18 tips for the ultimate glamor look

The face is the center of attention. Beautiful eyes, a radiant smile, clear skin - these and other details determine how likeable or attractive we perceive our counterpart. Therefore, if you want to make a glamorous appearance, you should invest time in the makeup. More is not always better, it is the right details that count. Therefore, think about what your individual assets are and how you can emphasize them. For example, focus on the eyes, or on the lips, or on the cheeks. Otherwise, the makeup quickly looks overloaded. So proceed step by step to achieve the perfect glamor make-up:

Tip 1: Let your complexion shine Clear and smooth skin is associated with youthfulness and beauty. Hardly anyone is blessed with it by nature. Almost everyone has redness, pimples, wrinkles, dark circles or other "blemishes" on their face. This is completely normal, but with the right makeup you can make them disappear in seconds. If you already have very clear skin, concealer and a light powder are often sufficient. This allows you to cover dark circles or small bumps like a pimple and mattify the skin. On the other hand, if you suffer from larger skin imperfections, makeup will help conceal them. This is available with different opacity according to your own needs. However, it is important that you choose the right shade and build up the layers slowly. Otherwise your face will quickly appear mask-like or older than you are. Give your complexion the finishing touch with a hint of blush or some bronzer for a summery look.

Tip 2: Glamor for the eye area It is said that the eyes are the gateway to the soul. Many women therefore prefer to emphasize their eye area in order to draw the other person's gaze to it. Mascara is a must because it makes your eyes shine and the lashes look more dramatic. If desired, you can even help with artificial eyelashes. For a glamorous look, eyeliner is also recommended – on the upper or lower lid, depending on the shape of the eye and personal taste. How you design the eye shadow is also an individual decision. Many women go for natural tones in everyday life, but for a glamorous make-up it can also be stronger. Eyeshadows with glitter particles or dark tones are also ideal for "smokey eyes". If, on the other hand, you want to emphasize the lips, you can also do without the eye shadow.

Tip 3: Highlight the lips Eyes versus lips – as mentioned before, it's an either/or decision when it comes to makeup. If you choose the lips, feel free to choose a bold color like alluring red or dark purple. Consider the occasion and the outfit. It's a good idea to line your lips first with a matching lip liner, which will help the lipstick stick and make your pout look fuller. On the other hand, if you emphasize the eyes, a subtle nude tone looks good on the lips.

Tip 4: Don't emphasize everything equally There is a fine line between glamorous makeup and makeup that looks "cheap". It is therefore important to always keep a reasonable level and – as already mentioned – not to emphasize everything equally. So decide what you want to showcase. You are welcome to change from occasion to occasion. In this way, you always ensure a surprise when you appear with "smokey eyes", sometimes with deep red lips or sometimes with eyeliner in a "cat-eye shape". You are also welcome to emphasize atypical areas such as the eyebrows or your cheekbones. Do what you like is the motto - but don't overdo it.

Tip 5: Less is more! You should also take this motto to heart when it comes to glitter. Because of course it should not be missing in a real glamor look. But it shouldn't be too much of a good thing here either. Especially when it comes to makeup, you should only use glitter in a subtle way, for example in eyeshadow or on the lips - again an either/or decision. But you can also put glitter in your dress or shoes. So think about what you want to sparkle and draw attention to. It is also important that you use the same shades. Suppose that you wear glittery shoes of silver color, then glittery eyeshadow or lipstick must also match. Different glitter tones otherwise quickly appear overloaded.

Outfit ideas for the glamor look

The perfect glamor look is always a combination of the right makeup and the right outfit. Before you sit down at the make-up table, you should therefore have selected and put together the clothes. Only then can you create a coherent look with certainty. Which outfit you choose depends on various factors: again the occasion, your personal taste and simply what your wardrobe has to offer. Of course, you can also shop in good time before the respective festivity and thereby complete the glamorous outfit. In principle, you have two options. Either you create the "glamor factor" with a very eye-catching piece of clothing or you rely on the right combination of different simple parts. Here are some ideas for inspiration:

