One Size Fits All?

  A couple of nights ago I held a Syncere Soiree at my house and while I was preparing for it, I had a thought. I wasn't going to write about it at first but while I watched the Today show I felt that I needed to voice my opinion.
  The Today Show holds these ambush makeover shows where they pick two women out of the crowd and give them a total overhaul. It's a huge undertaking, clothes, hair and makeup in about an hour I think.  I understand the time crunch but this is the third time that I have watched it and both women end up with different hair color but the same cut just styled differently. Am I the only one that sees this? They usually are overworked with longer slightly gray hair or over processed blondes and they come out in their reveal with mid length Lisa Rinna styles and dresses. I want to see awesome layers or a sassy pixie, even a sleek bob. And how about a cute pair of jeans with a trendy top or some well fitted slacks? Just a little more variety in what's done would suffice.
  While I was preparing for the soiree on how to get the sun kissed look I read in one magazine to do a 'three' on each side of the face. Forehead, cheek and jaw. Another celebrity artist says put the bronzer on the areas of the face that would be touched by the sun, but in the next sentence they say to do a 'W'. Temple, cheek, bridge of the nose onto the other side of the face. I agree  with the thought of putting bronzer on the areas of the face that would  be hit by the sun. But, that means that every person should study their face and really asess where that would be on them as an individual. The three and the w are not going to be the way to go for everyone. Models, although different ethnicities, weights, skin types and heights, their face shapes are very similar. More angular and slender. However, the rest of us really vary in face shapes. Maybe the bridge of our nose is deeply inset and doesn't see the sun but the tip of our nose does. Maybe our brow bone protrudes a touch and is more exposed to the sun then the rest of our foreheads. This advice could also be the culprit of our throwing away good bronzer, or other products, because they don't 'work' for us.
  So let's make a pack to continue reading the good advice we receive, but to also know our individual 'mugs' and tailor, tailor, tailor. One size does not always fit all. Deal?
