10 Beauty Rules You Should Break
The traditional advice is that you should always pair a smoky eye with a nude lip, and pair a statement-making lipstick with understated eye makeup. But unless your idea of a "smoky eye" is three pounds of thick charcoal shadow (in which case you might want to take it easy in general), there's no reason you can't have both. Frankly, to focus only on one feature tends to make the rest of the face look a little unfinished. There's nothing wrong with dramatic dark eyeliner and look-at-me-red lips inhabiting the same face during a night out on the town.
There are all kinds of beauty "rules" that women are taught to follow, dictating everything from where we should apply perfume to exactly how much shimmer is acceptable, depending on age. (Is there a mathematical algorithm for that?) What will happen if break one of these rules? Will there be mass chaos and rioting in the streets? Hardly. The worst-case scenario is that you don't like the result, in which case you simply don't do it again. But you just might discover that you love the way you look! These "rules" are ready to be broken for good.
