Style Tips

Get a leg up with the right outfit

Short women should avoid cropped pants and shoes with ankle straps, because they cut off at places that make the legs look shorter. On the contrary, high-waisted pants and skirts and stiletto heels elongate the limbs.

Don't over-accessorize

Never pair a big or bold necklace with an equally flashy pair of earrings or bracelet. They will compete with each other and distract from the look you're trying to create.

Don't let yellow teeth give you the blues

To instantly brighten your smile without dental work, choose lipstick shades with blue undertones like plum and cherry. Orange tones, on the other hand, make your teeth appear dull and yellow.

Exfoliate

We've all heard horror stories about over-exfoliation and red, irritated skin. But the bottom line is, a gentle scrub lifts away dead skin cells and encourages cell reproduction, leaving you with a more youthful glow.

Highlight under your brow

Highlighting your skin in the right spots will give you a radiant glow and lift your entire face. Start with a light dusting of shimmering highlight powder under your brow bone, a dab on the inner corner of your eye, and a light brush along the top of your cheekbone.

Manicure yourself

Perfectly groomed nails up your style ante in an instant. Keep your nails on the short side for easier maintenance. Once a week, soak your hands in warm water with lavender oil and gently push back your cuticles. File into a square-ish oval for a modern shape, and top with your favorite polish.
