Should You Be a Blonde, Brunette, or Redhead?
Posted by: | CommentsOne of the best parts of being a girl is experimenting with your look – and that includes hair color! Changing your hair color or trying a new wig is the fastest way to transform your image.
So should your femme self be a blonde, brunette, or redhead? It all depends on the image you want to project. Here’s what each color says about you:
Blonde
Blonde is the most feminine hair color. It’s a fun, lively shade that attracts a lot of attention. Blondes are seen as bubbly, youthful, and approachable.
I think every woman should go blonde at least once in her life, but it’s crucial to choose the right shade. Brassy blonde looks tacky, while a shade that’s too light makes you look washed out.
Brunette
Brunettes are perceived as intelligent, sophisticated, and seductive. Go brunette if you want to show off your mysterious side. 51% of men prefer brunettes, so it’s a color that will also get you noticed.
Just be sure to choose the right shade. Going too dark can drain the color from your face.
Redhead
Only 3% of the population is redheaded, so red hair makes you stand out. Redheads are known for having fiery personalities. The stereotype is that redheads are sexpots and femme fatales.
Red is flattering shade that brings color to your face. Red ranges from strawberry blonde to bright red to deep auburn. Your best shade depends on your skin tone and eye color.

Loading ...6 Ways to Hide Your Adam’s Apple
Posted by: | CommentsI always say it’s the “subtle” things that give a girl away. That’s definitely true of an Adam’s Apple! This is one detail that can ruin your entire look.
Fortunately, there are some easy fixes that don’t require surgery. Here are my top 6 ways to hide your Adam’s Apple:
1. Tie on a scarf.
Every TG woman should have a wardrobe of beautiful scarves. Tying a scarf around your neck not only hides an Adam’s Apple, it adds a flattering pop of color to your face. Problem solved!
2. Apply contouring makeup.
Dust blush or contouring powder 1-2 shades darker than your natural skin tone over the protruding area. Dark colors make an area look smaller, so this visually reduces the size of your Adam’s Apple.
3. Wear high collared tops.
High collared tops are great for hiding the side view of an Adam’s Apple. Look for a shirt with a ruffled collar for a soft, feminine look.
4. Try a choker.
Wearing a choker on top of your Adam’s Apple is a foolproof way to hide it – but only if you have a thin neck. Chokers make a thick neck look even thicker.
5. Wear a turtleneck.
What could be easier than covering your Adam’s Apple with a turtleneck? Turtlenecks work, but they also spotlight a square jaw or prominent chin. Avoid them if this is you.
6. Choose the right wig.
Long hair that curls around the neck makes an Adam’s Apple less visible from the side. Use contouring powder to tone down the front view of your Adam’s Apple and you’re good to go!
What are YOUR best tricks for disguising an Adam’s Apple? Let me know in the comments section below!

The Top 3 Beard Concealers
Posted by: | CommentsOf all the beauty flaws out there, nothing is as bad as having a visible beard shadow!
Your best bet is to get rid of your beard through laser hair removal or electrolysis. If you can’t do that you’ll need a close shave and a good concealer.
There are a lot of options out there, but here are the top 3 beard concealers I recommend:
1. Dermablend Cover Crème
The “mother” of all beard covers and a TG favorite, Dermablend Cover Crème ($32) is heavy enough to cover scars, tattoos, bruises, and beard shadows. On the down side, it’s very thick and can look cakey. Dermablend is best for evenings or low light situations when you can get away with heavy makeup.
2. MAC Full Coverage Foundation
MAC Full Coverage Foundation ($26) is another TG favorite. It’s a cake foundation that offers great coverage and is used by pros for beauty photography. The MAC foundation is lighter than Dermablend, so it looks more natural.
Note: MAC Full Coverage Foundation is only available in MAC Pro stores or by calling 1-800-866-6464 to order.
3. Colortration
Colortration Super Concealing Liquid Makeup ($37) is another great option for covering your beard shadow. In fact, many girls swear by it. Colortration is a highly concentrated liquid concealer, so it goes on smoother and looks more natural than crème covers.
Your best bet is to order Colortration’s six color trial kit ($17) so you can find your best shade. Order online or by calling 1-888-350-4505.
No matter which concealer you use, keep these two things in mind:
- Pat (don’t rub!) the concealer on.
- Apply powder between concealer layers.
