Is it possible to guess on Halloween. Halloween night is a borderline time that erases the boundaries between the earthly and other worlds

Do you remember the joke about the husband who looks at his wife, who is wearing a gas mask, and tries to guess: “Did you pluck your eyebrows”? Representatives of the stronger sex do not like to take care of themselves and, it seems, do not notice changes in the appearance of their halves at all. Or do we just think so? Maybe they, too, immediately see all the flaws of manicure, and unsuccessfully done hair removal, and disheveled hair? We decided to find out and asked the men what they think a well-groomed woman looks like, what details they notice. And how important it is for them that a woman is well-groomed.

“For some, a well-groomed woman is just neat, but for another, depilation is mandatory, manicure and pedicure by itself, and so on down the list. And so that the hair was styled - a hair to a hair, and a French manicure, dear. And so that such a woman would not only have chic clothes, but that the underwear should also be pleasant to look at and touch. I personally relate to such men: a woman should be a woman in everything. I would like to have a well-groomed companion next to you, which you are not ashamed to show to your mother and friends.
Eugene, 35 years old

“I think that a woman simply has to be well-groomed. The criteria for grooming are the same as the criteria for female beauty: clean skin, well-fitting clothes, well-groomed hands, hair, nails. Untidy nails are infuriating: peeling varnish, crooked shape, poorly extended, if at all extended, burrs. Clothing is untidy or inappropriate. Hairy armpits, hairy legs. Infuriates if there is facial hair. I don’t like it when the hair on the head is bad, for example, damaged, yellow, or bright red, almost red, even when the ends are very split and individual hairs stick out in different directions. But this is more common in women over 35, for some reason they are too lazy to take care of themselves.
Alexander, 26 years old

“A priori, a woman should be well-groomed, she was created by a woman. She is the best thing in the world. But some are too well-groomed. Well-groomedness should be mandatory, but in moderation.

They irritate from excessive care: heavily plucked eyebrows, when not eyebrows, but some hairs are left, bleached teeth, when their color resembles porcelain, looks unnatural, even children have a slight yellowness in the color of their teeth, hair extensions (outwardly nothing, but run your hand through your hair, and it seems that your head is covered with a scab). I like it when grooming is similar to naturalness. This is when you realize with your head that a girl is not naturally so well-groomed and beautiful, but it still seems that God created her so charming.
Andrey, 43 years old

“Men are pleased to deal with a well-groomed woman, it lifts them in their eyes - if such a woman is with me, then I deserve it. And for a woman, grooming gives self-confidence always and everywhere, she knows that she looks her best, is appropriately dressed, combed and made up and can not think momentarily about her appearance, leaving time to think about some more important things, according to the situation.
Alexey, 31 years old

“Of course, a well-groomed woman is very, very attractive! It can be disheveled, ruffled, made different, this is a very interesting and enjoyable process.
Ivan, 18 years old

“Grooming is the smoothness and cleanliness of the skin, moderation and appropriateness of cosmetics, clean hair, hairstyle, gentle hands, nails in perfect condition. And smell, smell is also important. For me, well-groomedness is associated with harmony and athletic form. And - the taste in clothes.
Vladislav, 34 years old

“I like grooming, but when it is in moderation, I like it when a woman has beautiful colour faces, well-groomed skin, but I really don’t like it when they get sunburned in solariums or smeared with self-tanning, or when there is a lot of foundation, powder, blush, and so on. Don't these girls really understand that such "grooming" is striking with its unnaturalness and repels.
Valery, 24 years old

“Grooming is beauty. When it’s nice to look at a woman, it means well-groomed, and everything in moderation, without frills.
Vladimir, 26 years old

“For me, a well-groomed woman is cleanliness in clothes and a little chic in everything, in small things: in a brooch, for example, or even cufflinks.

