The shift dress has become a timeless silhouette.  A shift dress is a simple above the knee dress. This dress hangs loose from the shoulders with very little or no definition in the waist, cut straight or with a narrow A-line, thus   making it flattering for most body types.  Just add a belt to denote an hour glass silhouette.  This dress can be adapted to wear in any season. The simplicity of the shift dress makes it a very versatile piece, lending itself to a variety of accessories, embellishments and fabrics. The shift dress is a universally flattering and forgiving garment.  Every women should own a shift dress…..it’s so simple and chic.

Are you oil glands working overtime?  Trying to get rid of the shine, especially your T-zone area?  Try these quick fixes that help to prevent that shiny look:

 

 

 

Wash your face at least twice a day with a gentle alcohol free cleanser

 

 

Tone with an alcohol free toner ( This will help to balance the PH level of the skin)

 

 

Moisturize, yes, you need to moisturize too! Use a oil free moisturizer (This will help to calm down the oil production and remind the skin that it doe’s have to work as hard to produce oil) 

 

 

Use oil-free foundation

 

 

Use a mattifier (a lightweight formula dries to a natural, matte finish, instantly absorbing oil and controlling shine)

 

 

Powder blush helps to absorb oil

 

 

Use loose powder, it helps to set make-up and absorbs oil

 

 

Use blotting paper  or tissue paper to absorb oil

 

 

 

 

 

Note:  Having oily skin has it’s benefits, if taken care of properly, oily skin is prone to have less wrinkles

4 Ways To Camouflage The Belly Bulge

May 6, 2013 in Beautiful You~ by Tracey Evelyn, Fashion, Image with 4 Comments

 

Is your tummy a problem area for you?  Believe it or not there are ways to flatter your stomach through the use of proper clothes.

 

Here are a few helpful tips to camouflage the belly bulge:

1.  Wear gathered or ruched Tops.   The gathered detail gives style, makes the waist look slimmer and disguises imperfections.  No one will know if it’s the fabric or your  flesh that’s making a stylish statement.
2.  Wear wrap dresses and tops. They  create a more  defined waistline, enhance the bust size, slimming the waist and elongates your body.
3.   Wear short-waisted, fitted jackets. Look for fabrics with a little bit a stretch to enhance your curves and hide your tummy. The fitted jacket will nip in at your waistline and give the illusion of a smaller waist and tummy.
4.   The appropriate undergarments  give you a smoother and sleek final look. Shape-wear is a fabulous way to disguise your less perfect parts and create a gorgeous silhouette.  All you need to do to add smoothness is layer a lightweight tank underneath a clinging top.  Don’t forget the control top panty hose.
