Why Is It Important For People To Look At Your Eyes

The eye is the jewel of the body – Henry David Thoreau

Why is it important for people to look at your eyes? Looking at someone’s eyes is an important part of communication and social interaction. Here are a few reasons why: 

1. Eye contact signals engagement and interest. When you make eye contact with someone, it shows that you are paying attention to them and interested in what they are saying or doing. This can help build trust and rapport with the other person.

2. Eye contact conveys emotion. Our eyes are one of the most expressive parts of our face. They can convey a wide range of emotions, from joy and happiness to sadness and anger. When you make eye contact with someone, you can better understand their emotional state and respond appropriately.

3. Eye contact improves listening. When you make eye contact with someone while they are speaking, you are more likely to focus on what they are saying and retain the information. This can improve communication and help avoid misunderstandings.

4. Eye contact can help establish authority. Making direct eye contact can help establish authority and assertiveness. This is particularly important in professional settings, such as job interviews or business meetings.

How To Find Your Style After 40 Years Old

Finding your personal style after 40 years old can be a fun and exciting process.

How To Find Your Style After 40 Years Old? Here are some tips to help you discover your style:

1. Identify your body type: As we age, our bodies change, and it’s essential to understand what styles will flatter your body type. Knowing your body type will help you find clothes that fit you well and make you feel comfortable and confident. 

2. Evaluate your current wardrobe: Take a look at your current wardrobe and evaluate what you love and what you don’t. Donate or sell items that you no longer wear or that don’t suit your style. 

3. Experiment with new styles: Don’t be afraid to try new styles and trends. Start with small changes, such as adding a new accessory or experimenting with a new colour, and see how you feel. Have fun with it and enjoy trying different looks. You never know there may be an outfit or accessory you hadn’t thought would look or feel so good.

4. Invest in quality pieces: Invest in quality pieces that will last for years and can be mixed and matched with other items in your wardrobe. Look for classic styles that will never go out of fashion. 

5. Take inspiration from others: Look for style inspiration from people you admire or follow online. You can also try new outfits and styles by shopping with a stylist or personal shopper. 

Moana Robinson The Sassy Stylist from B Styled for Life can help you with Colour and Style challenges including suggestions for clothing and accessories for your lifestyle, body shape and body proportions. Contact Moana today to enquire about booking a session either online or in person.

Why Buy Pre-Loved Clothing

There are so many benefits to buying pre-loved clothing.

If you explore some of the vintage or pre-loved clothing stores you can find some wonderful, exciting bargains at a fraction of the price that the brand new item would be. Quite often clothing is donated which is brand new or hardly worn at all. Some items still have the original price tag on when it is donated. Many items may have been donated simply because the previous owner changed their mind or decided they did not suit that garment because of preference, lifestyle, colouring, size or style personality.  

Benefits of Buying Pre-Loved Clothing

If you haven’t explored the possibilities of browsing through your local pre-loved clothing store maybe this is an opportunity to see why so many people are moving towards this eco friendly way of shopping which helps to reduce waste for for our planet.  

Benefits of Buying Pre-Loved Clothing

Take a look at the Top 5 Benefits of Purchasing Pre-Loved Clothing 

You can save literally hundreds of dollars especially if you are someone who likes to vary their wardrobe a lot.

1. If you like to have a lot of choice in your outfits every day this is a very economical way to expand your wardrobe. 

2. Many pre-loved clothing shoppers discover unique and interesting items which are no longer available in mainstream stores and boutiques.

3. Pre-loved clothing has already been washed and therefore there is less likelihood of any surprise shrinkage or fading. What you see with the garment is what you get and if you go to a quality store the clothing is clean and selected for sale accordingly. 

4. By purchasing pre-loved clothing you are not contributing to the demand for new clothing production which often involves unethical labour practices and environmental harm. Recycling clothing is eco friendly as it helps reduce waste for our planet. 

5. The major benefit of shopping for pre-loved clothing is that you are helping the community. For example, f you shop at a charity store such as Safe Haven Emporium which is located at The Oasis Shopping Centre, Broadbeach you are supporting  Safe Haven Community which helps women suffering domestic violence and family abuse.

