How to Buy Shoes According to Your Body Shape?

14 Replies

Hello everyone!

Shoes are the most integral part of your appearance; it is also a necessary part. There are many types of shoes like wedges, pump shoes, flats, sandals, pencil heels etc. And no matter how appealing and perfect one’s figure is, not all types of shoes look perfect on her. Just like cutting your hair according to your face shape or choosing lip colors according to your skin tone, we should also buy shoes according to our body shape. For that, we must know our body types. Here are examples of body types explained.

Petite and Thin Body ~ Girls with short height and skinny body. If your legs are thin and short, then you fall in this category.
Petite and Thick Body ~ Girls with short height and healthy body.
Tall and Thin Body ~ Tall girls with slim figure.
Tall and Muscular Body ~ Tall girls with muscular body.
Medium ~ Normal height with slim figure.
Medium and Thick Body ~ Normal height with healthy body.

Now, according to these body types which type of shoes will suit is explained here:

1. Shoes for Petite and Thin Body:

For, this type of body, wedges, platform and heels without straps are very preferable. If wearing short skirts or knee length dress, can also wear ballerina flat shoes. Always buy shoes without straps and pointy toes. No straps will give a smooth line look from heel to the knee which will apparently make your legs appear longer. And round toes will give a volume to the look. You can also wear peep toe shoes.

2. Shoes for Petite and Thick Body:

Heels will be best for this body type. To conceal your short and thick legs, bright color heels will be perfect. Wear fashionable prints shoes, even just-below-the-knee length boots, wedges and platform heels. But, never wear gladiator shoes or flat shoes as they will reveal your thick legs.

3. Shoes for Tall and Thin Body: Tall girls also want to wear heel, and they should also. If you are tall and thin, then ballerina and gladiator flats will work the best, since you got the height already. Also, heels with straps and medium height boots will look very flattering. But, never wear pointy shoes, the will make you appear more skinny and tall. Also, wide heels and platform heels will look odd on your body.

4. Shoes for Tall and Muscular Body: Wedge heels, stilettos and even pointy shoes will look very attractive on your body type. But never wear ballerina or other flats; they will make your appearance looks blunt. Small boots will also look good in this body type.

5. Shoes for Medium Body: If you are blessed with perfect height and perfect slim body then you should not worry about your shoes selection. From wedges to stilettos to flats, all types of shoes will look good on you.

6. Shoes for Medium and Thick body: If you have good height and gained some weight on your body, don’t worry there are many types of shoes that will look flattering on you. Such as, wedges, heels, stilettos. Do not wear ballerina or other flats; they will make you look thicker.

So, figure out why you looked the other day little bit different and put those shoes aside that are not suitable for your body type. Enhance your beauty and assets with the right pair of shoes. And if you want to save your time of searching, buy Stilettos. This is one single type of shoe that will look fabulous with every dress and on all body types.

How to Lighten Dark Elbow, Knee and Armpit Skin at Home?

9 Replies

Hello everyone!

Most of us have more or less dark elbow, knee and armpit skin. Some are very lucky in this matter, but, for those who are not, it becomes an embarrassing episode when it comes to reveal these areas. There are many ways to lighten those dark skin areas over a period of time. These areas are little bit drier than the other parts of our body.

Resting our elbows on the armrest of our chairs or kneeling down on our knees or using too much body spray directly on the skin; we do this daily without our conscience and this affects a lot to our skin and makes them darker than other body parts.

To Lighten Dark Skin Areas:

These areas need some special care in order to make them appear lighter in tone than they are. Here are some remedies that will help you in this matter.

Exfoliation: This is the best way to remove dead cells from your skin. Gently exfoliate your elbow, knee and armpit area while you are taking bath with a loofah and your favorite body washes. You can also use body scrubs on these areas 3-4 times a week.

Moisturizing: After every bath, do not forget to apply moisturizer on these areas. Use shea butter or cocoa butter moisturizer for better results as these are deep moisturizer. If you have dry skin, use olive oil for deep moisturizing.

Homemade Packs:

Baking soda: Mix one tablespoon baking powder with one cup water and apply this solution 3-4 times a day on these areas. This will help lighten the areas faster.

Potato: Cut a potato slice and rub it on the areas that you want to lighten. Like baking soda, potato is also a bleaching agent.

Honey, Tomato juice and Turmeric powder: Mix one tablespoon honey, juice of half a tomato, and a pinch of turmeric powder. Apply the paste on the areas and leave it to dry. Wash with plain water.

Glycerin, Milk, Turmeric powder and Gram flour: Mix one tablespoon glycerin, three tablespoon raw milk, one pinch of turmeric powder and two tablespoon gram flour. Apply this paste on the areas and wash after 20 minutes.

Lemon Juice, Salt, Sugar and Coconut oil: Prepare a mixture with one tablespoon of each ingredient. Use this mixture as scrub and gently massage those areas with this. This will help reduce the darkness of the skin while the salt and sugar will remove the dead cells.

Papaya and Honey: Cut two big slices of papaya and mix with two tablespoons of honey, apply this soothing pack on the skin and wash after 20 minutes.

Wear Cotton: Always wear cotton cloths, nylon or chiffon clothes can be harsh on your skin. Especially the underarm area needs comfortable fabric as it goes through sweat and bruising against your body. Soft breathable cotton clothes are recommended to keep your skin soft and smooth.

With these simple steps you can achieve a perfect overall look for yourself. One thing you should keep in mind that this is not an overnight process as any chemical treatment; you will have to be patient and take care of your skin.

Coloressence Mesmerising Lip Color Hot Look Review, Photos and Swatches

10 Replies

Hello ladies! Red or different shades of red lipsticks look very attractive and stylish; I am a freak about bright color lipsticks from fuchsia to magenta, red comes in between them though. Red is one color that can go with any dress and of any color. I already have many shades of fuchsia and magenta and red, so I wanted to try some different shades of red.

Last month while planning shopping online, I bought three different shades of red lipstick from Coloressence and I am going to review three of them one by one. Today, I will be reviewing one in the shade Hot Look.

Price and quantity:

Rs. 150 for 4 g.

My Take:

The lipstick comes in a very chic and stylish bullet with black and silver packaging. The cover is very tight; I don’t like lipsticks with loose cover, day by day they become so loose that they keep falling now and then. So, one point goes to this lipstick. The smell is pretty nice, reminds me some of the lipsticks from my childhood.

The bullet is stiff and a bit dry. Dryness makes it difficult to apply on the lips. The color is the most appealing and eye-catching color, not exactly siren red or blood red. Apart from the color, the other thing I like about this lipstick is it is matte finish. I love matte lips so much that sometimes, I blot the moisture of the lipstick after applying my favorite lipsticks.

Though the brand claims that this is moisture lip color and keeps the lips moisture and nourished, I did not find any of these things in my lipstick. Actually, my lipstick was completely opposite to its description, dry and matte (though nourishing would have been good for lips but yet it does not bother me at all).

Now, the staying power is quite good, for 4-5 hours. It survives my eating sessions and that’s another win. Trust me, I always forgot that I am wearing makeup and do blunders like, rubbing my eyes, or wiping sweat off my face ferociously. So, this lipstick is quite a strong one on the lips.

This lipstick is very proper for night and evening outings but if wore with the right attire and makeup, it will look stunning in day outings also. Overall, I love this lipstick for being it matte and the shade is very lovely too.
