Do you want to be always sexy and in fashion? Would you like to attract everyone’s looks without having a vulgar look? Here are some tips in order to solve any possible confusion related to the fashion topic.
• Wear what you like and what suits you;
• Wear a skin colour bra under a white blouse;
• Wear horizontal stripes if you have narrow shoulders, small breasts and narrow hips. You can also wear horizontal stripes on the narrow parts of your body if you want to divert attention from a big bust or hips;
• Try to show your physical qualities and hide the defects;
• Wear artificial fur because the natural one is old- fashioned;
• Use a natural make-up during the day;
• Wear low size trousers if you have a big posterior. Those trousers designed with a high size will stress this little defect;
• Wear the appropriate size because a small t-shirt or bra won’t give you a sexy look but an unpleasant appearance;
• Don’t wear long skirts with large t-shirts. This combination will make you look fatter;
• Don’t let your lingerie out of the trousers; it will give you an unpleasant, vulgar look;
• Don’t use black lipstick;
• Don’t exaggerate in using all kind of accessories as, for example, a ring on every finger;
• Don’t mix up styles. For example, don’t wear sport accessories with an elegant outfit, or any other weird combination.
How to dress at work?
If your style is sexy more than stylish you might have some problems at work. Wearing a sexy outfit at work is seen as an inadequate behavior for any woman. For example women with leading positions are looked at as being less intelligent and competent. This perception is not valid when it comes to secretaries, for example. Women wearing clothes which show too much are looked at as using their sexuality in order to be promoted. Let’s see some suggestions in order to dress suitable at work.
Blouses should cover shoulders, the back and the abdomen. Avoid wearing transparent materials and stretched clothes.
Skirts can be a hand above the knee, not at all shorter. Skirts having the “A” shape and conic skirts are classic stylish options although you can also wear floral prints skirts.
When it comes to trousers, they must be simple, classic colors. Be careful how stretched and avoid those which show your lingerie.
Many banks interdict shoes which reveal foot nails. In this case, you should choose pumps or little hills shoes.
What is too sexy to wear at work?
Blouses which show too much skin such as those showing your abdomen or a decolletage are not suited for work. If you want to wear them anyway try using a jacket or a bolero.
You shouldn’t wear transparent or glossy clothes at work. Exposing your underwear is totally unsuitable. Short skirts, naked back dresses or stiletto shoes can’t be worn at work.
How to be a cool colleague?
You surely spend much more time at your job than at home. In this case you should make your life easier and respect the existent rules. It isn’t important that you work perfect with the clients, if your colleagues can’t stand you. Let’s see some tips which will help you be considered a “cool” colleague.
Don’t steal things
We ale borrow pens or pencils but don’t forget to give it back. There is nothing more annoying than seeing that things are missing from your desk.
Behave at work as you behave at home
Don’t do mess in public places. Keep the toilet and kitchen hygienic.
Don’t scream and don’t attack your colleagues no matter how irritating they are. We all lived situations when we felt angry on some of our colleagues. Try to abstain yourself from expressing your feelings. It works if you want to. You must be clever, intelligent.
Face to face
No matter how hard it may be, you must communicate directly, face to face. You can be seen by others and the communication is much clear.
Be trustable
If someone told you a secret and you told it the next moment to others, don’t expect to be trusted from now on. People easily lose confidence and you can win it hard afterwards.
Don’t expect the work to be done by your colleagues
The work week ends Friday afternoon, not Thursday afternoon.
Remember: if you gossip and stab someone at the back, that person will think that you do the same with anyone. Nobody likes bad persons who gossip a lot.
Admit others success with humor and avoid persons who make you shiver. You don’t have to be friend with them. Be just polite.
Try using these tips and you will surely be considered the best colleague ever.

