A Few Tips On How To Look Good

• Notice how people always complain about their passport photographs? The direct frontal view is often not flattering. The best view of a person's face is when the camera is positioned slightly to the side.

• An onlooker follows a curved line in the middle of the face. Notice how the pleasing face has a curved line starting from the brow going down to the root of the nose and right down to the tip. Try to enhance and not to break this line in your makeup.

• Most people will see you from a comfortable distance of three feet away. This distance around the person is referred to as the psychologically "comfort zone". Any casual person standing closer than three feet from you will cause you to be uncomfortable. When you want to know how you look to others, try standing one-and-a-half feet away from the mirror and look at yourself. You are now re then three feet away from your reflection. That is the comfortable distance from which another person looks at you. If you cannot see any blemish on your face, it is probably okay.

• Most people are unaware that their profile is constantly being observed, for obvious reasons (the onlooker is looking at you from your side). Take a photograph of your profile if you want to know what you look like from the side. You then can decide what you want to do to enhance your appearance.