Tip 6: Rhinestones, sequins and rivets make the outfit sparkle Most people associate glamor with sparkling details such as sequins. With the right lighting, they make your clothes shine and thus guarantee that you will attract everyone's attention. A fully sequined dress is a great example of this, and with such a glamorous eye-catcher, you can keep your shoes, makeup, and accessories rather simple. But it doesn't have to be sequins - rhinestones or rivets have a similar effect. So if you are aiming for a more feminine look, rhinestones are a perfect choice, be it on a dress, on a top or on a skirt. The possibilities of where and in what quantity they can be attached are almost endless. If, on the other hand, you want to create a rocking and cool glamor factor, the rivets that are so popular at the moment are more suitable. But be careful: rivets are not suitable for every occasion!

Tip 7: Tights with glitter applications It doesn't always have to be the obvious items of clothing such as a dress or blouse that radiate the glamor look. You can make your outfit even more exciting if you work with unexpected details. How about, for example, glittering tights with the “little black dress”? So you can integrate the glamor very discreetly and don't have to worry that the look will look overloaded overall. Such tights can be worn perfectly under a skirt or dress and combined with high heels. But here, too, a break in style with rocking boots or sporty sneakers is possible - depending on what you prefer.

Tip 8: Jeans and leather for a cool glam rock look Modifications such as the glam rock look are also very popular and allow you to find your very own style. Especially if it is not an official occasion, but for example your birthday or a New Year's Eve celebration, the historical glam rock look can be a great alternative. Combine different items of clothing made of denim or (artificial) leather as you wish. Rivets are always good too, for example on ankle boots. You can achieve a certain elegance with monochrome colors or in combination with classic clothing such as a blouse or a blazer. If you opt for the glam rock look, the make-up must also match: "Smokey eyes" or deep red lips are a perfect choice for this.

Tip 9: Coordinate the glitter factor with the makeup Of course, the fact that makeup and outfit have to be consistent not only applies to the glam rock look, but also to the use of glitter. If you have decided on sequins or rhinestones, you should be sparing with the glitter when making up. Otherwise it will be too much of the "sparkling" overall. However, if you wear a rather simple outfit, perhaps a white blouse with an elegant pants suit and glittering shoes, you are welcome to pick up the sparkling color again in eye shadow or lipstick.

Wear appropriate accessories

So too much glitter is not always good for the glamor look. Instead, grab the right accessories to make your look even more glamorous. Jewellery, watches, bags or shoes also have a major impact on the overall effect. That's why it's important that you carefully prepare the outfit instead of throwing it together haphazardly. It is best to place the selected clothing items and accessories next to each other to see how well they fit together. Finally, decide how glamorous the makeup or hairstyle needs to be to complete the desired style. So never underestimate the power of detail when it comes to the "wow factor". For even more glamor you can work with the following accessories, for example:

Tip 10: Choose the right nail polish Many women always wear nail polish to prettify their hands. You can either apply it yourself or go to a nail salon to do it. If you wear open-toe shoes, your toenails must of course be well groomed. In everyday life, subtle colors or styles such as "French Nails" are often more suitable, as they go with all outfits. In addition, eye-catching nails are not always welcome in every job. For the glamor look, you can and should use extravagant nail polish. It can be bright tones like the red classic or glittering details - depending on your preference and of course to match the chosen outfit. With open shoes, also make sure that the toenails and fingernails match optically.

Tip 11: Jewelery for a stylish overall picture Shimmering accessories also round off the glamor outfit perfectly. Above all, jewelry ensures a stylish overall picture and can act as an eye-catcher if desired. Striking “statement pieces” are a popular choice for this. For many people, this also includes wristwatches. Because high-quality models with a metallic design are ideal for a glamorous outfit for both women and men. Even more than with other jewelry or clothing, connoisseurs pay attention to the brand. Big names like Rolex, Bulgari or Breitling stand for quality and prosperity. For that reason alone they are the perfect addition to your glamor look. It's the little details that make the difference. Because every brand has its typical design and its special functions that clearly set it apart from others. At Breitling, the winged B initial can be seen as a logo on every watch. Because the brand with its long tradition is best known for its pilot's watches, so it has always relied on functionality. A typical feature of a Bulgari watch is that the brand name is written using the Latin alphabet – with a V instead of a U. Some models have a more rounded triangular shape instead of the classic circular shape. Rolex watches are characterized by the five-pointed crown on the dial. The brand produces the world's first waterproof and dustproof watches.

