Swimwear

Have you gotten that feeling of denial when you found out that those guys weren’t talking about you, but rather their sexy friend? Every woman’s been through it before. Those days are long over if you’re ready to revamp your style and turn everyone’s heads. No matter what your hair color, body shape, or eye color, you too can become sexier today. But remember- don’t ever try to change yourself and who you are for someone else. It’s SO not worth it!

Underwear is one of those cute little things that make a woman irresistible. As we know, Strapless or Convertible Bra are an important piece for your wardrobe, they are great for gowns and tops.

There is something for everyone on the market, a great range of astonishing fully regulating, inter-changeable bra straps! Swarovski crystal stone bra straps are easy to use, just simply clip out, clip on and go!

Underwear should be also chosen in dependence on of the event.

If you are not tall enough, the ideal accessories will be to wear a pair of sexy heels and even a stripped dress in order to create a feeling of tallness.

Go for fabrics that feel nice against your skin, like cashmere, silky satin and buttery soft suede. Look for exotic dresses that add feminine charm and intrigue.

Remember, nothing does the job better than red, no matter what you think. It will add a splash of color and a stylish alluring vibe.

For young girls, yes, sexy girls are fine shimmer merry lip gloss is good, older women should choose matte red that best suits their skin tone (blue-reds for darker skin tones; orangey hues for olive; true reds for blondes).

But most important, no matter how you look the most important is the attitude. As long as you have a positive attitude and you are confident in your sexuality, clothes and underwear nothing can make you feel better.

Makeup artist Jatin says that you don’t necessarily have to have long, sculptured red nails to look glamourous. Instead, concentrate on attaining spotlessly clean and manicured nails – a goal that is easily achieved sitting at home.

How to do it: Most Indian women, while remembering to take care of their faces, ignore their hands and feet. A big mistake, so go and splurge a little on a good manicure and pedicure at a salon and try to soak your hands and feet in warm water at home when you can. Also moisturise after your bath everyday.

Blow-dried hair

No matter how artfully you apply your makeup, the whole “glam” look can only be achieved by grooming your hair. Alluring hair is usually voluminous, clean and bouncy with loads of movement, unrestricted by pins, clips or bands. So blow-drying your hair is essential to give your locks a certain pizzazz and playfulness, says freelance makeup artist Jatin Malhotra. But most Indian women tend think of blow-drying as a salon procedure and not a daily ritual, which is why so many of us have bad hair days almost every day of the year.

How to do it: Evenly apply leave-on conditioner on the strands of your hair. Then turn on the blow-drier and run your fingers through your hair. For added volume, flip your head upside down and aim the dryer at your roots.

Rouge

Blush or rouge is used to redden the cheeks and is another favourite makeup item of women internationally. A blush/blusher can highlight your cheekbones by contouring the cheeks. “It brightens the face instantly and adds depth. If you want your face to look angular, use a dark blush on the hollows of your cheeks. But if you want to give your complexion a warm glow, dust some on the apples of your cheeks,” says makeup artist Jatin Malhotra.

Debunking the prevailing perception, Sushma, national skin and make-up consultant, Lakme Beauty Salon, says that rouge doesn’t have to be clearly visible on the face. Less is more. Marilyn Monroe was an expert in the art of such minimal make-up and was known to use the blush to enhance her cheekbones. If you have a dewy complexion, chuck the foundation and just pat a concealer on the trouble spots and blemishes, before you apply the rouge. Just choose the colour with care.

How to do it: Sushma Khan says, “Fair skinned women should use peach or rose blush, while those with dark skin should opt for rust, plum and brownish red. Shimmery powder, when dusted over the cheekbones, manipulates the way light reflects off the contours of your face and gives a fulsome glam look.”

Do not apply blush in circles over the cheeks. The correct way is to sweep a little bit of blush up towards the ears. Make sure you blend well after application or you may end up looking like a clown.

Eye shadow

For make up artist Serra Michel, the face is a canvas on which she creates art. To her, a canvas without shades is unthinkable. But then, she lives in France. So, when she heard that Indian women rarely use eye shadow, she was aghast. “The right colour of eye shadow can add instant glamour. Even the simplest and barest of makeup can look smashing if the eye makeup is correct because eyes are the most prominent feature of the face.

If you look closely, all the models in international glamour magazines wear bold eye shadows. They add colour to the face and give an ethereal appeal.” If eye shadow is such a makeover tool, why don’t Indian women use it more often? “Lack of awareness about the art of makeup. Women don’t know how to apply eye shadow, what kind to buy and how to match it,” explains freelance makeup artist Jatin Malhotra.

Makeup artists debunk the theory that your eye shadow should match your clothes. Instead, they claim that the shade of the eye shadow should reflect the mood of the person, match the skin tone and shape of the eyes. It adds dimension to the face and can make small eyes look wider and vice versa.

Liquid eyeliner

While the eyeliner is an Egyptian import, the kajal, kohl or surma, has been a traditional part of Indian makeup. That explains why kajal is used everyday by women here while the eyeliner is used only for special occasions. In the past, sex sirens like Greta Garbo, Marilyn Monroe and Sophia Loren have used the liner to create a sensuous look. Sharmila Tagore and Saira Banu, closer home, also relied on the liner, but they never managed to inspire Indian women to do the same everyday.

Stilettos

The affair between women and their high heels has been long and torrid. A woman will love what a pair of killer heels can do for her sex appeal but hate the excruciating pain she has to endure each time she steps out in them. Though women in India do know about the miraculous powers of stilettos, they don’t – like their counterparts across Europe – wear them too often. “A big mistake,” says fashion footwear designer Swati Mehrotra of Swatimodo.

Although all kinds of heels add height and work wonders on a woman’s self confidence, only stilettos can fuel that hip-swinging, feline gait. Stilettos are also a great way to look thinner. “They look flattering and are definitely more slimming than flats, agrees Swati. The best part is that you can pair them with any attire, be it a swinging dress or skirt or slim cigarette pants. So, go ahead and invest in a good pair of heels.

Soften Your Skin

The number-one way to make dry, dull, pasty skin look radiant and smooth is to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate (got that?). Use a gentle body scrub every day in the shower. To boost its effectiveness, rub it on using circular motions, spending a few extra seconds on rough spots like knees, elbows, and feet. An oil-based version will give you extra hydration. Two great options: Sephora Body Sugar Body Scrub and H2O Plus Sea Salt Skin Smoother.

Beat Body Acne

Don’t let eruptions on your back, shoulders, chest, or butt force you to eliminate slinky tops and skimpy bikinis from your warm-weather wardrobe. To ward off new spots while dealing with existing ones, start this daily blemish-busting regimen: First, cleanse the offending areas with a body wash that contains salicylic acid like Murad Acne Body Wash. Let the cleanser sit on your skin for a few minutes before rinsing it off so you can reap all the antiacne benefits. Postshower, spot-treat your zits with the same drying potion that you use on your face.

Tackle Your Feet

Don’t forget about your feet when you’re prepping for bikini season. Here’s an easy way to get them in flip-flop shape fast: Submerge your feet in a large bowl of equal parts warm milk and water. The lactic acid naturally eats away at dead skin. Rather use a premade version? Dissolve a few scoops of Archipelago Botanicals Milk Foot Soak in warm water. After five minutes, buff away any calluses and rough spots with a pumice stone, then rub in a foot cream that has alpha hydroxy acid, like Eucerin Plus Intensive Repair Foot Creme, to soften the skin even more. If it’s nighttime, slip on a pair of cotton socks immediately after applying the cream and wear them while you sleep. You’ll wake up with the smoothest feet ever.
