As regular readers will have noticed, Beauty on a Budget has undergone a little makeover of its own, sporting a new look. Our new header, designed by Clive Allen, is so pretty I can’t help trying to accessorize. You may have noticed the last few posts contained products whose colors matched the header colors. Note the face of flawless beauty that both blends and yet captures attention and the deepening rose that perfectly offsets but does not compete.

And that’s really key to accessorizing, choosing the right style and color accessory to set off your outfit or hairstyle. Finding the perfect balance of accessories that create focal points without detracting or being overdone.

For instance, with hair swept up on the head, a pair of long, dangly earrings will soften the severity of tightly pulled back sides and at the same time, enhance the illusion of a long, slim neck.
