Jay Manuel’s Tips for Bringing Out Your Best This Valentine’s Day

Jay Manuel has some tips up for “bringing out your best for Valentine’s Day” and here they are:

Be yourself. This is not a makeover - this is about focusing on the quirks, curiosities and complexities that make you unique! Do a quick inventory on your life. What’s important to you? How you would like other people to see you? How do your friends see you? By identifying and reconnecting with the things that make you special, the inner you will shine.
Take a photo like a star. A few simple tips can help you take celebrity worthy photos! Lighting is key; try not to stand directly under harsh overheads. Instead, look for an open window and face it. Have a friend take a picture of you with the flash on and the combination of natural light with the camera flash will make you look flawless! Make sure you smile and try facing the camera at different angles — a head-on shot isn’t always best.
Work it. Valentine’s Day is a special holiday, but don’t go overboard. Wearing too much makeup or dressing in a ball gown or tuxedo when it isn’t appropriate feels forced and appears awkward. The key is to dress in a way that makes you feel comfortable and self-assured. If you still don’t know what to wear, try solid colors, and black always looks best. Knowing you are rocking what you are wearing always is a confidence booster, and confidence is sexy!