Tip 12: Wear a statement belt For many men, belts are an essential part of an outfit, be it in everyday life or on special occasions. Women, on the other hand, like to use them as a "statement" to enhance the glamor look or to draw attention to the belt. It does not necessarily have to fulfill a function, but can be worn as a waist belt with a dress, for example. A belt with a large buckle also goes perfectly with the glam rock look to give the style the finishing touch. With a little know-how, you can use the right belt to make simple items of clothing appear more glamorous, for example with a glitter effect or integrated rivets.

Tip 13: Metallic shoes for more glam factor Shoes play a very special role in the lives of many women and men. They are seen as an expression of personality, but at the same time they are a commodity to get through everyday life comfortably. You should therefore also pay special attention to the shoes when it comes to the glamor look. On the one hand, they should be comfortable so that you can fully enjoy the celebration. On the other hand, they have to match the outfit and are welcome to become an “eye catcher”. You should therefore use special shoes, especially for a rather simple look, for example in the trendy metallic style. The light in the club, at the New Year's Eve party or wherever you wear them makes them really sparkle and gives the outfit the icing on the cake. Many women also like to wear heels to perfectly showcase their feminine silhouette.

Tip 14: A glamorous bag as an eye-catcher Finally, of course, the handbag should not be missing. After all, hardly any woman leaves the house without a bag for her smartphone, purse, toiletries and other things. In addition, more and more men rely on stylish bags to round off their outfit. Here, too, it applies that you can upgrade any discreet piece of clothing with a conspicuous bag. For example, choose the glitter handbag with a simple blouse or a model made of elegant crocodile leather with a plain shift dress and you have the perfect glamor look.

Style the hair glamorously

Finally, the right hairstyle is crucial. After all, your hairstyle has a huge impact on how other people perceive you. The following tips will help you to adapt your hair perfectly to the glamor look or to make it an eye-catcher yourself:

Tip 15: Provide a natural shine Open hair can look incredibly glamorous if it looks healthy and well-groomed. A beautiful shine is the be-all and end-all. You can achieve this with the right care on the one hand. This includes regular trimmings at the hairdresser, weekly hair treatments and a color refresher if you color your hair. You can also help out for a special occasion by using a special shine conditioner or working with home remedies such as apple cider vinegar. Sounds strange, but brings a wonderful shine to the hair. You don't have to worry about the smell, because it disappears after rinsing. Alternatively, there are special shine sprays that are applied like a hairspray and let the hair shine for a few hours.

Tip 16: Go for straight hair While curly hair often looks playful, girly or wild, straight hair is more glamorous. A perfect opportunity to grab the straightening iron and either wear your hair down or style it into a “sleek look”.

Tip 17: Choose a glamorous hairstyle There is no shortage of choices for such hairstyles. For example, a bun worn low in the nape of the neck with hair pulled back or a deep side parting looks very glamorous. But stars also like to wear the “wet look” on the red carpet. If you prefer waves, you can opt for elegant styles that are reminiscent of the 1930s. Large, voluminous and shiny curls, like those on the catwalks of the famous “Victoria's Secret” shows, are also popular. So you are sure to find a hairstyle to your taste that suits you and rounds off the glamor look perfectly.

Tip 18: Shine-shimmer spray for the final touch All that's missing is the final touch: if you've used glitter discreetly in your outfit and makeup, you're welcome to integrate it into your hairstyle as an eye-catcher. In addition to the shine sprays already mentioned, there are shine shimmer sprays that make your hair sparkle. Especially with simple hairstyles like the bun, you conjure up an additional "wow effect" in the styling and are guaranteed to look even more glamorous. As you can see, there are many ways to create the perfect glamor look. If you decide on some of the ideas and implement them in such a way that they create a coherent overall picture, you will certainly be the eye-catcher at every celebration. In addition, you can switch between different styles from glittering glamor to wild glam rock as you please - so your look will never be boring. Have fun creating and trying out!