Foundation Creams
Foundation should be considered as a skin improver. Foundation should match your skin tone. To choose a colour apply little on your cheek or inside of your wrist. Be careful to blend around nose and chin and fade away under the chin. Heavy foundation is old fashioned and ageing. Foundation should never appear like a mask. The shade chosen should be as close to your natural skin tone, so that there is no sudden change of colours between Chin and neck. Different types of foundation Foundations are available in various forms liquids, gels, creams, solid creams, in sticks (pen stick), cakes (pancakes). This can be chosen depending on how much clarity or cover you prefer. * Emulsions These are packaged in tubes and are formulated for a variety of skin types- for dry skins, oily skins and normal skins. This gives less sheen than cream or liquid foundations, but cover blemishes very well. * Creams These are packed in jars. As they contain a high proportion of oils, they are particularly suitable for dry skins. These also provide a heavy cover, but gives a glossy finish. * Liquids These are packaged in bottles and can be formulated for all skin types. They give a light sheen cover but are too light to cover any blemishes and scars. * Gels These are packaged in squeeze tubes. They give a light, natural look and are the variety you should use if you have a blemish free normal skin. * Cakes or sticks These are the solid forms of foundation. Since they have a drying effect, use them on an oily skin. They hide blemishes and scars. Solid forms are popular for photographic and stage work but are too heavy for every day use. * Powders The original full coverage face-powders have now given way to transparent powders; these transparent powders control shine and provide oil - blotting. They are used after foundations to give a matt finish. Cake or compact powders are more heavily formulated; as they contain a certain amount of foundation. These are not the best choice for the initial powdering over foundation because they may rub the foundation off and also cause an unattractive colour build-up. They are best used for touching up during the way, as they help to reinforce coverage. Choice of a foundation Two aspects should be taken into account before choosing a foundation - the form of the foundation and its colour. Some forms are more suited to certain skin types than others. Age and the basic condition of your skin also influence the choice of the foundation. * Choice based on the skin type An oil based foundation is most suited for dry skin as this gives additional moisture. An oil -free, water based foundation (Cake or stick form) is most suited for oily skin. Any form of foundation is suited for the normal skin type especially, Emulsions and liquid foundations which can be used for any skin type * Choice based on age and condition of skin For young and fine skin, a thin foundation (light sheer liquids) is most suited. For a skin with uneven colour and tone, blemishes etc a heavy foundation (cream of stick) is suitable, to cover the poor condition of the skin. For older skin, 2 coats of light liquid foundation is suitable- a heavier foundation may emphasize the lines and skin creases. * Choice based on Colour A make up base or foundation must match the natural skin tone of the person as much as possible. This colour matching is best done in day - light and not in artificial light. A fair skin can use Beige, brownish gold or ochre and darker skin can use pinkish beige, peach or pinkish ochre. If there are more than one colour tone in your face, then match the foundation to the middle tone. Mixing two colours -one which matches your skin and the other which complements your natural colouring could have very good effect. Powder A shade close to your skin colour should be used. Powder is not really meant to add colour, but it helps to add a smooth finish. Apply with a bushy brush or with cotton and dust off excess powder. Blusher or Rouge After facial make up, the next thing that comes on the face is the blusher. Blusher can be in powder form as well as cream form. The colours should not be very much darker than your skin tone. Smile widely with your lips closed. Your cheek naturally raise; apply rouge on the raised area and fade out gradually towards the hairline. Never apply rouge too close to the nose and too low on the cheeks.

Types of Hair
It is essential to identify the texture of your hair whether dry, oily or balanced for a good hair care program. Read on to identify your hair type. Dry Hair Dry hair is due to inactive oil glands. It is also caused by other factors like over exposure to the sun, using harsh shampoo and chemical treatment. Accumulated oil, block the pores not allowing the oil to flow on to the surface. This is another reason for dry hair. Dry hair would need plenty of nourishment. Massage well with a warm herbal oil at least twice a week. Follow a diet rich in zinc. Use a mild shampoo and avoid harsh ones since the chemicals in them can strip hair of its outer protein layer, further drying the scalp. Do not use electric curlers and hair dryers. Oily Hair This is usually accompanied with oily skin. This is due to the over secretion of oil. Hence the scalp and hair gets too oily. Oily hair is easily recognizable. It looks greasy even after shampooing and and attracts more dirt. The oily hair needs to be washed every third or fourth day or even more frequently depending on individual comfort and rinsed out with lemon. Use oils and shampoos rich in neem and henna. A head massage with a herbal oil helps maintain the pH level of the scalp. Avoid oily foods and binge on green leafy vegetables and fruits.
