Do you want to slay that Instagram picture, but you’re broke? READ THE BLOG!

Hello everyone! Have you ever felt like a fetus for a day that whenever you stare at the mirror you’ll be like: “DO I SERIOUSLY LOOK LIKE THIS EVERY DAY?”, and you immediately feel bad about not even trying to brush your hair? Well if you did, this is the right blog for you! Inspired by my favorite YouTuber, Alisha Marie (Go visit her channel)!

If you wanted to achieve that “hot” or “glammed” look, but without spending a penny (‘cause you are broke like me), then you can probably do it. All you have to do is follow these tips and you’re good to go!

#1 – Skincare

I guess that this is the most important part that everybody else forgets when they are trying to look comfortable. Obviously, to feel confident about your physical appearance, you should also remember to take care of your natural foundation (skin) which could totally help you feel comfortable. So of course, you’ll need to have a proper skin care routine to make sure that your skin is radiant and healthy. Aside from this, you also need to take a bath because…duh. You can state the obvious.

#2 – Shaving (OPTIONAL)

This second step is actually optional because not all of us are comfortable to shave, but that is actually normal since we all have body hairs and I don’t see any problem with that. So it is up to you if you wanted to shave or not.

#3 – Oral Health

Like the skincare routine, of course, it is also important to include your oral health in achieving a confident look. Remember, fresh breath is important to make you feel more comfortable. And of course, there is no accessory that you can compare with your own smile, so keep those teeth shining!

#4 – Makeup

Now that you are done with your grooming steps, you can now proceed to the “glow up” part of your look. This could also be optional, cause you might not want to wear makeup, but that’s totally up to you. Stick to the things that make you feel comfortable. In this part, you can fill your eyebrows, apply concealer to those dark under eye circles, apply shadow, bronzer, lipstick, and of course highlight! You can never miss that part.

#5 – Hair

The next part is your hair. Remember that the hair is the person’s own crown so you should also take good care of it. You can opt to have your hair up or down. Whichever you feel comfortable, do it!

#6 – Outfit

And last but not least, the outfit! Complete your look with the outfit that could either be cute, girly, baddie, trendy, or chic. But of course, nothing makes the outfit look more put together if the wearer is comfortable with it. So choose an outfit that is your style, yet comfortable.

Those are the things that Alisha recommended with my personal touch. Now that you followed these steps, you can now conquer the world by slaying yet not spending a lot of money.

But always remember that genuine beauty should be on the inside and not just on the outside.
