Question: How do I stop being a tomboy?

Hi,
I am stuck in tomboy mode. I do not know how to make up my face. Never mind about my nails because I always bite my nails. I
need a make up artist or professional to teach me basic lessons with fees. I do not know where to find this kind of class or what
does it called. I am 5'8 1/2 with little overweight but still has curvy body . . . according to some I have good legs but I have
problem with walking style with my 12 size feet. I am black and deaf in 30s.
Thank you.

Answer:

There’s noting wrong with being a tomboy, but if you want to feel more girly, I can help.

The first thing we can do to get you out of tomboy mode is to be proud of your height. You are the height of models. Stand tall!
That means: do not slump.
1) Stand with your hips pulled back,
2) your backbone straight,
3) your chin out,
4) and your eyes facing front.

Your walk is the first thing most people see, so you should be comfortable. Wear comfortable shoes no matter your foot size
because that will make you comfortable when you walk. A comfortable walk tells people that you are comfortable about who you
are.

When you walk:
1) Do not pump your arms -- let them swing gently.
2) Take your time -- do not take long strides; take smaller steps then you're used to.
3) Do not lean forward when you are in a hurry -- leaning does not get you there faster.

Try my tips for 6 weeks, then find a make up artist to help you. I have found that the best way to find such help is to call a local
photographer who specializes in weddings and ask if they can recommend someone who specializes in bridal makeup. You
don’t want to go to a department store because those artists only use their own make up line of products and they may want to
sell you something that is not the best for you. A bridal makeup artist will use a variety of products and will offer better, unbiased
tips.

Good luck!