Sensitive skin
This type of skin has a fine texture and is very sensitive to changes in the climate. This skin type show the disadvantages of bleaching, waxing, threading, perfumes, temperature extremes, soap etc and for men sun, perfumes, shaving cream etc. People with this skin type should avoid products with dyes, perfumes, or unnecessary chemical ingredients that may irritate the skin.
Combination skin
This type of skin is very common. As the name suggests, it is a combination of both oily and dry skin with certain areas of the face oily and the rest dry. Usually there is a central greasy panel consisting of the forehead, nose and chin and a dry panel consisting of cheeks and the areas around the eyes and mouth. The greasy central panel is referred to as T - Zone. In such cases, each part of the face should be treated accordingly - the dry areas as for dry skin and the central panel as for oily skin and use skin care products made especially for combination skin.
Oily skin
As its name implies, oily skin is slightly to moderately greasy. This type of skin is caused by the over secretion of sebum making the skin surface oily. The excess oil on the surface of the skin attracts dirt and dust from the environment. Oily skin is also prone to black heads, white heads, spots, pimples and such skin will never be clear. This type of skin needs to be cleansed thoroughly.
Dry skin
Dry skin has a dry parched appearance and has a tendency to flake easily. It is prone to wrinkles and lines. This is due to the inability to retain moisture as well as the insufficient production of sebum by the sebaceous glands. Dry skin often has problems in cold weather and ages faster than normal or oily skin. Constant protection is very important. It needs a moisturiser during the day and a good cream at night
Normal Skin
Normal skin has a fine even texture with a supple and smooth surface. It has a proper balance between oil and moisture contents and is therefore moist and is neither greasy nor dry. The pores of normal skin are small and the overall skin tone is even. It looks clear and does not develop spots and blemishes. The pores of the skin are fine and barely visible. It reflects good health and needs gentle treatment
Types of Skin
Knowing your skin type is the chief way you can ensure your skin feels and looks its best. Many people, however, get confused when trying to figure out exactly what their skin type is. Skin can be divided into various types according to its texture. It is essential to know what skin type you actually have and using the correct products on your face can really make a difference to those problem areas you may have. Due to our higher levels of collagen, male skin is up to 20% thicker and tougher than female skin. Male skin is also oilier, with larger exposed pores, a richer blood supply, and more of a tendency to break out in a sweat compared with women's skin. There are five basic skin types. They are 1.Normal skin 2.Dry skin 3.Oily skin 4.Combination skin 5.Sensitive skin

Dreams Can Prevent Wrinkles
Did you know that dreams could help delay those tell tale wrinkles appearing around your eyes? To stay looking younger, longer then you need to dream! Researchers believe that stress and anxiety triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that that raises blood pressure and blood sugar. This in turn causes insomnia or sleep deprivation and may eventually lead to bad health problems. The early signs are the appearance or accentuation of wrinkles and fine lines on the skin, most noticeable around the eyes. The first problem to address is how to relieve the day to day stress and anxiety that so many of us suffer from and that seems to come to a head when we get into bed to try to get a good nights sleep. Stop drinking alcohol as early in the evening as you can, avoid aspirin, ibuferon and anti-depressants as all these blocks the body from producing melatonin, the hormone that helps us into deep sleep accompanied by dreams. This dream like state is accompanied by rapid eye movement (REM), rising brain activity blood pressure and breathing rate while muscular movements stay dormant. REM sleep accounts for only about a quarter of our sleep periods. The majority is made up 'quiet sleep', known as 'NREM' when virtually all movement slows down. This when the body revitalises itself with hormones that generate growth to repair, maintain and renew the physical body's vital functions. The importance difference with REM is that muscles relax allowing the skin to revert to smooth lines and all stress and anxiety to be absorbed and forgotten as our dreams take control. That means that while any sleep is important for our health and well being, the more REM sleep we can get the longer we can delay those aging wrinkles appearing particularly around our eyes. The natural approach is the best defence against sleep deprivation. Refrain from drugs that may inhibit melatonin, controversially a hormone that