If the makeup is not putty, but an eye-catching male look. If the smell of perfume, then barely perceptible, such a light charm in everything. Well, for example, a manicure: it’s better to have a good, unpretentious and discreet manicure than an expensive one with drawings and rhinestones, but at the same time shabby. And do not say that these are overstated or difficult to fulfill requirements.
Sergey, 27 years old

“A real well-groomed woman unobtrusively catches the eye and remains in memory for a while, forcing you to spend comparative analysis with others".
Andrey, 38 years old

"A well-groomed woman - well rested and without quirks."
Roman, 29 years old

“For me, the first criterion for a well-groomed woman is her hands. First of all, I pay attention to the hands. The face can be from sleep and the lady is unwell, the clothes can be casual, for example, just from barbecue, and the hands of the hostess are given out. Not only grooming is important, but also signs of taste in clothes, makeup, manicure and hair color.
Sergey, 35 years old

“For me, grooming is something ephemeral and should correspond to my momentary mood. But in in general terms a well-groomed woman is clean, neat, athletic, elegant, something like that.
Anton, 21 years old

“Well-groomed means neat, clean, tastefully dressed and made up, but not made up. Well-groomedness is needed for the woman herself, and not for men! It's my opinion! When a woman realizes that she looks good, that she has the perfect manicure, pedicure, good hair, she exudes confidence, which in turn attracts men so much. As they say, you may not be beautiful, but you must be with a washed head.
Valentin, 49 years old

“For me, so grooming in the first place is appearance, figure. And the criteria are: clean hair, clean skin, clean nails, clean shoes, clean clothes. It's minimum.

Generally on well-groomed woman you look, and even the question of grooming does not come to mind. She's all shiny and radiant."
Nikolai, 31 years old

“A well-groomed woman is dressed with a needle, all the elements of her clothes are tastefully selected and perfectly combined with each other, her hair is clean, styled, her makeup is discreet, but emphasizes her natural beauty, she smells pleasantly - the smell is subtle, but sensitive - you want to get closer To her".
Grigory, 28 years old

“First of all, grooming is a figure, style, charm, haircut, manicure, makeup.”
Dmitry, 27 years old

“Groomed means taking care of yourself. And these are: hairstyle, manicure, pedicure, well-groomed skin, good discreet makeup, stylish neat clothes. But more importantly, they take care of those they love. If a woman is well-groomed, it means that she loves herself very much, and she does the right thing, because if you do not love yourself, then others will not love you.
Timofey, 22 years old

Femininity is not just skirts, dresses. You can’t do without a pleasant smile, a plume of aroma and a well-groomed appearance. And what is a well-groomed woman and is it available to us, ordinary ladies without a wealthy husband? Undoubtedly. A well-groomed woman is not one who spends a lot of money on beauty salons, massages and plastic surgeons. It is enough to follow a few simple rules to always look “perfect”.

Absolutely everyone is faced with ladies, to put it mildly, sloppy. There is a type of charmers who believe that self-care is expensive, requires huge investments in cosmetics, clothes, and brushes aside reasonable advice.

The priorities are different, it is important for someone to be a good mother, someone cannot imagine themselves without a dacha and a huge harvest, and for some it is completely unimportant to look good - they care inner world, spiritual development. But all this can be combined. A stunning-looking grandmother and a beautiful summer resident are not nonsense, but only 1 hour a day devoted to self-care. So, we will do without salon procedures and spend quite a bit of time and money on ourselves.

Head

Clean hair is key. High-quality shampoo is inexpensive, as well as modern means for touching up gray hair. You can dye both the entire length of the hair and the roots. The lesson is infrequent, once every 1.5-2 months you can afford to buy paint and do the procedure at home. Look through the assortment, many types of professional coloring products cost no more than popular paints, but they last for a long time.

Don't like to paint over silver strands, keep them clean, that will be enough. Remove sloppy ponytails, uneven bangs and overgrown strands from the arsenal, learn how to make an elegant bun, a “bump” is half the battle.

Manicure

And here the obligatory salon moisturisers, coatings, and possibly the correction of the shape of the nail immediately come to mind. By no means, you can put your hands in order at home. Procedures take very little time:

clean the dirt from under the nails;
trim the length of the nail plates on both hands;
moisturize the skin.

Clean nails of the same length are nice and beautiful. You can make an unedged manicure, pick up an affordable hand cream, well-groomed fingers will not force you to hide your palms in your pockets.

Advice! If you often have to work in the garden, do other work, a little trick will help to avoid the accumulation of dirt under the nails: run your fingers over a bar of soap so that a soapy layer forms under the nails. We did the work, washed our hands, along with the soap the dirt from under the nail plate will go away and you can do without a brush.

Another topic that is painful for many women. Groomed toenails look depressing in sandals, even if the hair and hands are in perfect order. Remove peeling varnish, cut and file nails, clean out dirt - a procedure that takes no more than 10 minutes with a daily shower. As for the heels, then you have to work with a pumice stone, use a greasy cream and paraffin masks. The price of funds is from 35 rubles, it is not very expensive for any budget. But in the end, the charmer will be able to be proud of her chic legs and, without hesitation, put on elegant sandals, open clogs, and not hide the disgrace on her feet under thick slippers.

It is difficult to meet a woman who would not strive to look well-groomed, but at the same time, each person may perceive this concept differently. To add up the big picture, it was decided to appeal to men using surveys. As a result, it was possible to establish signs of a groomed woman through the eyes of a man. It has been proven that even an expensive salon image can be spoiled by seemingly insignificant details at first glance.

Groomed women - what signs give them away?

According to the research, it was possible to establish that men, looking at women, pay attention not only to the figure, but also to other details of her image.

5 signs of an untidy woman:

For many representatives of the strong half of humanity, it is the hair that is the favorite part of the female image, therefore regrown roots and split ends are unacceptable. We hope that we can not talk about dirty hair.
Repulsive is excessive vegetation on the body. This applies primarily to the face, because women have never been in trend. Many girls do not remove their hair from their legs in winter, which can lead to embarrassing situations.
Men also pay attention to their hands, on which the skin should be smooth and in no case flaky. A sign of a neglected and cheap woman is peeled varnish, broken nails and burrs. It is difficult to find a man who would want to kiss such female hands.
Particular attention should be paid to the face. The skin must certainly be smooth, without rashes, and other problems. Men say that it is unpleasant for them to stroke a woman's face and feel not soft skin, but something similar to sandpaper. Makeup should be appropriate, without any overkill.
Another one important detail which makes female image groomed - chapped lips that you can’t hide even with beautiful lipstick.

A classic, yes. An untidy head starts with regrown roots, whether they are light or dark - it doesn’t matter ... If you have already decided to dye your hair in a color that is very different from your natural one, be prepared to make sure that you regularly update the coloring. Otherwise, it’s better not to risk it, but simply return to your natural shade!

Split ends of hair

Believe me, the length of your hair, even if you've been trying to grow it out for several years now, is not worth walking around with frizzy split ends. It looks very unkempt - as if you had not been to the hairdresser for a hundred years. What is the problem?

Peeled varnish

Remember, it’s better to have no manicure at all, just natural nails without varnish, than this horror - peeled nails! This rule applies in particular bright colors- peeling red or burgundy varnish can ruin any most luxurious look. So be careful and wash your polish on time!

Overgrown cuticle and burrs

Hands most often give us away, and if peeling varnish can be dealt with in a jiffy, it will take a little more time to remove the overgrown cuticle and burrs. It would seem, what a trifle! Well, who is looking at this?

In fact, the big picture is formed from the little things - believe me, even such a detail as an untreated cuticle can ruin everything, no matter how wonderful you are dressed. Train yourself to constantly monitor this: the growth of the cuticle can be permanently suspended if you devote literally two minutes to your hands every day.

Problem skin

Rashes on the face and black dots, of course, are not a sign that you are not looking after yourself - sometimes it is very difficult to get rid of these problems. But, alas, you can’t give up in the fight for clear skin, because this is one of the main conditions for a well-groomed appearance. No, even the most professional makeup looks as good as just clean skin, so watch what you eat, how you take care of your face, and eliminate the non-obvious causes of acne.

yellow teeth

Sorry for being candid. No, really, do something about it! A yellowish smile has not painted anyone yet. Coffee, tea and cigarettes are the main enemies of white teeth. And if you don’t have the strength to give up these habits, then do whitening regularly - the procedure is far from being as dangerous for your teeth as some people think.

Makeup, "well-worn"

Yes, yes, we all understand that the day was long and difficult, but this does not mean that you need to walk around with mascara crumbling under your eyes and a smeared pencil. Getting rid of this sign of unkemptness is very simple - you need to use a makeup primer and carry matting wipes with you in order to quickly correct the situation in which case.

Dry and dehydrated skin

Our skin needs constant hydration, not only because dry skin ages faster and is prone to wrinkles, but also for the simple reason that flaking and dryness look very untidy. This, by the way, applies not only to the skin of the face, but also to the hands - what could be worse than when they are weathered? Therefore, do not forget to moisturize your skin according to all the rules - after all, we do not live in the Mediterranean climate, so you will have to follow this!

unkempt eyebrows

Now natural wide eyebrows are in fashion, but this does not mean that you can let everything take its course, they say, let them grow ... Pay attention, even for models who wear very wide expressive eyebrows, the line itself looks perfectly even. Eyebrows need to be plucked regularly, keeping their shape, otherwise the “newly arrived” hairs will completely ruin your appearance. Once every 2-3 days, do not forget to take the tweezers and remove the excess.

Chapped lips

Lip balm is a thing that should always be with you. Many of us are faced with the problem of chapped and dry lips - in this situation, even the use of lipstick seems impossible. And it looks like you're 16 and kissed for half an hour in the cold! It's cute, of course, but it doesn't smell like care here. Keep your lips soft and moisturized: exfoliate dead cells and use a balm or oil.

You can have an entire wardrobe full of branded items or tons of luxury cosmetics. But if you do not pay attention to these small details, then all your efforts to look attractive will come to naught.

Like an old picture

Remember the coating in old paintings: the varnish is cracked and many lines crawl along the canvas, forming a cobweb. And, it would seem, you seem to be looking at a fashionable and well-groomed woman, but the old picture is remembered. The reason for this is her lips. Dear ladies, do not run your lips to a chapped and chapped state.

Too long and contrasting

They appear as if suddenly, catching the most inopportune moment. But it is impossible to notice them - regrown roots. Sometimes a black stripe down the middle of a luxurious blonde can ruin the whole look.

"Washcloth" and nasty tips

And back to the hair again. The hair of a well-groomed girl should never be dull, too dry or oily at the roots. Even banal split ends can make your hairstyle not in the best light.

Nails like a kindergartner

Hands are that part female body which will always be in the public eye. Bitten nails, protruding burrs or varnish that has fallen off in places - there are many options, but all these things spoil the look of a woman.

With such a manicure, others will think that the girl does not want to take care of herself.

Sneaky "cactus"

AT last years women have become more indifferent to epilation, allowing themselves to appear "fluffy". In addition, even stars like to show off their unshaven armpits and legs, noting that beauty is in naturalness.

However, you must agree, hairy female legs no one has yet added attractiveness, despite the hyped trend.

Rough and cracked

"Spider legs" and children's daub

Of course, thick and voluminous eyelashes do not harm anyone. But do not overdo it with mascara and do not miss the moment when you need to stop. Otherwise, your cilia will resemble the legs of a spider. Another issue is casually tinted lips. The lack of skill in applying makeup always gives out a greasy contour and spread lipstick.

Let's refer to this point and smearing with a foundation of our shortcomings. Which, frankly, only become more noticeable from this.
