Dirty hair Cheap looking jewellery (or one that doesn't match your undertone)

[@mehitabel6564]

Excellent list! I have two tips: my nail polish often chips, so to avoid it looking bad, I just use clear or very natural coloured polish; Two: rather than eyelash extensions, I use an eyelash conditioner/serum. I'm 58, blonde with fine short lashes. For the last 3 months I've used an eyelash serum every night, and my lashes look longer, darker and fuller. I've had strangers compliment me on my long natural lashes. So I would try the conditioning option before going for extensions.

Met Dolly once, while waiting for the elevator, outside of our doc’s office, on the outskirts of Beverly Hills (not a plastic surgery doc, either, lol).. She told me I had the most beautiful alabaster skin, and quite a mysterious look (I had on a extra large black brimmed floppy hat, large black sunglasses, and an off the shoulder, long sleeve, black dress).. I told her it was all to protect said alabaster skin. It was a lovely, unexpected surprise. She was just as kind as she comes off as, in the media. And I must be doin’ something right.. 😅

[@BodyAndSol96]

Agree. If one dyes/bleaches their hair it should be maintained carefully to look good, if that's not possible then imo natural color is the best option. I also think many problems that can make your hair look frumpy could be solved by adding a leave-in conditioner suitable to your hair type to your routine.

Eventually my GP prescribed Effexor for hot flashes. It didn't do anything for my hot flashes, but after 6 weeks, I woke up one day and realized "my head doesnt hurt!" I quit taking effexor for two reasons: it made me hostile and aggressive, and then the pharmacy switched me to a generic form without my realizing it, and the generic form made me feel like I had bugs in my head. So I stopped. But the headaches have stayed few and far between, like only once every few years. I have Gabapentin to take now as needed.

The blood pressure is now normal with medication, and I have not had a single migraine, not a single headache, since February. It's now early October. This is pretty amazing for me since I could easily have at least one migraine per week.

Whenever I started to get one I'd have to immediately take medication and try to go to sleep before it really hit. So far, the only thing I was able to do that made a difference was getting a daith piercing in my left ear (the side the migraines always start on for me). I'm not cured or anything, but there has been a significant reduction in frequency and severity! Personally I think it's cute too, but if you don't like the look you could get a really small/delicate jewelry that wouldn't be noticeable.

Like you always said , the key is always discreet , discipline and consistent while maintaining quality. And that you always nails it! ❤❤

Pendulums swing, and I believe there is a shift happening where women are being encouraged to have natural makeup, unmarked bodies, etc. Likewise, young guys are being taught to perceive piercings/tattoos as red flags for wife material. Like it or not, every single sociological study on tattoo demographics in Western nations indicates that the less educated, mentally ill, single parents, people with risky lifestyles, etc. are more likely to have tattoos. Subconsciously, to others, a tattoo says "I have issues", or used to.

My main tip: * Decide which part of your outfit is the statement piece. You might have a perfect string of pearls. This means that your neck is the statement piece. Pick a neckline that goes well with the pearls: let this determine which dress or top you wear. Now, because you decided your necklace is the first place peoples' eyes land, you need to create a path for the eyes to follow. If the neckline naturally leads the eye down, wear a skirt or pants that flatter your legs, and end the path with your shoes. Don't wear highly embellished shoes, that would risk the shoes pulling more interest than the necklace. If the neckline naturally leads the eye up, make your face and hair flatter you. Start with your neck: make absolutely certain that your foundation matches with your skin and that you blend it out seamlessly. Then choose either lips or eyes to highlight, but not both. Make certain your eyeshadow and lip colour complement not only each other, but the necklace. And make sure your hairstyle doesn't impede the view of your statement necklace. * Use the same principle when you want to make something else your core piece of your outfit. If your hairstyle is your statement, gradually lead the eye downwards but without overtaking the beauty of your hairstyle.

Dear Anna, Thank you for giving me the courage to give away my t-shirts. I am thankful for what you taught me. It took me awhile to shift to this "level up" in appearance, and I have felt overwhelmed, that the reason why I kept buying t-shirts is because I didn't really grow in terms of decisions, tastes, etc.. and I didn't really care, and I was really lazy. I wasn't looking at the physical aspect, honestly. How it looks. It made me realize that all I do is buy clothes, wear clothes, etc.. -- without standards for myself, but most of all, without an element of myself. An element of yourself is knowing where you look good in, and t-shirts make me look like a balloon and a bat 🦇. It has also made me realize I would ignore the small things in life, that would help me get success. That how you present yourself, how you work with yourself externally, no matter how smart and competent you are, if you couldn't bring yourself into the social world with elegance and sophistication, it will not always work out. Thank you, Anna. I am grateful for seeing u!

Thank you for your work! A question: what would you say is the point at which we need to remove facial hair?