produces deep 'REM' sleep but inhibits 'NREM' sleep. Dreaming can also be blocked by sleeping pills as well as aspirin and ibuferon. Before going to bed dim the bathroom lights and relax in a warm bath with chamomile or lavender essential oils. They will slow down your brain activity as you inhale them. It will help you relax your muscles and prepare you for sleep. Get into a warm bed, if the bed or sheets are cold it will alert your senses and you do not want that! Most of us have heard of counting sheep to get to sleep and it may work for you. The important point is to unclutter your mind and concentrate on relaxed deep breathing. Don't let your emotions get in the way of your peace of mind, even if you have to stop thinking of the stressful events of the day, counting sheep is as good a way as any other. The more you dream the better for your youth and beauty
Stop Aging Neck Wrinkles Now
One of the first signs of aging is the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles in the skin around the neck and eyes. This is because the skin in these areas is thinner than on the rest of the body making it more vulnerable to visible damage caused by exposure to the ultra violet rays in sunlight. There are two further principal reasons why the neck area is usually the first to show the onset of age in the form of wrinkles and saggy skin. As we grow older so the fat layer underlying the skin gets redistributed. In the neck and under the chin the fatty tissues become reduced resulting in the overlying skin losing the support of this layer and allowing wrinkles and sagginess to become more visible. In many cases neck wrinkles and saggy skin progress down to the upper chest area causing even more evidence of advancing age. The problem is compounded by the fact that the front of the neck and under the chin are areas of the body that do not have a great deal of muscular support. As a consequence they are unable to make up for the loss of support as the fatty tissue diminishes and the ravages of sunlight takes it toll. In common with the skin covering the rest of the body, bad diet and lack of attention to good skin care is also a contributory factor. To stop aging neck wrinkles and saggy skin, often referred to as ‘turkey neck', prevention is better than cure. * Don't stop your skin care routine at your face but cleanse, tone and moisturise your neck and upper chest at the same time. * Always remember to pay special attention to cover all the exposed areas of your upper body with a good sunscreen when outdoors, even if the sun is hardly shining, and keep your neck protected from wind and snow. * If you begin to see the appearance of aging neck wrinkles take immediate action and apply a rejuvenating skin cream specially formulated for the thin skin around the neck and available from most pharmacies. * Keep to a healthy diet containing plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables and be sure to exercise regularly, it doesn't have to be strenuous but keep to a routine. If you become more concerned that you are developing a ‘turkey neck' then the best advice is to consult a qualified dermatologist or skin specialist. There are a range of treatments that include laser therapies, surgical procedures and skin peels that can work "miracles!"
How Sunglasses Prevent Squinting
While our eyes are capable of absorbing light, any extreme brightness will need some type of protective wear.
Usually, we squint in order to reduce the amount of light that is entering our eyes. This can cause headaches and other pains. Not to mention early onset of wrinkles.
Sunglasses are crucial to prevent this from happening. A darkened lens helps to absorb the bright light, while the UV filter protects our eyes from the dangerous UV rays.
With that said, you should always check the label for the 100% UV protection logo before purchasing any sunglasses. Even the cheapest sunglasses have the logo, therefore you could afford these no matter what you budget is.
Obviously, your eyes matter more than fashion and the frame should fit close enough to your face.
Tests that have been conducted on manikins have shown that even lenses with the 100% UV logo have allowed sunlight to get around the side of the eyes due to the gaps in spaces.
It is recommended that large wrap around sunglasses be used for the best protection.
Depending on what you will be using the sunglasses for is the determining factor for how dark the lens should be. If you will be where there is a large amount of sunlight, such as in the snowy mountains if you are a winter sports enthusiast for example, then you will need very dark lenses.
For more average daily usage, you can use lighter lenses and still be protected. For frequent drivers, lenses with darker shading at the top and lighter at the bottom allow them to still see the dashboard while reducing the glare from the sun.
The lenses do not always have to be a dark black in order to protect you from the sun.
