For The Pretty Round Face Lass

If your face is widest at the cheekbones and has no visible tapering towards the chin, you have a round face. Based on this fact, you’re best advised to opt for long drops or the dangle ear-rings. This would help to elongate your face. However, stay away from dangle rings with round discs.   Model to follow would be Kate Bosworth.

For The Gorgeous Oblong Face Girl

If your forehead is elongated and your cheekbones are broad with a narrow width, you have an oblong face.  You can go for studs or clustered ear-rings or short dangles or rings with hoops that are medium to large in size.  Follow super model Joan Smalls as well; let her be your guide.

For The Sensual Square Face Lady

If your forehead and jaw are of similar length, then you have a square face. You can sport oval rings or circular rings, medium to long ones with a round edge or hoop ear-rings. Follow Miranda Kerr if you must.

For The Cute Heart Shape Face PYT

If your forehead is wider than the cheekbones and the lower half of your face is similar to a heart, well, you’ve a heart shaped face.  Get the chandelier shaped rings or tear drop like rings or those that are wider at the bottom than the top.  Follow celebrities like Michelle Pfeiffer, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Claudia Schiffer, and Naomi Campbell to seek guidance.

The gods were happy when they sculpted you they gave you a face for ear-rings of all sorts and shapes and kinds. However if the fashion consultants be considered, triangular ear-rings or simple studs be best for you! Model to be followed would be Rose Byrne.

Glasses can be worn for fashion or for function, either way you have to make an effort to look your best. Perfect eyewear mirrors your style, enhances your appearance and even has a power to minimize your imperfections while drawing the attention to your best features. In an ideal world, you would own dozens of pairs in various colors, shapes and styles to correspond to your mood and outfits, but in reality glasses can be way too expensive and you are limited to have just one or two pairs. In this case you have to make sure the ones you choose are as flattering as possible. Especially now, that the ‘geek-chick’ look has conquered the fashion world. Whenever the time comes to buy your next pair, keep in mind these 4 general tips:

Contrast – the shape of the frame should contrast the shape of your face, so if you have rounder features, better opt for more angular glasses, and angular features require more curvy shapes.

Proportion – look for frames which will be in proportion with the rest of your face. Don’t confuse it with choosing sunglasses, which have to be larger for the greater coverage. Remember, frames that look classy as a pair of sunglasses won’t necessarily look nice when being used for optical lenses.

Face shape – there are four general types of face shapes: round, heart, square and oval. You can simply trace the contour of your face with the help of pencil and a piece of paper placed on top of an image of your face, or go to the bathroom and trace your face outline on the bathroom mirror with an eyeliner or anything you have at hand. Once you determined which contour Is ours, you are ready to get your new frames with some degree of confidence they will complement your appearance.

Round face shape
It’s all about curves when it comes to round faces, width and length of the face are almost proportional. You can easily define the soft circular shape by the wide forehead, fuller cheeks and a rounded chin.
Opt for angular shapes, frames should be wider than they are deep. Rectangular frame styles will give the illusion of slimmer and longer face. Wearing narrow styles of rectangular frames will create a balance with rounder features. Frames with a slight up-sweep at the corners will flash those fabulous cheeks and pull the eye upward.
Remember that small, round or oversized frames won’t play well with your face shape, moreover they will make your face appear even more round, and we don’t want that to happen, right?

Oval face shape
Oval faces are defined by well-balanced features, jaw is slightly narrower than the forehead. People with oval shaped faces are so lucky, there are a wide range of options in the field of eyewear. Seriously, there is no limit to the shapes or kinds of glasses you can buy.
Square, rectangle, round and cat-eye frames are the best bet for you. If you want stay in vogue there are plenty of vibrant and fashion-forward styles. But take care to avoid too small or too large frames not to overwhelm your features.

Heart face shape
A heart-shaped face is defined by broad forehead, high cheekbones that taper to a small chin. Make sure that eyeglasses are wider than your forehead. Opt for bottom-heavy frames, like a deep square ones, to widen the lower part of your face or light colored rimless frames. The trick is very simple, frames should balance different widths of your face. Take large cat-eye frames into consideration, not only are they considered as a hot trend, but also are ideal for the heart-shaped faces. Aviator glasses will only reflect the shape of your face so remember to stay away from them.

Square face shape
The square face generally has strong features, well-defined by distinct angles in the jawline, cheeks and forehead. The main goal while choosing eyewear for square shapes should be to soften that natural angularity and to ignore frames that could emphasize the squareness of facial features.
You can never go wrong with oval or round glasses which contrast square features and make your face look softer and thinner. Another tip to remember is that upswept frames easily draw attention away from the chin and soften the sharpness of features. Glasses should be wider than your face, to give the illusion of slimmer face. Yet another foolproof trick that flatters square faces is to select frames in light neutral colors like beige or ivory. And our final advice to get that perfect classy look – oversized glasses, aviators or exaggerated rounds can also do miracles with achieving a balanced look.

Feminism used to get a lot of bad rep. People used to associate it with man hating and bra-burning, and hairy armpits. There’s still a lot of people who are confused about what feminism is. The main problem, in my opinion, in that feminism needed a modern day hero, a role-model we could look up to, or relate to. Someone who would be popular and famous, someone people would look up to, who could proudly say they’re a feminist. Finally the time has come and a lot of people like that are emerging. There are writers, actors and celebrities that identify as feminists but it seemed like even though they’re very popular, they still are limited to their following and that’s not enough to get the world out for the whole world to hear.

