10 different looks in 14 days: A makeup "idea book" by model Natasha Poly.

We’ve all felt we’ve fallen into a ‘slump’ of sorts. Well, if you think there’s no room for you to switch up your look on occasion, there most certainly is!

Here is the proof.

Glamour Magazine followed Model Natasha Poly all over the world from February 18, 2009 to March 2, 2009 with cameras and chronicled her many, many looks. She was one busy gal. If she can do it, a lesson can be learned here for the modern woman…with a little creativity and some new makeup, you can take it to another level.

You may not want to take it to the extremes Natasha Poly did, but this slideshow was just too good to pass up. Consider it a visual brainstorm. And if you decide to try to replicate one of these looks, don’t get discouraged! It’s all about practice, when doing dramatic effects.

It's always good to have an "idea book" or "scrap book" of makeup looks you can try to practice on yourself.

So, here's your first look at a makeup "idea book." Professional artists often have portfolios of different effects that can be achieved. They show them to clients, and - especially in the case of bridal parties - do a rehearsal makeup application session.

See if any of these looks inspire you to try something new?
