So many women have beautiful grey eyes and choosing the right makeup for them is not difficult. But of course there are some important details you might not know about.

When selecting the pallete for your shadows take into account your skin color type and think of the effect you want to achieve. So, if you are a warm type and you wish to accentuate your eyes your choice should be limited to golden, bronze, and sand colors. In case you want to focus on the complexion opt for shadows and eyeliners of cold tones: green, turquoiuse, blue, aqua, violet and rosy.

Thigh high boots are so IN this season. I love thigh-high boots and looks like celebs share my fashion views.

The latest to show her thigh-high style was Blake Lively filming scenes for The Gossip Girl in New York earlier this week. She donned a pair of thigh high leather boots, black leggings and checked blazer to complete a chic downtown girl look. I loved the heels, so fab!

Spring is almost over, and the fashion world is buzzing about the best makeup colors for fall 2009.

For the eyes, one of the top fall 2009 makeup trends is rich, dark colors. Purple will be one of the best fall makeup colors, whether on the eyes or in rich berry colors on the lips – just be sure to pick only one or the other so that you don’t over do it!

Dark greens, browns, and other earthy and forest colors will be hot in fall 2009 eye shadow fashions. The emerging fashion trends emphasize a heavy accent on the eyes. Smoky eyes and dark eye shadow will also continue to be popular, so be sure to invest in some black eye shadow.

Gold and bronze are also among the best fall makeup colors coming up in the fall 2009 season. Dramatic yet feminine, with just a touch of sparkle, metallic eye shadows are sure to impress.

The fall 2009 makeup trends will emphasize either eyes or lips, leaving the other neutral. Keep your lips clean and natural looking with blush pink, brown, or peach lipstick, or lightly apply foundation over lip gloss.

If you’d rather emphasize your lips, bright reds and berry colors are the best fall makeup colors for the 2009 season. Rich reds, ranging from bright crimson to deeper, darkish reds will be popular, and, again, purple may be the hottest upcoming trend of the fall.

For nails, go for gold and bronze or dark purples. Keep the colors rich and dramatic to maintain the high-contrast feel of 2009’s fall beauty trends.

Remember, emphasize either the eyes or the lips, not both. Leave the rest of your face neutral, with just a light application of foundation and maybe a minimal brush of mascara. The natural look is in for eyebrows, so be careful not to over-tweeze.

Keep the contrasts high this fall. Makeup colors for fall 2009 will be either very bright and dramatic or very neutral and clean. Highlight your eyes with dark, smoky eye shadow, rich purples or earth tones, or dramatic metallic eye shadow and leave your lips light and neutral with
pink, peach, and light brown lipstick colors. Alternately, use just a touch of mascara and a light application of black eye shadow and bring out your lips with juicy berry colors, deep purples, and bright reds.

Follow these guidelines and you’ll be looking great for the fall 2009 fashion season!

When chunky heels were popular in the 90’s, we wore them with everything. Now, the general rule of thumb is to wear chunky heels as a contrast to a slim-fitting outfit.

Pants

Chunky heels under boot-cut jeans is just too clunky. When you wear chunky heels, your pants should stop at your ankle or slimly cover only the top edge of your heel.
Wear chunky heels with skinny jeans, leggings or cropped pants.

Dresses

As we saw this Spring, chunky heels look great with bare legs. Again, it’s the contrast of the chunkiness combined with the thinness of the leg that makes these heels work. For Fall, wear chunky heels with a full skirt for a super feminine look. Or, for something more sophisticated, wear chunky heels with a pencil or tulip skirt. Just make sure your hemline is no longer than knee length. To keep warm, wear a pair of tights.

Types of Chunky Heels

You can find chunky heels in other varieties, but the following are the most popular and stylish.

Chunky Heeled Oxfords
Chunky Heeled Mary-Janes
Chunky Heeled Sandals
Chunky Heeled Ankle Boots
Chunky Heeled Tall Boots

Well, we all know that there are a few body shapes we all belong to. The list includes: hourglass, pear, apple and boyish shapes. Of course any of these shapes, except hourglass one, have some ‘problem areas’ a woman might want to hide. Let’s speak about those and try to determine how to choose lingerie to make the most of any figure.

Hour Glass shape

As I have already mentioned you are lucky to have this figure type. Your curves and a small waistline look feminine and sexy in any lingerie. I would say there is nothing you can’t wear. But the best for you is a corset as it extra-emphasizes your sexy hips and a tiny waist. Solid colors and prints, embroidery and other details – all these will make you look gorgeous!

