Q&A for How to Look Good

It’s better to have a small wardrobe of items you love rather than a large wardrobe of items that just look okay on you.

The goal is to create the illusion of more curves. You can do this by investing in padded bras to give you more shape, opting for scoop, V, and sweetheart necklines, and get some puffy sleeves or shoulder pads. Opt for styles that nip you around the waist. Belts are great for drawing the eye to the thinnest part of your waist.

Being comfortable. If you have an outfit or look that you really love but it's not comfy, you aren't going to feel good about yourself. The trick is to always compose your look in a way that's going to make you feel physically good.

Black is definitely the preferred color for a funeral, so I really wouldn't go too far out there with any colors. If you don't want to go strictly black, then at least stick with solid, dark colors, like navy blue.

Dark denim always feels kind of dressier to me, so you may be able to pull that off depending on what kind of vibe you're going for. I would stay away from really light-colored denim, though.

The most common mistake I see women make is wearing leggings that are too sheer and/or inappropriate undergarments.

If you have dry skin, make sure to cleanse and moisturize daily, or even twice a day. Buy cleanser and moisturizer specially formulated for dry skin.

Check with someone to see what face shape you resemble most. Often, you will match up with one, and there are also more shapes than the ones listed.

You can curl your hair, try wearing it up more, or try braids. You could also change your part, depending on your face shape.

Make sure you get plenty of sleep. You can reduce dark circles by putting slices of cucumbers or used, cooled teabags over your eyes for 30 minutes or so. A little bit of concealer can make them less obvious.

Pick light-colored clothes that fit well. You can also combine a fitted top with baggier jeans, or the other way around.

Dress in nice clothes when you first meet with family. For men, wear khakis or chinos (jeans aren’t as formal) and a button-down shirt. For women, wear dress pants or skirt and a nice blouse.

There are many different styles to choose from, but look for one that suits you hair length and face shape. For round faces, a shorter messier look goes well. For a heart-shaped face, wear your hair down, etc.

You can also try exfoliating your elbows. Use either an exfoliating scrub (you can purchase one, or even make your own), or an exfoliating brush or glove. After exfoliating, rub moisturizer into your elbows. You can use a body lotion or oil. If this doesn't help, you can go to a dermatologist, where they may prescribe you a cream to help reduce the dryness. They will also be able to determine if a skin condition (such as eczema) is causing your dry elbows.

If you're talking about a haircut, then use soft but defined layers. If you're talking about styles, I would try playing around with styles such as halfway-up, braids, high ponytail, etc.

Try a soft look with defined layers, and as for styles, try halfway-up, high ponytail or braid styles; these would look good!

Wash your face thoroughly with soap and use moisturizers and acne treatments, such as Proactive, if possible.

Having your hair shaved doesn't make you any less of a woman. In fact, as model and beauty influencer Denise Bidot says, “There's no wrong way to be a woman.” That's absolutely true! However, if you desire to feel extra feminine, you could always experiment with makeup, wear dresses, cute jeans, high-heels, etc. At the end of the day, just be yourself.

You could put your hair up in a bun, which would look great. Or, if you don't like the curls, you could straighten it.

Check thrift stores! There are a lot of good deals to be found there. Another good option is to invest in a sewing machine so you can make and/or alter your own clothes. This will be cheaper in the long run, and since it sounds like you already have a good idea what styles you like, you'll be able to make things that are uniquely perfect for you.

Put a spoon in the freezer for a night and put in on your red spots for 30 seconds. You can also try flexing parts of your body for at least 40 seconds, pushing blood to that spot from your red spots.

Apply face cream regularly to the face. Applying it right after washing your face isn’t a good idea though, so apply face cream at least a few minutes after washing your face.
