Re: How Do I Be Sexy?
(Anonymous) 2015-02-28 09:22 am (UTC)(link)1) as someone with curves let me tell you that I have a keen appreciation (and quite a lot of envy) forhow good someone with few curves can look. What you want to do is quit wearing stuff like pencil skirts and form fitting clothes if it's not working for you. That's what those of us with curves have to wear so as not to look like a block of material.
You can get away with a whole different range of clothes. Not having curves is your blessing, dude. Start playing it up.
So here's my advice to you: throw out all your assumptions about what is and isn't sexy. We all know having an hourglass figure is a good look but it's far from the only good look.
Mirrors, cameras, whatever, use whatever to see your body from all angles and figure out what features you like and think look best. Then get yourself on a site like pinterest and find a whole bunch of clothes that look good on people with similar body types and/or show off the features you like on yourself.
Next head to the shops and try on new styles. Don't limit yourself, just dive in there. But do bear in mind that you are picking clothes to make your body lok good, not someone else's. There will always be the temptation to backslide into buying clothes for the body we want instead of the bodies we have.
2) the makeup issue. Don't sweat it. If too much doesn't work then there are ways round it. Because it can be a number of reasons it's not working for you though I recommend google, online tutorials, blogs like Maskcara, copying looks from pinterest, and maybe trying a free session at a concessions counter (though those can be hit and miss). Just be prepared to be critical of yourself- acknowledge what isn't working - and enjoy experimenting in the privacy of your own bathroom. :)
3) Looking sexy is no set formula. Dress for you and when you want to make an effort show off your favorite features. E.g. sexy shoulders? Strap tops. Sexy neck? Choker. Sexy legs? Pretty much anything.
Same goes for makeup. If you've got great lips, eyes, play them up. Don't play everything up at once though unless you can make it work for you.
If you look closely at pictures of people who look good online you'll see that looking good is all about accenting the sexy stuff and playing down any bits you don't think look good.
4) figure out if you're wearing the right colors. It can make a lot of difference. It's determined by the undertones of your skin and usually means people look better in either bluer (cold) or redder (warm) colors. Sometimes that can be an eye opener.
5) Finally there are only two set things that the majority of the population find sexy: looking healthy (esp hair and skin) and looking happy. So the best thing you can do is treat yourself kindly, love your body and dress for you. IIt's a habit that will always pay off for you. :)
