April Beauty Tips

To make your legs look longer, wear shoes that match your skin color or hosiery.

To appear slimmer, wear a monochrome outfit with a matching narrow belt. Putting high contrasting colors top and bottom or wearing a wide belt tends to cut you in half visually.

Choose skirts that are longer than they are wide to create a more vertical appearance.

If you choose to wear a jacket or shirt over your outfit, leave it unbuttoned to create a stronger vertical impression.

Wear a hat with good circulation to protect your hair from the sun’s rays during the summer months.

Keeping hair shorter in the summer makes it easier to keep healthy. If you have long hair, wear it up to protect the ends from becoming brittle.

Avoid using alcohol-based hair sprays in the summer as it can dry out your hair and cause damage.

Use protective sun screen on your hair if you plan to be in the sun for an extended length of time or if wearing a hat is not feasible.

Use a moisturizing shampoo and a light leave-in conditioner during the summer to protect your hair from the heat and humidity.

Clothes that fit right flatter your silhouette and the contour of your body.

Choose clothing that creates an unbroken visual line as this will give you a longer looking body line.

Clothing should not hide the outline of your body, it should accentuate it.

A general fit guide is clothing that does not cling, bulge, crease or pull from any angle - front, sides and back. Clothing should follow your natural outline and move gracefully with you.

When trying on clothing - sit, stand and walk to make sure it has a natural fit and pay attention to the bust, hips and back areas to assure a proper fit.

Choose clothing that accentuates your assets and diminishes the areas you don’t want to emphasize. You are uniquely you so express yourself with clothing that shows you at your own best style.

Clothing that complements your skin color and brings out your natural tones will be much more flattering than wearing this season’s trends.
