I always get a ton of emails from ladies that want to know how they can look good, but remain on their budget. After all, makeup, clothes and beauty supplies can be very expensive. I’m certainly not going to argue with that, but there are definitely some ways that you can look good and still stay on your budget, you just have to employ the right strategy. It’s all about spending money on things that count and then saving money on the smaller things that people won’t even notice as much. For instance, you should spend money for that nice pair of jeans that fit just right, but you should save money when it comes to buying things like nail polish, because people won’t notice that as much.

Below, I’m going to go over some more tips that will help you look good and stay on budget.

Brighten Your Smile

Your teeth are something that a lot of people are going to notice, because when you talk to them they will see them. Also, you should show off your teeth in general, because I believe that you should always have a smile on your face. Keeping a smile on your face will boost confidence in you and those around you will notice it, as well.

So, how do you get white teeth if you don’t have $600 to spare at the dentist’s office? Well, you could always use Crest White Strips, because they work wonders. These strips do work and they can usually be purchased for less than $50. Granted, that’s still a decent little chunk of change, but the whitening effect does last for a good bit of time.

Go to a Tailor

One thing that is really noticeable is when a suit hasn’t been tailored. Now, this goes for both men and women. It doesn’t matter how expensive your suit is and it doesn’t matter how nice your tie is when you have a suit that’s not fitted to your body, which brings me to my next point.

Wear Clothes that Fit

It’s important that you wear clothes that are form-fitting. It never looks good when a woman wears a pair of jeans that are sagging in the butt or a shirt just hangs on them.

Compress What’s Underneath Your Clothes

A lot of people worry about the clothes they wear, but they don’t worry about what’s underneath those clothes. I suggest wearing some sort of compression clothes or something like Spanx. This tip goes for both men and women, because it makes everything look much smoother under your clothes.

Go to Your Local Beauty School for Haircuts

A haircut is something that is going to be one of the very first things people notice about you. I highly suggest getting your haircut regularly and you don’t have to go to an expensive salon to do it. Instead, you could go to your local beauty school and the students will often times cut your hair for anywhere between $10 and $20 and they’ll have a professional overseeing the job. I’ve had haircuts from students for only $10 that would easily cost $100 at a beauty salon.