Everyone who has straight hair seems pretty evident that curls are the gift of nature. Then why do the curly-haired women complain about the unruly character of the locks and dream to straighten them up?

The appearance of hair depends on the form of the hair follicle. People with curly hair, it reminds a coma. The hair grown out of this follicle is curled as well that’s why it has a more porous structure.

Keratin cuticle of hair covering it from the outside distributed unevenly bristles all the time and unprotected against the dust, smog, rain and snow. It’s also the reason why they don’t shine almost. They are dry and split a lot along the hair. But the roots of the curls are inclined to the greasiness.

One more problem of this hair is the much talked-about “dandelion effect”: short walk under the rain or at the damp weather (after a hard styling!) – and you get a mop of hair!

Thigh-length boots, known also as thigh-high boots or simply thigh boots, are boots that extend above the knees. Other synonyms include over-the-knee boots (OTK boots), and especially when cuffed, pirate boots. Lengths vary from reaching just over the knee to reaching almost to the crotch (referred to as crotch boots).

Like all boots, thigh boots are made of different materials ranging from various leathers, to various synthetic materials (vinyl, polyurethane, or latex), to various fabrics (silk, polyester microfiber). Many are constructed with zippers for ease of entry, but some are constructed as pull-on boots. Heel heights vary, but the majority are sold either as flats or with heels greater than three inches (7.5 cm). Heel styles vary from metal spikes to chunky. Like other boots, they can also have platform soles.

Thigh boots are considered by many to be erotic or kinky. They are used as fetish clothing in boot fetishism and shoe fetishism. Cheaper thigh boots are often worn by prostitutes and professional dominatrices, so many people consider them icons of such trades. Because of the latter they are often associated with sadomasochism. Nevertheless, they are frequently sold by couture designers, perhaps because of the implied eroticism.

Fall 2009 over the knee boots

The Fall 2009 fashion season featured thigh boots as a key fashion accessory for the season.[2] They were shown in two different feature layouts in the September issue of Vogue.[3][4] Numerous couture fashion designers featured them in their ready-to-wear collections, including:

* Celine
* Chloé
* Gucci
* Halston

* Prada
* Stella McCartney

Christian Louboutin marketed no less than four different styles in Fall 2009 — a front-lacing mid-thigh length with sculpted heel and hidden platform, a crotch-length, skin-tight boot with hidden platform, a chunky mid-thigh boot, and a chunky platform mid-thigh boot.

Pop Music Costuming

One of the riskiest things that you could ever do in public is wear see thru swimwear. These swimsuits are made of a very thin, flimsy and transparent material. In most cases this type of swimwear will appear transparent whether wet or dry. That said, see-through bikinis, monokinis, and even one-pieces should not be worn by the faint of heart.

Types of swimsuits

This beachwear come in different degrees of transparency. Mesh is one type of bathing apparel that offers a degree of coverage when dry. This pieces can be made of crocheted material although vinyl and metal mesh bathing suits are also popular.

Another type of see-through beachwear is the translucent swimsuit. These are made of very thin Lycra and can be completely transparent when wet.

The ultimate in see-through pieces is the see-through swimsuit. Whether you are dry or wet, everything underneath is visible. Such bathing suits are often made of clear vinyl although nylon is also a popular alternative.

Common mistakes when wearing this kind of bathing suit

You can commit a lot of mistakes when wearing something as skimpy as this piece of beachwear. Here are some of the most common ones and how to avoid them.

• Wearing provocative swimwear in prohibited areas

This kind of swimwear, along with very small bikini bottoms may not be allowed in most public beaches, especially in family beaches, resorts, and cruises. These pieces should be worn only in private, in nude and semi-nude beaches, or in your own backyard.

If you happen to bring a skimpy piece to a public family beach, make sure that you wear a cover-up when walking around and stay out of the water.

• Forgetting to shave

If you plan on wearing skimpy items, get a Brazilian wax first. Shaving should be a priority with wearing bikinis of all types, whether they are transparent or not. An unshaven crotch will definitely be a turn-off and will likely get you the kind of attention that you want to avoid.

• Not wearing enough sunblock

Although it is now common practice to slather on sunblock when at the beach, some people still forget to do so. If they do, they do not apply enough and they end up getting a nasty sunburn as a result. A common mistake is forgetting to apply sunblock on the covered areas. Because the material is sheer or transparent, you are still likely to get sunburn in these areas, so cover them with sunblock as well.
