I decided that I need a makeover for how to do my hair, clothes, face (make up), etc. Well, right now...I look kind of plain and I just want to get a lot girlier.

Right now, I have long, straight Asian hair and I was thinking of getting a perm. I wanted to get loose curls with side bangs. I have a narrow face, so I thought that the volume would balance it out. As for my clothes, I used to wear tops and jeans that were really unflattering. I found out that aeropostale have good prices for clothes that are more fitted. So overall, I think that the hair and clothes is taken care of. I just really need tips on my face.

I have tons of acne & acne scars (curse those crazy hormones) and back then, I didn't really try to cover them up or anything. Recently, I have tried to cover them up with Bare Minerals from my mom and it matches with my skin tone..but the acne scars are still noticable and the acne are seen as bumps. If I put on too much of the Bare Minerals to make the scars unnoticable, then the makeup becomes cakey. You see what I mean? Once I solve my acne problem, then I'll start to put on blush to enhance my make up routine.

So I put alot of thought into this "transformation" but I mainly need help on my skin problem I guess. If you have any hair, makeup, skin tips/suggestions, please share. :]

Michelle already gave great advice on hair and make up so I'm going to back up Steven on the skin part::

Don't use too much make up right now when you still have acne... I think you should work on clearing up your complexion before you cake up your face with too much make up. Pro Activ works great but make sure to ALWAYS use facial moisturizer because cleansers can really dry up your skin.

Also, makeup that claims not to clog pores/causes acne isn’t 100% true. Any makeup can contribute/worsen acne.



For a natural way to clear up skin:

Obtain enough sleep a day. Study shows that people who don’t get a normal amount of sleep will have worsened acne.



Drink water, it keeps your skin hydrated, improve skin's condition, and texture.



Better diet makes a better skin. (cut down on sugary food, carbs, and bad stuff. load yourself as much vegetable and fruits as you can)



Stay away from sun exposure as much as you can, sun rays will worsen acne