Do You have a short body and long legs?

No body is perfect as perfection does not exist. I believe knowing yourself and wearing comfortable clothes with your unique style and confidence are keys to feeling and looking great  — Moana Robinson, B Styled for Life

Illustration of figure and measurement

What to Wear | Short Body Long Legs

  • The length of your torso is the distance from the top of your head to the crotch.
  • The length of your legs is the distance from your crotch to your feet.
  • Whether you are tall or short your legs may be very long in proportion to your body. Whatever your measurements we are all unique and it is about creating balance and finding styles to suit that are comfortable.

You can work out whether you have a short torso and long legs by standing up straight with bare feet and have someone measure you or have a photo taken directly in front of you to work this out. Photographs are an easy way to visually see this yourself and work out the measurement difference.

Here are some great tips to find styles to balance your proportions if you have a short body and long legs

womens legs in bright tights and yellow socks

Many people may say “You are so lucky to have a short body and long legs” as they may wish they had longer legs.

The stereotype of a model figure seems to be a short body and long legs.  You may be experiencing a lot of frustration though as it is not always as easy for you as many think.

The stereotype of a model figure seems to be someone with long legs. However models are usually tall and will have standard body proportions so that they always fit the clothing being modelled. However if you are petite which is usually 5’3″ or under it can sometimes be challenging to find clothing to feel comfortable and look good especially if you are also short-waisted. Even shopping in the petites section of a clothing range can sometimes be frustrating because the length of the trousers may be too short. If you have a short body and long legs there are a few ways to balance your proportions.

Some style tips for dressing your short body and long legs are:

Trousers

  • Wear low to mid rise pants. Mid rise is just below your belly button
  • Wear light wash or coloured denim or coloured pants to draw more attention downwards and away from your shorter body.
  • Flowing pants will be flattering and can easily be worn if you have longer legs.
  • Denims with detail around the hem can be worn.
  • Cropped pants are easy to wear and can be worn casually or can look more dressy depending on shoes and top worn with them.
  • Cuffed pants or jeans with detail around the hem can be worn successfully whereas someone with shorter legs would not suit these.

Dresses

  • Tie waisted dresses will be flattering and give you more shape at the waist
  • Drop waisted dresses and tops will give you more length through the mid section
  • Shift dresses are flattering and the length can vary depending on your height
  • Faux wrap dresses in an A line shape defines your shape and look good on many figures
  • Ruching is one of the best details on a dress to camoflauge any unbalanced body proportions
  • Dresses will disguise any short or long proportion differences as no-one can see where your body finishes and the legs start

Tops

  • Tops with vertical lines will look good on you as this will elongate the body
  • Tops will be best untucked
  • If a top is worn with flowing pants something sleek like a tank or wide strapped singlet top is good
  • If you prefer to cover the arms ensure the top isn’t too bulky and full if worn with flowing pants
  • Avoid crop tops as this will make your body look even shorter
  • Mock turtle neck tops will add length to your torso – as long as your neck isn’t too short
  • Tunic tops are great and are very easy to wear
  • Detail on the shoulders such as ties or epaulettes on the shoulders draw the eye upwards around the shoulder area.
  • Tank tops with thick straps are best because you want to make your top like one long piece. Thin straps that show more skin will make that block of colour more obvious and show that it covers a smaller area
  • Button up collared short sleeved tops adds a little bit of height to the top of your torso.
  • Halter tops are great for short torsos because it creates that colour block all the way up to the neck area
  • Graphic t shirts can be worn loose and comfortable and look trendy for a casual look to add to the top area
  • Short sleeves and capped sleeves draw the eye upwards
  • Strapless and off the shoulder tops minimises the colour block at the top of your torso
  • Draped tops with a V neck will elongate the neck and lengthen the torso
  • Chunky or textured tops or jumpers will be adaptable as you can adjust where the bulk goes.

