Has your look not changed in the last five years? Since high-school perhaps? Are you still buying the same shades of lipstick, blusher and eye shadow that you have been using for years?

If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, then you are stuck in a beauty rut. Those who find themselves following the same daily routine when applying makeup and styling their hair should ask themselves – am I fed up with my looks? Am I bored by my old beauty routine? Am I a tad out of step with the times?

If the answer to any of these questions is also a resounding ‘yes’ – then it is time for a break. You have to recognise that two major things have changed in the last few years – one is your looks and the other is fashion – to ignore these issues and continue with the same routine, colours and hairstyle day after day, simply doesn’t do you any favours.

For example, your makeup should complement – not fight – your age. So, if you have been wearing a pinkish foundation thinking that it gives you a youthful glow, it is time to switch to one of the newer foundations with more natural-looking yellow undertones.

Throw away that dark eyebrow pencil – these days, an eyeliner brush dipped in a dry, dark brown eye shadow is a more subtle way to fill in and define brows. It is also high-time for your frosted lipsticks to go into forced retirement. Switch to a shimmery lipstick or a gloss that is sheer enough to let your lips show through. If you don’t know where to start, go through a few magazines and look at the latest trends in make-up. Cut out any pictures that inspire you. Look for images of models that have a similar complexion, hair and eye colour to yours and draw inspiration from what you see.

Next, visit your favourite makeup counter & ask a makeup artist to show you how to enhance your best features. This is the perfect time to experiment with new colours and formulations that you would not ordinarily try on your own. Do not be afraid to ask questions so that you know exactly how to re-create your new, up to date look at home. Updating your make-up means buying colours and finishes outside of your comfort zone. For instance, if you are still using powder-eye shadows, switch to cream shadows – these are softer and do not crease.

If a few age spots are appearing on the back of your hands, lucky for you there are many products tasked with fading these. At sites like Skin Lightening Advice you’ll find the best skin whitening cream articles, guidance and information.

You may also need to alter the way you do certain things – for instance, we used to believe that a thin eyebrow arch was best, but nowadays the brow shape is more natural and soft.

Browse magazines for images of hairstyles too. Ask trusted friends and also family members for ideas and advice on what they feel would suit you. If you have long hair and are loathed to cut it short, perhaps a funky updo would re-vamp your look without the need for scissors.

Many women, at some time in their life, get into a hair and makeup rut and although they want a new look, they tend to hold on to old-fashioned, comfortable and ‘safe’ ideas.

However, to update your look, you must throw away the old routines and products and open yourself to discovering a new, more modern and beautiful you.

If you’ve attempted saying positive realizations, messing with vision boards and various other utilities to help get you in the attracting mode and they haven’t been effective, there may be several reasons.

As for affirmations, remember the Universe matches your energy, your aligned intention, instead of the words you think. So you can think and jabber all day long, and if you are transmitting envy when you view a person who has a content love relationship, you are projecting lack. And nothing has to physically change around you in order for your beloved to show up. You do not need to relocate to a larger abode, or a nicer neighborhood, or a city that is populated with singles or couples however way you view it. The only thing you need to accomplish is begin where you are and stop the resistance.

Picture a scale. You know, the the scales of justice. Picture it equally balanced with no weights on either side. Now imagine that every time you place a happy thought over on the right side you put a weight on the attraction side and every time you have a doubtful thought, you put a weight on the resistance end. Where do you think you actually weigh in? The funny thing is, I thought I was a positive person. Oh boy, was I mistaken. Not only did I have so much rackets about previous relationships, but I didn’t even know it.
