The US Influence On International Beauty

Many women eagerly open the newest edition of a fashion or beauty magazine and read up on all the lastest style tips and tricks. What’s in and what’s out is dictated on those glossy pages. From Milan, Paris, London and New York fashion trends and movements are detailed. Women want to know every product, color or style that is popular. However, there is one distinct missing component.

Usability

In the fashion and beauty industry there are a great many products and choices available. And if the average consumer is Caucasian those choices can be overwhelming. Women of different skintones have a different struggle when choosing beauty products. They are often relegated to the same palette of colors in the same tones year after year because it is assumed their skin is not as versatile as Caucasian skin and can carry off only a limited color or style range.

This is untrue. Look at Asian skin. There is a huge difference between Japanese skin and Filipino skin. There is a great difference between Korean skin and Cambodian skin. And within each of these categories lie a greater variety of skintones all waiting for the colors that bring out their natural radiance and their own unique beauty. Even face and eye shapes differ within Asian regions.

With so much of the focus on beauty and style trends that come from Europe and America it’s not hard to see why Asian skin can be overlooked. In general there is not a predominance of Asian people in those areas and the need is not fully realized.

It seems that pale skin is still the ideal skin color. That thought is perpetuated, often unknowingly through beauty trends, and women with different skintones may go to great lengths to achieve that perfect alabaster skintone. The problem is they don’t look natural with skin that color. The skin color that does look good on them often goes unnoticed by designers or by the women themselves.

Things Are Changing

Here’s the most exciting part. The United States, over the past decade or so, has begun to recognize all skintones and their intrinsic beauty. And even better, American companies and fashion icons and style magazines are starting to focus more on them. There are more diverse models and fashion icons than ever before and it’s not unusual to open any beauty or style magazine and see a variety of skintones. Companies like Sheer Aqua (www.sheeraqua.com) are dedicated to developing products specifically for Asian skin.

This is wonderful because the United States is opening the door for women to experiment with their natural skintones and really enhance the beauty they already have. For some women it’s an option they may have never considered before, preferring to cover up their golden skin with peach or pink foundation because that was the only choice offered or because they desired to look like a highly publicized person.

America is really bringing the value of different skintones to the public and sharing the beauty that was there all along but never really maximized. As these publications, blogs, products and ideas reach out many women will see beauty in a whole new way. Not only are color palettes changing but formulas are changing to provide better products for skin that is prone to premature aging or wrinkles, skin that is very smooth with few or no pores, skin that is high in melanin or skin that is extremely oily. Each skintone has a unique trait that companies are focusing on and developing products specific to that trait.

While the US influence on international beauty trends may have been narrow in the past, it’s only getting better for the future. For instance, Sheer Aqua (www.sheeraqua.com) is opening their first store in China to better serve the Asian clientele they are specializing in. As companies like Sheer Aqua grow, the result is more specialized products available directly to specific cultures. Women everywhere are starting to embrace their skin now that it’s becoming easier to find suitable products, colors and style techniques.

Are you a woman who follows your own beauty tips or do you usually take beauty advice from someone else such as people and beauty books and magazines.

With beauty, you must always take care of your skin, face, eyes, lips, nails and hair and you can’t forget your body as well.

Did you know that drinking eight glasses of water a day will rehydrate your skin and when you cleanse your skin, you should always use a foaming cleanser which is so much better for your skin with products such as beta hydroxy which provides a mild exfoliation that makes a small, but meaningful contribution in the battle against fine lines. So don’t get lazy when it comes to washing your face.

However, your beauty tips for yourself should never be a complicated thing and always buy essential products and techniques that should set you up for life and your make up should determine the best of the best with over so many make up and skin products to choose from.

Olay regenerist is one product that is so good because it contains a peptide that helps build collagen for your skin which is also a great moisturizer and Neutrogena is also great because it contains UV Ray filters with a very high SPF.

For your lips: Covergirl amazements is kind of like a lip miracle that looks great and goes great with your skin tone.

Note: Your skin products should be like your house keys, meaning you should never leave home without it.

When buying make up: You should always make sure that you buy good quality make up because any cosmetics could do double duty.

I’ve recently read about some hair myths and it was said that lemon works perfect for your hair because it gives you that shine and mayonnaise is used as a conditioner and avocoado as well and beer also works for your hair because it’s known as a a body builder for your fine tresses and you should always sleep with a satin pillow to prevent your hair from running flat and dry.

Although, a great make up job will play out your looks and make you look fabulous and maybe even enhance your looks and layering moisturizers will give your skin that lift, in other words: pop, define, and finish.

It’s a known fact that concealers always cover up your under eye darkness and puffiness around your eyes and making you look less tired with that droopy eye look that might just add years to your looks.

With clothing and dressing yourself: You should always wear nice high end clothing and shoes without breaking the bank with all of those affordable fashion pieces which is financially sound.

Now you can pear off your outfits with a little bit of sparkly jewelry because it’s all about the accessories to bring an outfit together.

know that: With any well tailored pair of jeans, a great pair of shoes will go great with it.

Now certain dresses speaks for itself so you won’t need any accessories at all to go with it and you can maintain a fabulous look with not that much money by shopping at affordable stores such as Target, H&M, Old Navy, The Gap, Forever 21, and all of those other high end designer shops that sells Manolos, Chanel, Gucci, Prada, and every other brand you can name with a fraction of the cost.

When dressing yourself: You have to respect yourself or even look like you do because you don’t want to walk around with a bad look and just keep up with those latest trends when you’re out shopping and when you want to meet a man and meeting Mr.Right isn’t going to happen when you’re dressing that wrong because what man do you know that’s going to take you serious when you’re dressing bad and you don’t want to wear any outdated clothing so focus on yourself because in all actuality men want to take a woman out if she’s definitely dressed the part because he will want to parade her around town and show her off becase a bad outfit is not so easy on the eyes.

So never do shirts that are too short or jeans that don’t fit right because you might want to really dress your body and in order to hook a hottie, you might want to dress nice at all times and it starts off with the right jeans and shoes and a bad outfit speaks a lot about a person so you’ll need to wear something that portrays you as a woman and that speaks confidence and every woman deserves to look beautiful.

So when it comes to beauty tips, fashion and style, and of course shopping for the latest trends, you deserve to always look good and giving yourself a vast improvement with a nice upgradable look that speaks WOW.
