Carrie Underwood Advice on Getting Glamorous
Carrie Underwood has recently sat down with InStyle and gave some ‘expert’ advice on getting glamorous.
Here are some excerpts from the interview:
1. Always look the part
Most of the time I slap on some makeup in the morning so I don’t look bad if somebody snaps a picture. Very rarely do I go out without makeup.
2. Keep a food diary
I’m OCD like that. I count calories, fat and fiber–which is important in making you feel fuller faster–and protein, especially when I’m working out.
3. Don’t be a dairy queen
Cheese is ruining my life! I’m trying to talk myself into being lactose-intolerant. I mean, it’s basically moldy milk, and it doesn’t smell that great–but it’s so good!
4. Exercise your options
Always take an hour for yourself to go do something positive.
5. Don’t break the bank
I don’t buy expensive jewelry and fur coats and Escalades. I’ve never bought a car in my life. The car I have, a Ford Mustang convertible, is the one I won on Idol–I guess I need to go buy a new car after all!
6. Smell yummy
I don’t do smelly soaps or wear perfume, so lotion is kind of my perfume. My favorite body lotion is Benefit’s Maybe Baby. It’s got a little shimmer in it.
7. Be a girlie girl
With makeup I think it’s important for girls to play. I mix a lot. I’ll put on lip gloss and go, “That needs to shimmer.” So I’ll put something shimmery on top. Then I want it a little pinker, so I put pink on top. But it all comes together. I’m trying to lay off the black eyeliner, though–I love it a little too much.
8. Go with the flow
I tend to go after bigger, flowy tops or dresses. I know I’m doing myself a disservice, but I’d rather put on a muumuu and have people at least think there might be a skinny person underneath than put on something tight and have them think, Look at that gut!
9. Laugh at yourself
Usually I come up through the floor to get to the stage. I can’t stand up on the little platform or the audience will see me, so I’m squatting down with my rear end pressed up against the back of it. I just laugh because the audience thinks this is so glamorous–and here I am under the stage with these ropes and equipment, my butt pressed against plastic!
These are some fantastic points that Carrie gives! Every girl should take these to heart and use them in their lives daily!