* Grey colored lenses are becoming very popular, and they reduce the most amount of color distortion.
* Brown and yellow lenses are also gaining recognition due to the fact that they reduce glare while helping block the sun. The only downside is that they tend to make everything have a weird shade of yellow which might counteract with your eyes after a while.
If you do purchase cheaper quality lenses, if they do not have the UV filters then you might as well not be wearing any sunglasses at all. They have to have the UV filter or else your eyes will be subjected to the hazardous UV light. While some consumers enjoy buying the designer frames, stay clear from the ones with very small lenses and thin arms.
They might look stylish while worn, but they are not protecting you at all from the effects of the sun on your eyes.
How To Stimulate Eyelash Growth
Now the often hideous Halloween look is over, is the time for taking a close look at your most noticeable feature - your eyes. Although our eyes are one of our prominent facial features without Mother Nature's gift of eyelashes to emphasize them they would recede into our faces. Therefore you should look after them well. The fact is that the longer and thicker your eyelashes are the more your eyes will stand out.

History of beauty
There is evidence that a preference for beautiful faces emerges early in child development, and that the standards of attractiveness are similar across different genders and cultures.Symmetry is also important because it suggests the absence of genetic or acquired defects. Although style and fashion vary widely, cross-cultural research has found a variety of commonalities in people's perception of beauty. Large eyes and a clear complexion, for example, are considered beautiful in both men and women in all cultures. Neonatal features are inherently attractive and youthfulness in general is associated with beauty.
The earliest Western theory of beauty can be found in the works of early Greek philosophers from the pre-Socratic period, such as Pythagoras. The Pythagorean school saw a strong connection between mathematics and beauty. In particular, they noted that objects proportioned according to the golden ratio seemed more attractive. Ancient Greek architecture is based on this view of symmetry and proportion. Modern research also suggests that people whose facial features are symmetric and proportioned according to the golden ratio are considered more attractive than those whose faces are not.
Classical philosophy and sculptures of men and women produced according to these philosophers' tenets of ideal human beauty were rediscovered in Renaissance Europe, leading to a re-adoption of what became known as a "classical ideal". In terms of female human beauty, a woman whose appearance conforms to these tenets is still called a "classical beauty" or said to possess a "classical beauty", whilst the foundations laid by Greek and Roman artists have also supplied the standard for male beauty in western civilization. The ideal Roman was defined as tall, muscular, long-legged, with a full head of thick hair, a high and wide forehead – a sign of intelligence – wide-set eyes, a strong browline, a strong perfect nose and profile, a smaller mouth, and a strong jaw line. This combination of factors would, as it does today, produce an impressive "grand" look of handsome masculinity.
Beauty ideals may contribute to racial oppression. For example, a prevailing idea in American culture has been that black features are less attractive or desirable than white features. The idea that blackness was ugly was highly damaging to the psyche of African Americans, manifesting itself as internalized racism.The black is beautiful cultural movement sought to dispel this notion.[6] Conversely, beauty ideals may also promote racial unity. Mixed race children are often perceived to be more attractive than their parents because their genetic diversity protects them from the inherited errors of their individual parents
what is Beauty
as part of aesthetics, sociology, social psychology, and culture. As a cultural creation, beauty has been extremely commercialized. An "ideal beauty" is an
entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture.
The experience of "beauty" often involves the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which may lead to feelings of
attraction and emotional well-being. Because this is a subjective experience, it is often said that "beauty is in the eye of the beholder. In its most
profound sense, beauty may engender a salient experience of positive reflection about the meaning of one's own existence. A subject of beauty is anything
that resonates with personal meaning.
The classical Greek adjective beautiful was καλλός. The Koine Greek word for beautiful was "ὡραῖος", an adjective etymologically coming from the word "ὥρα"
meaning hour. In Koine Greek, beauty was thus associated with "being of one's hour". A ripe fruit (of its time) was considered beautiful, whereas a young
woman trying to appear older or an older woman trying to appear younger would not be considered beautiful. ὡραῖος in Attic Greek had many meanings, including
youthful and ripe old age
