1. BOOBY TRAP
A loose bra does nobody any favors in the frump department. A bra should be a perfect balance of tension and support to supply the breast with lift and stability. Look in the mirror. If you see droop, it is time for a fitting and a new bra. Head into a department or lingerie store and get measured. Flawless fit will give you the coveted pertness of celebs and models. It’s all about lift.
2. LIGHTEN UP!
Whatever your ethnicity, combining color corrector- a pink, peach, yellow or green hued cream-with concealer (should be slightly lighter than your skin tone) can reduce that purple/blue bruised look from under the eyes.
3. IN JEAN-IOUS
Unsexy and woefully out of step with the notion of proportion, “mom jeans” are atrocious on so many levels. Swap ill fitting jeans for a flattering modern pair of dark denim that jives with your body type. You will look more polished in a flash!
4. DETAIL THERAPY
Out of sight, out of mind. To remember to pop on a statement making bauble, hang your necklaces on tie racks affixed to the interior of your closet door. Accessories are what transforms mere garments into a look.
5. SEXY, SPORTY TEE SHIRTS
T-shirts are the cornerstone of a woman’s wardrobe. But a boxy, bulky crew neck Champion t-shirt does not hold a candle to the nonchalant sex appeal of a body skimming, open neck tee from, say, James Perse. Languidly casual, a slim, drapey t-shirt showcases décolletage and hugs the ribcage in a manner that flatters most body types.
6. FAUX FLOW
Mineral foundation is makeup manna for moms. With the flick of a brush wielding wrist, uneven skin is flawless-ified with a weightless powder that delivers a version of you, but airbrushed. It’s simple. Find the tone that matches your skin tone (available at every price point from Walgreens to Saks) Just brush it over your entire face and watch -as if by magic-as a healthier, visage emerges.
