How to Dress Your Body Type + A Monroe and Main Giveaway!

181 Replies

This is a Fashionista Event Opportunity hosted by Still Blonde after all these YEARS and Modly Chic.

There are a few keys to making your wardrobe the best it can be and at the top of the list is choosing the right clothing for your body shape. The right clothes can accentuate your assets, balance your shape and flatter your figure.

The tricky part to utilizing this key strategy is figuring out your body shape. Monroe and Main is here to help! They have created a fun infographic series on How to Dress Your Body Type. This informative series will guide you through taking your measurements, help you identify your shape, explain shape wear, and teach you to dress for your shape with colors and prints.

No matter your size or body shape, shape wear can make your dresses look better. We all have little lumps and bumps that can make a sleek dress less flattering. It is amazing the difference a piece of shape wear can make in your completed look.

I followed the Monroe and Main infographic series on How to Dress Your Body Type, took my measurements and determined I am a hybrid rectangle/triangle. With that in mind, I headed to Monroe and Main to pick out some new items for my closet.

I started with the base for my outfit and chose the Fit For Love Control Slip. This is definitely PRETTY shapewear! It has romantic lace on the sides and front and back panels that gently shape. It’s just perfect for clingy dresses.

Then it was on to the dresses! With warm summer weather on its way, I love easy, breezy dresses that I can slip on for everyday wear. The Zelda dress is perfect for that. It is lightweight in rayon and super comfortable. It’s also easy to dress up for wearing beyond my daily errands. (I will of course steam out the wrinkles before then!)

I also like to keep some special occasion dresses in my closet – especially new dresses that haven’t already been seen in a dozen Facebook photos! Next time I have an event, I will be ready with this Bejeweled Sheath Dress. I love the bright jewel tone and the accent of jewels on the band at the waist. It’s another dress that is still comfortable, but ready for a night out or an upscale brunch.

For more information about dressing for your body type, check out this handy Pinterest board.

Reader Giveaway: One lucky Jinxy Beauty reader will win a “How to Dress Your Body Type Kit” which will include the Monroe and Main measuring tape and a $185 Monroe and Main shopping spree for shapewear and an outfit! To enter, just complete the entry form by 11:59pm ET on 5/31/14.

After you enter here, be sure to visit all the other blogs linked up below. Each one will be giving away a prize pack – 25 prize packs in total!

How To Wear Shimmer Makeup This Season

1 Reply

These days we have so many makeup products to choose from to give our skin a shimmery glow. You might be wrinkling up your nose and thinking, “Why would I want shimmer? I’m not ten years old!!” Well, a little shimmer and sparkle isn’t just for kids. Follow these tips from beautystoredepot.com to use shimmer to your advantage.

* Look for sheer options. Opt for lightweight shimmer products, not heavy, opaque, “frosty” makeup.

* Focus on one feature. You’ll surely look like you got into mommy’s makeup if you have heavy shimmer and shine on your eyes, cheeks AND lips. Pick one feature to shine.

* Go light-handed with application. Unless you’re going for a costume look, apply products lightly. If you are going for a natural shimmering glow, then here is where you can add a little to the cheeks and the eyes – just don’t overdo it!

* Try a multi-use highlighter. Yes, it can be daunting at first, but one great highlighter can do so many jobs. GloMinerals GloHighlighter can be applied before or after your foundation depending on how subtle you want your glow. Apply it to cheekbones, the brow bone, inner corner of eye or the center of lips for a hint of shine.

* Avoid shimmer on certain areas. Applying shimmer products to fine lines, wrinkles or blemishes will only highlight them, and that’s definitely not the goal here. However, a lightweight powder like Pur Minerals Afterglow Illuminating Powder contains the natural shimmer of mica to actually reflect light away from your imperfections.

* Always blend! This is the key to making your shimmer look natural. Use a GloMinerals GloTools Cream Blush Brush for creamy or liquid products and a GloMinerals GloTools Fan Brush for powder formulas. And be sure to only use this brush for your sparkling products, otherwise you’ll end up with shimmer everywhere, all the time.

How do you wear shimmer makeup? I’d love to hear your ideas! Here’s a hot tip: through 4/19 you can take $10 off orders $49+ at beautystoredepot.com with code UPICK10 at checkout. FREE SHIPPING, too!
