Do Make Sure You’re Buying the Proper Size – We all know what’s sexy but you know what’s not? Quad boob. Unless, of course, you enjoy when your breasts are too big for the bra and they spill out.

Your band should fit snuggly on the first hook and the cup should envelop your breast so that no excessive breast tissue is peaking out.

HOW TO PULL OFF SHEER TOPS

HOW TO PULL OFF SHEER TOPS

Wearing a sheer shirt may sound risqué, but with the right layering pieces, even the most prudish dressers can get the look without feeling daft or drafty. The trick is to cover up without covering it all: That means finding just the right blazer to wear open, opting for a slightly frilly, fuller bra, picking button-ups with cleverly tinted breast pockets, and being strategic about layering one sheer shirt over another. It's sexy, it's daring, and you're sure to hit the sartorial jackpot if you do it just right. Here are four different ways to play peek-a-boo!

HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN RED CARPET

How to look good in a red carpet?

While airbrush makeup is relatively new kind of makeup starting to gain popularity all over the world. Airbrush makeup is a super light weight makeup that is applied with the same kind of technology that is mostly used in painting automotive work.

However, the device you will be using to apply your makeup will not be neary as large or have as much pressure. What this device does is apply your makeup through an air gun machine that leaves you with a beautiful, then, even cover of makeup giving your face a very matte finished look.

BLAZER: HOW TO PICK THE RIGHT BLAZER FOR YOU

How To Choose The Right Blazer

We all have at least one – and if we don’t, we definitely should. The blazer is one of those clothing items that will never go out of style, but it changes in shape and ever so often there is a new trendy type of blazer!

The piece itself is very androgynous; it can be feminine or it can be masculine, it can dress an outfit up or it can dress it down. For instance, when your going to a meeting, if you throw on a blazer over practically anything, you will look more sophisticated and ‘business’ and if you’re going out and your dress is a bit too revealing, you can throw on a blazer and suddenly look sexy, but sophisticated, just like for instance Jennifer Aniston!

DARE TO BARE IN CROP TOP

Do You Dare Bare in a Crop Top?

I was recently asked by a fashion reader if it were possible to wear a crop top without looking like a cheap street walker. (Get my drift here?) I was also asked by a woman in her 40's if it were appropriate for someone her age to be sporting a crop top. Here I answer these questions and give you insight on how to wear crop tops properly.

For the first reader: Yes, it's absolutely possible to pull off the look while still maintaining some class. No, I'm not giving you the leeway to wear your crop tops to church, but in the right setting (clubs, bars) it's all appropriate! The great thing about crop tops is that the amount of skin you choose to bare is pretty adjustable. If you're a bit on the self-conscious side choose a longer crop top!

KATY PERRY APPEARANCE IN SUPER BOWL 2012

What does it take to get a kiss from Katy Perry? Apparently, just a little self-assurance.

At Mark Cuban's DIRECTV Super Saturday Night party, the singer was impressed by one fan's courage after she pulled him up on stage. So much so that she gave him a gift he'll never forget.


"I want to give you a present because you were so nice. You took your t-shirt off for me," said Katy, who went on to remark on the young man's confidence. "You're a little bit nervous but not as nervous as you should be."

As a reward, Katy snuck in a kiss when the fan wasn't looking, sending the crowd into frenzy.

The pre-Super Bowl concert marked Katy's first U.S. performance since splitting from Russell Brand.

ADRIANA LIMA IN KIA COMMERCIAL VIDEO 2012

Adriana Lima waves the flag for almost 5 hours.

We're not kidding. The commercial is actually 4 hours and 56 minutes long. However,
Victoria's Secret's supermodel Adriana Lima is not actually waving that flag for five hours. It's just a bit of slow motion magic. We're not really getting Kia's point with this commercial stunt, but hey, whatever gets the public's attention, right? Anyway, give us a signal if you manage to watch the whole thing, from start to finish. Afterall, it's Adriana Lima who waves the checkered flag at the end...

TOP 20 BEAUTY SECRET FOR TEENS

"No, I'm not! I'm not a tomboy! I love my makeup! That's not true! I'm not a tomboy!" -- Hilary Duff, Academy Award-winning actress

There's nothing worse than getting advice from older people, we know, we know, but the truth is some advice is worth taking and keeping, especially when it comes to fun beauty tips. We've been reading fashion magazines and testing beauty products for years. In this time, we've read 1000s of beauty tips, tried 1000s of products, but only a few are worth keeping around. So, here we share with you the 20 things we wish we knew when we were teenagers.

1. Skip the foundation If you have acne the first thing you want to do is slather on the thick foundation. Don't. Foundation is for women over 35. Not only will it cover up your natural beauty, but foundation on a teenager looks anything but natural. Instead, cover up blemishes with concealer, then follow with a powder or tinted mosturizer. Tinted moisturizers tend to be lighter than heavy foundations.


2. You pat concealer in, you never rub it in We know this from watching the Tyra Banks show. When applying concealer, put a bit on the pad of your middle finger and pat it in. Never rub. Got acne? Pat the concealer on top of it.

