Get the X Factor Look – Top Tips
Monday, November 8th, 2010Rachel here from La Spa…
X Factor is everyone’s favourite Saturday night thing!! I’m sure all girls (me included) love to watch the not only for the singing but for the fashion and style too!!

I’m also sure that most of you wonder how to achieve some of the make-up or hair style looks on the show, so I thought that I would help you all out and give some tips on how to do this.
As we do not have our own stylists we need to know how to dress and create a look for ourselves that suits us and our colouring.
The main thing to know when shopping for clothes, hair colours or make-up colours is to know your own underlying skin tones.
If you have pale skin and flush quite easily then you probably have some pink undertones in your skin and therefore colours with peach and pale pinks and corals will look really good on you.
If you have an olive type skin and tan quite easily then you will have orange undertones in your skin and colours such as coppers or black or greens will look really good on you.
Another great way to judge what tones are in your skin is to stand in front of a mirror and using some of your own clothes garments with different shades of blue, red, orange, pinks etc, hold them up against your skin and take note of which shade makes you look more bright and awake and which shade makes you look more tired or drowned out. This is a sure fire way of figuring out which colours suit you best and so you will never buy another garment or make-up product that doesn’t suit your colouring.
If you would love to achieve some of the make-up looks on the show why not go to your local beauty salon and book in for a make-up lesson?
