Want that smart, polished, quietly powerful vibe? Here’s how I do it for clients: 1. Hair: Stop chasing “volume” like it’s the only goal. A sleek, close-to-the-head look often reads more refined. Over-lifted crowns can make your proportions look off—big head, tiny shoulders. Think clean black or soft highlights à la Paris. 2. Eyes: Always use lower liner. Shift eyeshadow backward—dark shades at the outer corners, lighter ones inside. Highlight the inner corners. Wing the outer liner upward—subtle, not dramatic. 3. Brows: Sculpted, not blocky. Use brow gel to define each hair and exaggerate the arch slightly. 4. Lenses: Avoid light-colored contacts. Honestly, skip them altogether. Nothing’s sharper than a clear, direct gaze. 5. Lips: Nude glosses only. Use a liner to expand your natural shape—clean, full, intentional. It’s not about looking sweet. It’s about looking focused. #beauty #makeup #SmartLook