Accessories and Other Great Tips to Balance Proportions

  • Longer necklaces and earrings will look good
  • Skinny belts rather than wide belts will make your torso look longer. Rope belts, chain belts and anything that is thinner without shortening the top part of your body wil look best
  • Darker coloured shoes can be worn with lighter pants, skirts or dresses – although wearing shoes similar to your hair colour is usually a good idea to create a loop effect if your legs are very long then you can get away with wearing dark shoes even with light hair
  • Ankle boots or shoes with an ankle strap will make your legs look shorter
  • White sneakers will make your feet look a little more prominent. Also metallic or coloured shoes
  • Avoid high waists or empire lines in dresses and tops
  • Ensure that you wear a supportive bra to lift yourself up
  • Ensure Blazers or jackets end at  your hips or below

Do You have a Long Body and Shorter Legs

Body proportions vary from person to person as we are all so unique and individual – Thank goodness for that — Moana Robinson, B Styled for Life

Illustration of figure and measurement

What to Wear | Long Body Short Legs

  • The length of your torso is the distance from the top of your head to the crotch.
  • The length of your legs is the distance from your crotch to your feet.
  • This is a very common body type and it doesn’t matter whether you are tall or short. Body proportions can still vary greatly.

You can work out whether you have a long torso and short legs by standing up straight with bare feet and have someone measure you or have a photo taken directly in front of you to work this out. Photographs are an easy way to visually see this yourself and work out the measurement difference.

Here are some great tips to visually balance your proportions if you have a longer torso and shorter legs

Think about keeping the length of your top shorter

Keep skirt lengths shorter

High waisted trousers are best

Patterned tops are going to draw the eye upwards. If you are wearing patterned skirts or pants use some colour from the pattern in the top of your body garment.

Wear shoes a similar colour to pants and skirts which will make legs look longer. Nude shoes also make the legs look longer.

Adding detail at the waist will be flattering such as wearing wide or statement belts or try tucking tops or shirts in at the waist. This breaks up the area of the torso.

Avoid long tops and cropped pants. Keep in mind that this will make your torso look longer

Empire waists and A Line skirts are great as it is not easy to see where the torso ends and the legs start.

Wearing belts in the same fabric or colour as your pants or skirt can elongate your legs and shorten the torso

One piece outfits such as jumpsuits are good especially if they are all one colour.

Keep jackets shorter and avoid high contrast tops and bottoms which tends to cut you in half.

Which Red Lipstick Suits Me Best?

red lipstick

“Heels and red lipstick will put the fear of God into people.” – Dita Von Teese

red lipstickWomen with light skins look best in light and bright red lipsticks. Lipstick colours will suit you or not depending on your skin tone. Many red lipsticks are available on the market. An image consultant helps in providing tips for your best red lipstick colour. Red lipstick colours vary in tints and shades.

Dark Red Lipstick

red lipstickDeep red lipstick looks best on medium to dark skinned women. The dark red colour is congruent with the dark skin tone. According to colour psychology, dark colours may represent femininity and power.

 

Deep and Bright Red Lipsticks

People with darker skin can look good with both deep and bright red lipsticks depending on their undertone. Undertone is the pigment in your skin. Bright red lipstick colours may complement  and display elegance to some darker skin tones.

Skin Undertone

Skin undertone is the main factor to consider when choosing a red lipstick. Undertone or your skin’s pigments affects your overall skin tone. You can  have a cool undertone, warm undertone or neutral undertones. Here are some tips:

  • Cool Undertone-  Blue-based red shades suit cool undertoned skin. Tbis type of shade looks great for pale skin tones.
  • Warm Undertone-  Gold or peach red shades suit warm undertoned skin. Wearing a soft same coloured blush may intensify your warm undertone. Putting on your red lipstick colour creates a natural glow.
  • Neutral Undertone- Use a lip liner colour darker than your red lipstick. A vareity of red lipsticks suit this skin undertone.

How to test your red lipstick for cool undertone?

Applying a very light layer of a red lipstick first is the best way to tell if you suit your red lipstick. If it has a pink look to it then it is most likely a cool toned red which suits cool undertoned skin. