Do you have a wedding party to attend? Or a night out with friends whom you have not seen for a while? No matter the occasion and you want to look thinner for this special event, well no worries. Here are 3 fashion tips that can make you look slimmer instantly. There is no need to diet or workout because, with just a few fashion tricks on how to choose the right flattering piece of clothing to wear, you will instantly feel and look great.

V-Neck Tops

For a slimmer neckline, wear a V-neck which draws attention to the chest instead of the neck. A V-neck top creates the illusion of a height and slims down a larger frame. For those with fuller arms, choose tops and shirts with three quarter sleeves.

Belts

We have been talking about wide-leg cropped denim since a few years back and they are definitely still a thing. Wide-legged pants are definitely back on trend this 2020 season, especially denim. Can someone like me wear wide-leg cropped denim?” That is the question that most women asked. The answer? Yes. Wide-leg cropped denim can totally work on every body type, as long as they make you feel your best when you wear them. They are flattering on most body types and can be more easily dressed up also. This style can be a very good choice of trousers for many women over 40.

One thing that all of these looks have in common is that the tops are either cropped or tucked in. A roomy top over a roomy bottom can make you look heavy and frumpy. The key is to highlight your middle by tucking in or semi-tucking in a top. This looks especially stylish when you roll or push up the sleeves. Check out the ways to style cropped wide-leg denim pants.

For women who have a big tummy, tucking in the t-shirt or shirt seems to emphasize the body shape in all the wrong places. Many are very sensitive about the extra weight around the mid-section. If you have been seeing fashion girls in their perfectly tucked tees and wish that you can do the same, well scroll ahead and find out some tips on how to do just that.

Front Tuck

– Gather a handful of your top’s hemline either at the center or on the side.
– Open a gap in your pants/shorts/skirt and push your top into it.
– Tug up gently on the tuck to loosen it until you achieve the desired look.

Full Tuck

Tuck your entire shirt into your pants/skirt and then pull it out about halfway.

The wrong silhouette may focus the attention on the small height. On the other hand, the correctly chosen wedding gown can make wonders and distract attention from the height. The key to finding the most complementary dress for petite brides is all in the details, especially four specific silhouette styles that help create a long and lean stature. Petite wedding dresses that create the illusion of a long torso are perfect.

It is important to take into account that a petite bride’s wedding gown must be narrow. Do not go for ball-gown dresses as you may just become invisible in the abundance of the skirts. The narrow silhouette suits even the brides with imperfect bodies as it visually adds height and highlights the merits of the body. This elegant lace mermaid gown is the perfect choice.

Look and Feel Younger With Makeup

barbara Leave a comment

We all know that age is just a number, but many women want their skin to look a little more fresh, dewy, and wrinkle-free. Here are some tips gathered from makeup artists, dermatologists and other experts on how to look and feel your best at any age.

1. LIGHTER LIPSTICK

Dark shades can be unflattering especially on mature skin because lips get thinner with age. It is best to choose rosy reds or flesh-colored shades. Do stay away from peaches and oranges, which can make teeth appear yellow. Do you know that wearing lipstick without other makeup can make you look older than if you wear no makeup at all?

2. BLUSH

To have an instant cheek lift, place your blush brush at the highest point of your cheekbone and apply color in a circular motion. Choose warm pinks, apricots, or bronzes since they create less contrast. We like this Sweet Peach Glow illuminating, blushing and bronzing palette that is infused with the juicy scent and skin-loving essence of peach to give your face a radiant natural peach glow.

3. LIFT YOUR EYES WITH PENCIL

If you have been using liquid eyeliner, maybe you may want to try a creamy and soft eyeliner pencil. The softness of a classic kohl or gel pencil enlarges the eyes more than liquid liners do. If you have droopy-looking eyelids, blend the liner up at the outer corners with a Q-tip or flat eyeliner brush.

4. GET THE RIGHT CONCEALER

Cover-up can be a tad tricky to apply. Some products may sink into crevices thus emphasizing every fine line. To get the most coverage with the least product, try “camouflage,” a dryer form of concealer that can take years off of your face. It does not contain as much oil as a regular concealer, therefore it would not move. Try Urban Decay Naked Concealer.

A bit of soft shimmer is flattering as you get older because it brings light to the face. A woman’s skin starts to lose its radiance when she hits her 30s. As such, a creamy neutral shadow, like champagne, pewter, or rose gold dab on the inner corners of the eyes can wake up the face. Try Jaclyn Hill Morphe Palette.

With the right tricks, turning back the clock can be as simple as opening your makeup bag. Hope you find these tips useful. Time to check out some high-quality wholesale makeup online to stock up.
