lips, then top with a pink-toned gloss
  • pinkish blush adds healthy color to skin

Fashion: A Few Key Pieces -

  • choose one vintage-inspired piece
  • pair it with something ultra-modern, like a pencil skirt or well-cut jeans
  • add an embellishment, earth-toned and natural like shells, wooden beads, mother of pearl to instantly update your look
  • buy a few strands of chunky wooden beads
  • higher-cut jeans are okay, not everyone can wear the ultra low-rise

Color Your New Year -

  • look for tones that either mimic your natural coloring or complement it, tones and shades seen in your hair, skin and eyes

Hang On to Personal Style -

  • don’t get so caught up in trends that you lose sight of your personal style
