| Looking Sensational - Cheer... Oct 29th 2011, 10:08 As a Cheerleader you are expected to look your best. Whether it be at a competition, game or try out, your appearance is important. When you add in the fact that your active lifestyle demands that your makeup, hair and overall appearances doesn't consume too much of your precious time, you definitely have your work cut out for you. So, how do you maintain that "fresh" look when you're working so hard physically? Here are some tips: - Keep in mind that less is usually better. Don't go overboard on any beauty products.
- Find a hair style that is attractive and highlights your best features. Keep in mind that you'll be jumping, flipping, running and stunting, so you'll want your hair to stay in place. Establish a routine and practice fixing your hair to ensure you're not wasting time on unnecessary steps.
- Use hair sprays, mousses, and styling gels sparingly. Chances are you'll be sweating and you don't want any of those products running in your eyes, nose or mouth.
- Keep your makeup simple. Learn how to make your best features stand out and how to minimize your flaws. Learn what colors look good on you and which don't. If you ever have the opportunity to have a makeover, take advantage of it.
- Stay up to date on what's in style. Read magazines, look at hair styles and makeup on TV or at the movies. Be willing to try new things and techniques. If you see someone that has a style you like, ask them how they did it.
- Stay away from strong and overpowering fragrances. Keep in mind that a lot of beauty products have fragrances added to them. So, between your shampoo, hair spray, perfume and lip gloss you could possibly have on a stinky mixture.
- Find a good lipstick or lip color that works well with your complexion and coloring. Apply foundation or powder to your lips before applying your lipstick, that way it will it stay in place and last longer. And don't underestimate the value of plain lip gloss or lip shine. They can look terrific on a number of people.
- Keep your eye makeup as simple as possible. Test your products out before the big day. Nothing can be worse than having your eye makeup running down your face.
- This should go without saying, but I'll say it anyway; don't forget good personal hygiene. Brush your teeth and use a deodorant that works. It won't matter how pretty you look, if no one wants to get close to you.
- Take good care of your skin. It's an investment that will pay off in years to come. Wash your face often and always remove your makeup before bed.
- Wear your best smile. A pretty smile is a great asset and one that most Cheerleaders are known for.
As you can see, it doesn't have to be a chore to look your best. Just like in Cheerleading, if you stay organized, practice and plan ahead, you can be a winner every time.  | |