That’s where Beyonce comes in and saves the day. The brilliant thing about Beyonce is that she’s mega-famous. You would really have to struggle to find a person who hasn’t at least heard of Beyonce. Her music is popular, it’s catchy and it’s there to stay. So she did a brilliant thing and released a self-titled album “Beyonce” that pretty much made her the world renowned feminist icon.

Beyonce always seemed like a bit of a feminist and the views and opinions she expressed sounded like she was all about equality, but the words “feminist” and “feminism” were rarely mentioned. There’s nothing wrong with that, she was just quietly (well, as quietly as you can when you’re mega-famous) doing the right thing. With the release of her latest album she took that extra step and proclaimed to the world that she’s a feminist and it’s a great. She made feminism her main message and all the feminists in the world are very grateful to her for doing that. She now proudly performs on stage in front of a huge sign that says “FEMINIST” and it’s glorious. But it’s not just an empty word. Her songs, pretty much every single song on her self-titled album “Beyonce” has a feminism theme running through it.

All of the songs on the album are brilliant and you should definitely listen to the whole album if you haven’t already (it’s been out for ages, do you live under a rock?).

The song “Flawless” is particularly amazing in that respect. Let’s quote some of it, shall we?
“I know when you were little girls
You dreamt of being in my world
Don’t forget it, don’t forget it
Respect that, bow down bitches (Crown!)
I took some time to live my life
But don’t think I’m just his little wife
Don’t get it twisted, get it twisted
This my shit, bow down bitches”

Not only is this song incredibly catchy, but it also explores the theme of fame and marriage and career. In just a few lines Beyonce managed to express that just because she’s famous, it doesn’t mean she’s not allowed to take some personal time off. And just cause she got married and had a baby doesn’t mean she’s just a wife and mother, she’s still a badass woman who has an incredible career and you should respect that. Hopefully, the fact that she’s married will also make people reconsider their false accusations of feminist hating men. Cause clearly, we don’t. She’s really a wonderful example of how you CAN have it all. You don’t have to choose between having a family or a career, you can do both and more. Beyonce managed to get married, have a baby, get back into amazing shape, write a new album and shoot a video for each song, then release it without any PR and still sell a million copies in a week (all that under the scrutiny of media). So, ladies, we all should take a leaf out of her book and remember that if you really want something, you can do it all, no excuses.

Another wonderful thing Beyonce did in this song is include the extract of a TEDx talk by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie where she talks about feminism. That was a brilliant idea, because TEDx talks don’t get nearly enough publicity, and including this extract in Beyonce’s song really shared the message with an enormous audience. There is really no way to make the message more clear than that, so let’s just quote it:

“We teach girls to shrink themselves
To make themselves smaller
We say to girls,
“You can have ambition
But not too much
You should aim to be successful
But not too successful
Otherwise you will threaten the man.”
Because I am female
I am expected to aspire to marriage
I am expected to make my life choices
Always keeping in mind that
Marriage is the most important
Now marriage can be a source of
Joy and love and mutual support
But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage
And we don’t teach boys the same?
We raise girls to see each other as competitors
Not for jobs or for accomplishments
Which I think can be a good thing
But for the attention of men
We teach girls that they cannot be sexual beings
In the way that boys are
Feminist: the person who believes in the social
Political, and economic equality of the sexes”

When it comes to Fall beauty, pumpkins have obviously stolen the spotlight. While we love that great orange gourd, there are so many more delicious scents and ingredients that deserve a little love this season. After all, pumpkin isn’t the only Fall-forward ingredient with beauty benefits. We’re huge advocates of all things cinnamon (it’s just so festive!), and our friends at all-natural beauty brand S.W. Basics feel the same way.

If you haven’t tried the Brooklyn-based beauty brand, you’re missing out. Each product consists of just a few simple ingredients, making it easy and fun to customize each formula, so it’s right for your skin care needs. The body scrub is literally good enough to eat . . . yes, we tasted it (more than once). S.W. Basics whipped up a custom face mask just for us, using just a few things you can find in your kitchen. Trust us, the mixture smells amazing, but the glow you’ll get after using it is even better. Bonus: you can double the recipe to use it as a body scrub. The caffeine in coffee grounds works wonders on sagging, lackluster skin.

Here’s all you need:

1 heaping tablespoon leftover coffee grounds
2 tablespoons ground oats or S.W. Basics exfoliant
1 heaping tablespoon creamed honey
1-2 generous shakes of cinnamon

Combine antioxidant-rich coffee, exfoliating oats, blemish-fighting honey, and skin-brightening cinnamon in a small bowl. Stir until a paste forms, then carefully pat the mixture onto your skin (no rubbing!), taking care to avoid contact with your eyes. Leave on for up to 20 minutes before rinsing with warm water. Bask in your fresh-faced, luminous, “I just got back from a brisk jog amongst falling leaves” glow. If you have sensitive skin, reduce the amount of cinnamon or omit entirely — you’ll still get radiant results.
