3 Ways to Get Noticed 5/1/2013	Every notice that when you go out, more often that not, everyone is wearing similar outfits? Little black dresses, tight skirts and peplum, you know what I’m talking about. Makes it a bit difficult to get notice, doesn’t it? I love LBDs, peplum and skirts just as much as the next collegiette, so to get noticed I let my natural looks do the talking. For example, one of my favorite features is my eyes, so I like to accentuate them. I almost never the leave the house without eyeliner on; my reliance on that has made it the norm, and nothing that really makes me stand out (especially to those that see me regularly). So when I want to up the accentuation of my eyes, I use tons of mascara, usually two or three different kinds, so that they will look thick and long. I learned this trick from my cousin whose eyes always blow me away, and I really do think it’s made a big difference. When I pair this look with nude lipstick, it makes my eyes pop even more. I already have pretty full, red lips – so I tend to feel like I look silly with red lipstick, but the nude has a different effect on me, and I really like it. I save lipstick for very special occasions!