3. Play up your lips or your eyes, never both If you are wearing heavy eye makeup, go for nude lips with just a bit of gloss. Prefer the drama of dark lipstick? Keep face light (stay away from heavy blush) and wear only mascara on your eyes and a light eyeshadow. Don't heavily line your eyes. Play up both and you'll look like a clown.

And never, ever line lips in a darker color than your gloss or lipstick.

4. Less is more Ever notice how some of your friends look best with no makeup at all? No matter your age, too much makeup makes you look worse. If you wear foundation, powder, blush, liner, mascara, eyeshadow, lip liner and gloss on an everyday basis, then you're overdoing it. Tone it down: All you really need is a great mascara, concealer for blemishes and gloss. Add a pop of blush in winter.

5. Natural hair is always hot If you have super dark hair, lighten your look by going a shade darker or getting lighter highlights. Blonde? Try highlights, especially framing the face. We see too many teens lightening their hair several shades and the look can be super-tacky, not super-fabulous. The trick is to let people assume you were born with sun-kissed hair, not that you gave yourself a bad dye job from a bottle. More hair color tips here.

6. Vaseline is your best friend Vaseline is a great, cheap eye makeup remover. It's also great for fixing chapped, scaly lips. Slather on a bunch of Vaseline, then use a toothbrush to massage lips. Wipe the excess off on a tissue. Your lips will be smooth and soft.

7. You can never go wrong with layers Long layers are great for any hair type: Super curly, straight or wavy. It makes thin hair appear thicker, curly hair appear manageable and wavy hair appear just-got-back-from-the-beach sexy. Just make sure you don't get too many layers cut in. Too many short layers is dated.

8. Acne? Get thee to a dermatologist, stat Biggest mistake people with acne make? Not going to a dermatologist. Forget those $150 jeans you covet. Getting rid of those pimples will be the best investment you'll ever make. And the only guaranteed way to do it is with a dermatologist.

9. Spend money on key beauty products Not sure what to splurge on and what to save on? I give you the scoop in this article. See if you should splurge or save on cleansers, mascara, concealer and more.

10. Buying foundation or lipstick? Test it first There are some beauty products you simply must try out at a department store or Sephora before you buy. These include: Foundation, lipstick, blush and powder.

Buy these products in a grocery store and you'll be lucky if you picked the right color for your skin tone. What you can get away with without testing: Mascara, eye liner, most basic eye shadows and lip gloss.

11. When can you skip sunscreen ? Never Here's a trick we wish we knew: The first beauty product you should apply every day is sunscreen, even if it's cloudy or rainy outside. Why? Good habits start young and if you use sunscreen now, you'll have gorgeous skin when you're 50, 60, 70. Remember, the sun's UV rays can penetrate clouds and car windows.

12. Wrapping hair around the barrel creates waves There's nothing cooler than long, layered waves. To get them, wind hair AROUND the barrel of a large curling iron. Reverse direction for each 2-inch section (wind up for one, down for another).

13. Self-tanner will always stink Unfortunately, even the best ones smell. Your best bet is to apply self-tanner a good 24 hours before an important event and take a shower (don't loofah) to wash off any smell. For really big events like a dance or wedding, consider a professional spray tan. These are pricey and don't last long, so make sure to do it a day before the big event.

14. Don't let nails go Not into manicures and pedicures? No worries. Just make sure to keep nails clean and the same length. If you do want to paint them, don't keep the polish on until half of it's chipped away. Also, there's nothing worse than too-long toenails. Keep nails clipped between pedicures! People tend to judge others by the care they put into their hands and feet.

15. Don't line the inside of your eyes It will make your eyes appear smaller. Instead, line just at the lash line. Also, an obvious line doesn't look natural. Smudge the line just a bit.

16. Oily hair? Invest in a dry shampoo If you have blonde hair, sprinkling a bit of baby powder on your roots and at your crown will soak up excess oils. If you have brown hair, you might be better off with a dry shampoo for your hair color.

17. Shave legs at the end of the shower Cut down on nicks and cuts by making shaving the very last step in your shower or bathing ritual. Nine more shaving tips here

18. Know your best feature and play it up What feature do people comment on most? Play it up. If you're told you have Angelina Jolie lips, make sure to wear gloss and play with bold lipstick colors. If it's your eye color people love, find eyeshadow colors that complement them and make sure to wear mascara. Also, know what color shirts look best on you and go shopping.

19. Scrubs are great for dry skin If you have dry, itchy skin in winter, invest in a scrub and handmitts and scrub away in the bathtub. Make sure to slather on a thick moisturizer afterward. For dry, callousy feet, buy a pumice stone. They work better than any of the other wimpy options on the market.

20. Remember: Beauty is mostly internal Think about a girl you know who's overweight yet all the guys love her. Why? Because she's confident. If you aren't wearing makeup and your toes haven't been repainted in weeks, if you're happy and smiling you will still be 10 times prettier than the mopey cheerleader sitting next to you in class.
