On Monday, November 9th, 2015, Lamania Boutique held a beauty tips event with our very own style expert, Anna Jackowska and Arbonne Cosmetics Beauty expert, Vanessa Juandoo. A perfect way to end a rough start to everyone’s week, the event began with wine and tips to figuring out simple ways to identify our body shapes. With comparisons to celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé Knowles, Oprah Winfrey, and Cameron Diaz, the 4 most common identifiable shapes are; pear, apple, straight, and the most desirable by many, the hourglass.
In case you missed out on the event here are some helpful tips;
Pear:
The pear shaped body type is easily identified by a more rounded bottom ratio than the bust. The hips are wider than the shoulder and bust line, creating a fabulous curve with that defined waist. When finding an outfit for a pear shaped body type, you want to choose necklines that make the appearance of your shoulders seem wider. When it comes to wearing the most complimenting tops, choose brighter prints and colors to draw less attention to your hips. Focus on defining your waistline by belting your garments at the most narrow part of your torso.
Apple:
The apple shaped body is easily identified by a more rounded shoulders and torso. The bust and hip line are similar in width. The best way to dress for an apple shaped figure is to create an empire waistline. This line is right under your bust line, it will compliment your lady bumps and draw less attention to your mid-section and accentuate those legs.
Straight:
The straight shaped body is easily recognized by the similarity in length of the shoulders, bust, waist and hip line. The figure is considered boxy and have a seemingly athletic appearance. The best way to dress for a straight body figure is to accentuate the model like legs and visually enhance the waistline for a more curvaceous and feminine appearance. Belt your garments at the waist, and wear necklines that help widen the appearance of shoulders, to aid in creating the hourglass shape.
Hourglass:
This hourglass body shape is easily identified by the curves. The shoulders and bust are similar in width in comparison to the hip line, all complimented with that narrow waist. Your body is one of the easiest to dress for, just keep showing off all those curves by belting at your waistline, necklines that show off those collarbones, and wearing fitted garments that truly show off all that you’ve worked hard to keep in shape.
At Lamania, while we were in the midst of a makeover in the dressing room, Vanessa Juandoo, educated us on the importance of a beauty cleansing routine. The do’s and don’ts of your regime for day and night included: Step one: cleanse, Step two: tone and Step three: restore your skins elasticity with the right lotions for day and night.
- You should be going through your routine morning and night, as tough as it can be sometimes applying an SPF based lotion for day to protect you from the harmful rays and environmental bacteria.
- Apply an anti-aging or firming night lotion for bedtime to restore that youthful look while you endure your literal, beauty sleep.
When our volunteer- model stepped out of the dressing room, in a body-con dress, she had everyone in awe. The dress featured the perfect positions of print accentuating her curves, and elongating her length. Her makeup routine featured a slight smoky eye, liquid liner, touch up on mascara, beautiful blush, and berry lipstick. Such a simple, sexy and completely transforming day to night look.
The evening was full of surprises and prizes!