How can we differentiate between what looks natural but can still be acceptable, and what detracts from our presentation?

If you can see the hair, and you don't like it, remove it. If you can see it, everyone can!

[@BrythonicHounds]

@@catbishop206 But we are usually looking far closer than people we interact with, even using magnifying mirrors. Same thing with pores and other imperfections. Just because we can see it if we look as closely as possible doesn't mean someone else would ever notice. So some marker other than being able to see it with out face an inch from the mirror has to be possible.

[@elsie6828]

Only you can decide this. Also, electrolysis is the only permanent solution.

[@elsie6828]

​@BrythonicHounds I would say dark hairs have to go...peach fuzz is up to you and what level of maintenance or expense you want to handle. If you're comfortable looking natural, great. If you're going for "polished" gotta be a clean slate for the makeup application.

[@talktosummerofficial]

I'd say peach fuzz has to go, too, regardless of color. At some point, peach fuzz goes beyond being fuzz and is just a fair shade of layered hair on the face.

[@magiquealley]

Also, as much as I love this channel sometimes you reslly forget you are privileged and blessed to be able to take care of your teeth and do things to uplift your appearance. Some, come at a free cost but some doesn't. I have to choose between paying my car insurance to be able to drive to work, or pay thousands of dollars to go to the dentist. Obviously at home care is needed, but believe me is not easy to look all polished sometimes. I know people who naturally have yelloee teeth and impecable cleaning, and still would get criticized if they don't go for a professional whitening

[@melissamoonchild9216]

Facts

[@YurinanAcquiline]

Agreed. And yeah. Some people have naturally, very yellow teeth...

[@mariafernandacotrim]

I live in Brazil, a very common mistake I see here is not matching clothes and the weather. I see people wearing jeans and black shirts when it is 35 degrees outside, or short skirts when it's cold... I would love a video about elegant and not so short shorts to wear around town, I live far from the beach, so it's not okay to be dressed showing too much skin! Thank you Anna!

[@qendresashillova]

In summer I had a traditional food, and I did not know that I had a black stain on my teeth. And I had to go urgently somewhere,I had a beautiful dress on, my hair was done... and came to a point when I look myself in the mirror 😫 and see the black stain 😲 now that Anna mentioned it, IT HURTS ME TWICE 😂

[@barbarahJ.]

When I worked at Sephora and I had to do makeup for British women, I had a really bad time because their makeup was very heavy and fake and made them look like caricatures. If you put makeup on them in a subtle and elegant way, they didn't like it and they ended up applying the makeup themselves until they looked like clowns. I remember they used foundations 5 shades darker...terrible.

[@ceciliajohnson8812]

You are right about that! Some Beauty KZbinrs do that too, and it just looks like they don't 'get' makeup is meant to enhance, not mask.

[@vanessab.6682]

I remember one time I bought a perfume for my roommate. It looked cute. I didn't test it. She would wear it everyday but it did not smell good. I was so looking forward for the day to come, when she had no more. What happened next was she actually liked it and kept buying it, until eventually she did not. That was a tough one!

[@tessltaekook8501]

The same happened to me! She wasn't my room mate but a collegue/friend. I recieved a perfume as a "gift" from a company I buy my scincare from, and I hated it. I should have tossed it but I showed it to her. I said it smells awful on me but she said she liked it and kept using it. The thing is that everybody seems to like that perfume but me (and my daughter 17yo) and they keep asking me where I got it (after they smelled it on her)... I always tell I don't remember🤭 but every time I smell it on somebody I almost puke and have to get away from that person. I'm happy she didn't get a new bottle when it was finnished. She never figured out that you can read on the bottle who made it...

[@liubarotaru5892]

Thank you, Anna, for all your work and your efforts. Please continue, I and We have A LOT MORE to Learn from your work. Please keep it up. We need to know and see Women like you.

[@christineshannon7902]

Hi Anna, can you talk about tattoos? I had two and had one removed. Now I wish I had none, I wish I has untouched pretty skin... However, there are many people that may not have the money to have them removed or they have so many that it's not feasible, yet they want to be more elegant. What are your opinions on this? ❤❤❤

[@labornurse]

Where are they? They can often be concealed with some creativity.

[@juliabaczyk3279]

I can very much relate! I made my share of mistakes as an 18-20 year old jumping on some trends and getting my arms tattooed. I’m currently on my tattoo removal journey. Luckily they are fine line floral tattoos that can be definitely removed with some time and money. For now I’m enjoying the cold Scandinavian weather which means being able to hide my unwanted tattoos under long sleeves for 9/12 months in a year 😊 Acceptance and self-forgiveness are key, but in the mean time try to focus on other aspects of your levelling up journey and one day you’ll come out on the other side having learnt a big life lesson. I keep reminding myself that there many worse mistakes one can make in life and an unwanted tattoo is not as bad as you might think. Good luck!

[@Lucia.m321]

I have a big tattoo on my arm and now I wish I didn't have it, it just doesn't go with my style 😓 But probably I wouldn't remove it because it was my creative idea. Usually, I just wear longer sleeves to hide it and that's it 🤔

[@Kayyy8585]

I have A flower sleeve and as a classy woman, I still love it ! It gives me a tad bit of edge, but still is very feminine. If tattoos are done right, they can be amazing.

[@EbbaOm-fl7fy]

Well, to some people tattoos are just horrible no matter how feminine or how well done their ‘owner’ thinks their are! I don’t care if it’s a flower, your child’s birthday or some sacred heritage symbol, they all look nasty! But you people don’t care about others opinions, so I’m not worried about being offensive. I had a tattoo and got it removed a couple of years later and cannot be happier with my decision - although I can still see some tiny scars if I get a tan, but no shade of the tattoo! I was young and stupid when I got it, and have been hating tattoos ever since! I will support anyone into having the courage to admit that they hate tattoos (either their own tattoos or just in general). Somehow these days you are forced into having positive attitude towards tattoos because they happen to be personal and permanent on someone’s body, but I will fight that and stand up for myself and my hatred towards tattoos.

[@JuliaShalomJordan]

The scary part about tattoos is that many people can have an allergic reaction to dye…and they don’t figure it out until AFTER they’ve had work done. It’s so scary if you google eyebrow tattoo disasters. This is scary.🥴

[@bogantellectual]

Re perfume, it's super important to remember that you go super nose blind if you wear perfume regularly. I go through phases where I wear it a lot and can't for the life of me smell it on myself mere minutes after I've sprayed it, and am. tempted to spray some more. Then I'll not wear anything for a month or two, and the first time I wear it again, just one spritz and I realise how intense it is. Or often I'll compliment someone's perfume at night, and they'll be surprised I can still smell it because they just sprayed a little in the morning.

[@Anika99356]

We need more of this series

[@maria.s2926]

I don't mind overly decorated nails as much as super long nails that look like claws. Especially on the toes, I really can't stand extra long toe nails, decorated or not...

[@seemakazmi965]

I find a light smear of castor oil on the eyelashes helps with growth and tinting them is flattering.

[@oxanagamaley-xu6yx]

Thank you Anna for a informative video. I would add that powder from dry shampoo can be very visible on the hair sometimes and immediately kills the look.

[@eunicelopez8460]

Dry shampoo has to be worked through hair on or combed through. I usually apply it after a fresh blowdry because my hair ends up getting oily by end of day and it helps extend the blow out till next day max

[@jsi4064]

The fastest way to be classy, is to be mindful of what you say to, and about others. Classy is not a look, it's a lifestyle. 👌🌈🙏💐🎁😘

[@ceciliajohnson8812]

What a great comment!

[@Rickie7756]

My mom always said to spray perfume and then walk through the mist. I usually spray one light spritz on my chest/abdomen. You have to get within a couple of feet to smell it.

[@lidaahm8801]

Thank you Anna, to bring up perfume issue, strong scent perfume/body spray/hair spray/perfumed lotions is a nightmare for migraine & allergy sufferers ! Strong perfumes triggers migraine headache so easily, it takes just a few minutes, then ur allergy starts, sneezing & u can actually feel as if something burning inside ur nose, on a severe case u feel like throwing up and ur nose bleeds too ! I wish people get to know wat their strong perfume does to migraine & allergy sufferers . . . . . . being a little considerate, choosing a light scent perfume doesn't hurt anyone, more natural, light & bearable by all would be soooo nice ! some perfumes that triggers migraine & allergies are CK, Gucci and Versace!

[@alcudiababe1]

Sometimes I've wanted to go a little more aggressive in my makeup because I've wanted that look. Just because I wanted to appear like I'm not someone you can mess around

[@s.h.jacobs1960]

Don't do it (the harsh makeup that is). Instead just reply, "...I'm supremely uninterested" when people get on your nerves lol.

[@sabineheldt4505]

I think your examples and tips are really great. Because sometimes it's the small changes or reductions that make the style. I thank you!

[@shubhysen]

A lot of tattoos cheapen the appearance of a person✌🏻

[@reginamemoriesforever-vc8ql]

All.

[@sunflowerlove0101]

I second that.

[@anniema3738]

love this video. You're very elegant and thanks for your reminders to look elegant. It is so much work haha. But grooming yourself is giving love to yourself. So thumbs up for you!

[@marygillespie2028]

I tried on 2 different shoes before church yesterday to check which was more comfortable. Then I got busy and forgot to change 1 shoe, and attended church in mismatched shoes. Not a really good look, but thankfully more subtle than green stuff in your teeth!

[@ceciliajohnson8812]

Lol! 😄 Years ago, a woman I worked with walked into the office wearing one black shoe and one blue shoe. She didn't realise until she was in the office and we, plus some other colleagues, had a goodnatured laugh about it.

[@dawnf2z1]

Dear Anna, I salute your honesty and love you all the more for understanding us!

[@amycrowell3972]

I know Anna knows this, but it really says more about the person criticizing her lips than does her lips! It may not be a physical trait that cheapens their look…but their attitude!

[@jcmhanel1]

My niece is an esthetician but also had tattoos. I asked about tattooed eye brows. She was very firm about never going to a tattoo artist and directed me to a permanent cosmetic professional she met. I love my eye brows!!!

[@lucya8916]

I love reading the comments and listening to the video. Let's not forget that good manners, self-respect and being as well as building a good character will show your classiness. Also, know when to change your appearance for the event such as fun house parties, fancy dress etc

[@heatherwillis5505]

Anna, I wonder if you've ever spoken on a situation similar to mine or if you have any advice. I grew up very, very, very low income, in a very rough environment. I was covered in horribly done tattoos before I even hit my 18th birthday. A couple decades later, I've managed to end the cycle that my family has been stuck in for generations. I wear long sleeves and pants almost daily to hide my tattoos. If even one shows, I feel so unattractive and trashy. I live in Houston, so pants and sleeves are not always ideal. How can someone like me where short sleeves or dresses and feel attractive when we cannot undo what we've done to ourselves? Removal isn't an option because I'm not exaggerating when I say that I am covered. Thanks!

[@scy77a]

Maybe get them covered with more beautiful artwork? You can still look classy and elegant with tattoos, as long as they are beautiful works of art! That's how I've always felt anyway ❤️ I dress in a more vintage-inspired style, and although I only have one tattoo on my wrist, I aspire to have more art done as they would be covering scars and would greatly help me with my confidence as well! 😊 I highly recommend trying to find style influencers or pictures of women with the style you like, or close to it, who happen to have tattoos.

[@myunhelpfulcomment]

There is body makeup to cover tattoos. It’s something you could look into especially if you want to wear a pretty dress for a special occasion. I don’t know how effective it is or how it would fare in humid climates like in Houston. Just search for body makeup on the internet. GB

[@francesdibartolomeo7219]

thankyouy Anna, your videos are so great, i have been levelling up for a while and realized early on when I began to see yoyr videos that I was organically improving my style and elegance , it must be said that a block to lookiny your best was about fear and negative beliefs from a hurtful history, when you change those beliefs you can look your best.

[@tennilledebysingh5819]

Oh wow, nasty comments are uncouth. I am for surgery as well, but it's rude to publicly point out, accuse or criticize people of this. Never on a public forum. I personally know a plastic surgeon who has overdone her own face, but I would never, ever call her out publicly for this. Plus, procedures are more socially acceptable, and the bad or botched procedures are becoming less and less.

[@crocodileranger8404]

I def. agree with the perfume one. There are two people at my gym who wear too much perfume. I don't even need to see them bc I can smell them through the whole gym 😂

[@j.c.4120]

My mother had beautiful full lips. Long before lip plumping was a thing. She was teased also. I always wondered why I didn’t inherit those beautiful lips. Agree with your list. Especially the lip and brow tattoos.

[@luisapapa]

My dear ladies, as Anna often says, simplicity is the key to look polished and put together. And goes by the age; when we grow older we need to remove things from our makeup, wardrobe, beauty routine etc.

[@karikasumi888]

F those haters Anna! You're beautiful! 💜 And inspiring. ✨

[@s.h.jacobs1960]

Anna, you're in a league of your own and your full lips are stunning. No straight man would complain, lol. People who aim to tear you down are simply insecure. Keep thriving Lady Anna. Let them see you soar 🙂!

[@joanneryder7470]

Anna, I just want to let you know that I think your lips are positively beautiful! I happen to also have larger lips and remember someone making fun of me when I was a little girl. It wasn't until I was older that I realized it was jealousy! I love that you are teaching women to embrace their inner beauty. God bless you sweetie! ❤🥰

[@jerryglover1709]

I so agree with the perfume.

[@jesusyourkingdomecome3434]

I can honestly say that your lips look great. Remember Angelina Jolie got also bullied for her lips, now everyone envies her for them. No one has a 100% symetrical face shape, so lips can look uneven. Never mind. I think your lips look beautiful.

[@tessltaekook8501]

I've never liked Angelina Jolie's lips. So not everybody...

[@jesusyourkingdomecome3434]

​@@tessltaekook8501 Ok, you don't. But i like them on both. Angelina's and Anna's.
