Life can throw us off and at times you may not feel like yourself. Especially if you’ve recently gone through some heartache.
Traditional glamour magic was about making people perceive you in a certain way. But what if we want to change our own perception of ourselves?
Here’s how to reclaim your confidence and power so you can feel amazing.
Find the energy you want to embody below and read the glamour magic tips that go with it.
Love & Courage
Color: Red
Makeup
Red eyeshadow definitely makes a statement but if that’s not your thing, a bright red lipstick is perfect for this. Every time you look in the mirror and see it, say a positive affirmation like how confident you are and how you attract others.
Even if you feel silly saying it at first, this is how you make the magic happen.
Nails
Depending how bold you want to be, I would say the longer the nails and the brighter the shade of red, the more boldness you will exude. Stiletto nails are a major vibe but any nail shape or length will work.
Add red glitter if you are into that to make your mani stand out even more.
Every time you look at your fingers it will be a reminder of how you are literally unstoppable.
Clothing
Red is a beautiful color for clothing if you want to make a statement. It especially looks pretty as a dress. I’m thinking asymmetrical designs, sharp angles and unique cuts.
Find a red dress in the style you feel most comfortable in and when you put it on set the intention that every time you wear it, you will feel bold and powerful.
Creativity
Color: Orange
Makeup
Orange eyeshadows and blushes will work well to stimulate your creativity. If that is a bit too much for you, you can replace it with a softer peach shade.
Nails
Bright orange nails are very unique which is what sparks your creativity in the first place. It will get your mind thinking outside the box.
There are many variations of this so you can choose how bold you want to go. Again if bright orange is too much for you, a lighter peach or muted orange will work in its place.
Clothing
Orange can be so fun if you find the right shade. There is such a thing as modern orange and I think the bag and the outfits in this photo capture that.
You can wear it to formal events or find a way to make it cute for everyday wear.
Intuition
Color: Lavender
Makeup
You could find many soft lavender eyeshadow shades out there from matte to shimmer. When you put it on, state your intention to be fully connected to your intuition.
If you’re into magical practices, shades of purple will help you bring that magic to life.
Nails
You can wear any shade of lavender and even have fun with gradients. Use a makeup sponge to swipe lines of 2-3 different shades of lavender and roll it over your nail after using a base coat. Repeat and finish with a top coat.
Clothing
On top of lavender having that soft feminine intuitive quality, wearing something very flowy makes sense as an energy worker or just someone trying to get in touch with their inner selves and feminine side.
Peace & Tranquility
Color: Turquoise
Makeup
Pretty greens and blues are said to be grounding. If you find some turquoise eyeshadow you love, set your intention of feeling balanced and at peace while you wear it.
They have eyeshadow palettes out there that are filled with all shades of blues and greens including turquoise and cerulean blue. To call in this energy, find the one that speaks to you.
Nails
Turquoise nails are not for everybody but if you don’t mind wearing colors that aren’t the most traditional nail polish colors, then by all means wear it to bring this energy in.
Make it brighter or lighter, matte or glitter. Whatever feels soothing to your soul.
Clothing
If you could find a turquoise dress or some outfit with soft and silky fabric, it will help with this vibe.
Go vintage, fancy, or find an everyday sweater to dress up. Whatever your style, you can find a way to add this peaceful color to your outfits.
Self-Love
Color: Pink
Makeup
You can really express your style with pink makeup. It’s versatile and comes in many hues and levels of brightness. It can be loud and eye catching or soft and feminine.
Nails
This is where you can tap into the shade of pink that makes you feel the most feminine. Go as bright or as light as you want, just make sure it vibes with you.
Some like it barely there while others like it neon. Whatever makes you feel the best is the one you should choose.
Clothing
Pink is a bold statement about female power and absolutely owning it. Especially when you wear it in the style of a business suit or something similar.
It works for any occasion whether it’s a formal dress or a dress to go out to a club or a lunch date with your friends.
Happiness
Color: Yellow
Makeup
Yellow is the color of joy and happiness and although it might seem weird as makeup, it’s totally doable.
Find a shade of yellow that looks good with your specific skin tone and see how it sparks happy feelings.
Nails
It can be tricky to find a shade of yellow for your nails because you don’t want it to look like nails that just turned yellow.
I find that bright pastel yellow nail colors work best for this. You can definitely tell they are nail polish and they are so bright and happy.
If you’re feeling adventurous, add a flower design for some extra vibes.
Clothing
Finding yellow clothing could be a challenge but when you do, it’s totally worth it. There is something so cheery about it that will not only make you happy, but everyone around you as well.
It is a color for lifting spirits and letting in joy.
Protection
Color: Black
Makeup
Your best bet with black makeup is to wear a smoky eye look. Otherwise you might just look super goth, which I think is cool too.
I’m big on black eyeshadow. Black everything, really. But to keep it office friendly, a smoky eye is the way to go.
Nails
Black nail polish might seem a bit severe to some, but think of it more like a high fashion color if you are looking for protection.
They say black absorbs negative energy so that you don’t have to.
Clothing
So many choices when it comes to black clothing. Find unique cuts that make the piece you’re wearing exciting.
Some people think too much black gets boring, but not if you find the right styles.
Purification
Color: White
Makeup
White eyeshadow can be so pretty. They have all sorts of shimmers and matte shades and brightnesses.
You can even find white eyeliner that looks cute on the top lid. If you don’t like just plain white, you can add it to some black eyeliner if you want.
Nails
White nails have been trending for a few years. At one time it was considered quite strange, and now it’s like the ultimate clean girl aesthetic.
It looks so fresh and pure. If full white nails are too much, maybe try a milky white that is more on the transparent side or a french manicure.
Clothing
Depending on your style, anything white will do. Silky dresses, whimsical skirts and tops, high heel boots, or uniquely cut styles are the vibe here.
I hope this helps you to embody the energy you want to feel and I hope it helps you make all your dreams and wishes come true!
Love and Light!
