Graduation Dresses

What colours go well on graduation? Do students need to concentrate on make-up or go with the subtle, fresh, natural look on graduation day?

Graduation day would require a student to be conservative in dressing and definitely conservative in their make up and look.

The best thing is to look natural-but it takes make-up to look natural

This infamous quote is by the master dresser- Calvin Klein, a master in the fashion world and a true connoisseur of the arts. Surely, he was referring to the adult bracket of ladies!

But for the very young or the teenage age segments, make up is not needed whatsoever. Skin, at that age is so fresh that make up , however natural looking the outcome is, will spoil the look most often than not, unless it is a hint of some light lip colour and a small dab of cheek stained blush or rouge that add to the glow of the skin for the graduation youngster!

Students must not concentrate on make up for graduation, instead if they feel strongly about putting on some make-up, they should adhere to the above tips and preferable, go without any make up. Just a scrubbed, clean look with the use of a good apricot scrub to the face or a suitable face wash and maybe a light sunscreen to prevent uva-uvb rays to skin! A good, fresh, subtle, natural and clean look with a graduation confidence is an unbeatable combination!

Clean, fresh looks are what adults aim at getting by applying make up and some resort to doing skin procedures like botox, laser, peels and more to achieve that young-un-wrinkled and fresh skin types that youngsters (teenagers and around those ages) have.

When so much money is being spent on establishing and achieving younger looking skin types, why should the young graduate girl not bank on this and go with no trace of make-up, with a superb minimalistic, natural look!

Teenagers and youngsters get inspired to grow up way too fast, this includes in-your-face make up that is done with no order to it, this makes the look of a teenager awkward and fake, defeating the purpose of being a young teenager. So all you youngsters reading this out there, follow subtle and fresh looks this season, especially those who are graduating anytime soon!
