A Simple Beauty with Body Jewelry
While some women enjoy gaudy and flamboyant makeup and accessories, others of us prefer a more simple kind of beauty and choose to accentuate - rather than cover up and replace - our natural features with light makeup and jewelry for a radiantly fresh appearance.
One excellent example of this approach is the girl in this picture. With her warm skin tone and bare collar and neck line, she demonstrates the natural beauty of the human body. The green from the rose stem brings more life to the look and the single red rose itself complements the dark color of her hair.
The monroe and left nostril piercings she gracefully displays balance one another semi-symmetrically on her face and enhance her simple look by adding a bit of shine to it as well as drawing one's eyes in to her young, pretty face. With a breezy touch of makeup added to the mix, her look is brought to life even more and and the two piercings seated amidst it all are in ideal position to bring out the best of it!
This look is actually relatively easy for most people to achieve. For starters, go light in both color and amount on the makeup and accessories. Don't short change yourself though! There's nothing wrong with adding a little glimmer to your body or face to brighten up your look a little and accompany your makeup in really making you feel like a brand new, sparkling person! You'd be surprised on how dramatic of an effect a perfectly placed nose ring can have on a face. One important thing to consider when going for a fresh look and making your body jewelry selction, however, is to choose the color and size of your jewelry carefully. A lot of times less really is more and choosing the right color jewel on your piercing to coordinate with your skin tone can have a huge impact on your look.
Fortunately though, it's pretty easy to get right. Depending on your features and colors, some piercing spots and styles will look better on you than others. You can figure out what these are by playing around with different sized and shaped objects (ie: rhinestones, jump rings, etc) to get a feel for how a type of piercing in a particular place would look on you. Once you'd gotten your piercing(s) or at least figured out where you want it/them, the next step is to choose your jewelry!
