    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.

    How can I look good if I don't have any of the faces in the article?

    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.

    What kind of hairstyle can I have if I have long, straight, brown hair and don't want to cut it?

    You can curl your hair, try wearing it up more, or try braids. You could also change your part, depending on your face shape.
  • Question
    I have dark circles. How can I get rid of them?
    Community Answer
    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.

    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.
  • Question
    Which hairstyle should I choose?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    I have dry skin on my elbows and I tried using cream but it didn't work, what do I do?
    Top Answerer
    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.

  • Question
    How do I be a lady when I have my hair shaved?
    Breathe Johnson
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How do I pick the right style if I have kinky hair and a large forehead?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How do I deal with not having enough money for clothes that I think will look good on me?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How do I get rid of redness on my face without makeup?
    Community Answer
    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.
  • Question
    How do I treat dry skin on my face if washing it doesn't work?
    Community Answer
    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.
