Looking Good

A stylish look perks you up and makes you feel good about yourself, so be careful about the underwear you choose.Your whole look can be ruined by the wrong bra or panty. Most of us at one time or another, take a good look in the mirror and wonder what in the world happened. Sometimes this can be remedied by getting the right fitting underwear and and a little makeup.

A poorly fitting bra makes you look older, thicker and less in proportion. The best way to get the right fit is with an in store fitter. Here are the guidelines to follow. The bra shouldn’t ride up in the back. If it does the bra is too big. The band should fit snugly under your breasts. That probably means the band should fit much tighter than the one you are wearing now. The band provides 90% of support. A size 10 top will generally require a size 34 bra and, a 12 to 14 top generally requires a size 36. If you are fuller breasted go on to the larger sizes.

Don’t tighten the straps too much, but if they fall off the shoulders they are too lose. Straps that dig into your shoulders are too tight. Buy a bra that fits when it hooks to the loosest, not the tightest row because bras stretch over time and, if it’s too loose it won’t fit. You want to leave a way to tighten it up over several months.

Breast feeding, weight changes and aging can leave breasts less firm, but the right bra can keep you looking good. What you want is a contour bra. They have stiffer foam like cups that lend shape and support. They aren’t padded but they give you a firm contoured look.

If you want to eliminate panty line and don’t like thongs, boy shorts or laser cut edges are almost undetectable. If you wear high rise panties don’t wear low rise pants. Let your underwear mirror the shape of your clothing.

Shaping products smooth away bulges and keep you from walking around jiggling. They are more stylish and comfortable than girdles. A high waisted power panty slims your midriff, thighs, tummy and butt.

You can get a polished look with just three products. Tinted moisturizer is the most important one, it evens out skin tone. Choose one with sunblock and dab a little extra on dark circles and blemishes. Swipe on lip gloss to make lips look full and healthy. Finish with brown mascara and you’re done. If you want a little something extra apply a light dusting of apricot or peachy blush.

If you have a few hints of gray along the scalp or stray hairs, disguise it with a little brown or black mascara. Don’t have time for styling? Pull it back in a pony tail and grab a simple barrette that will blend into your hair. Now, go on out there and have a good time.

    Great advice! I personally get tired of seeing women walk around in bras that let their breast sag down to their stomachs and too tight underwear that make for a tell-tale line.

    Ruby What a great artilce…straightforward, informative, and to the point…although I like just a touch of soft beige eyeshadow and I wouldn’t be without eybrow pencil (no natural eyebrows that are easily visible). Now add the right clothes for the right occassion and your “success” all the way. Love the article.

    I like your advice about minimal make-up. At we age, the more we try to hide our flaws, the older we look. Thanks for the tips.
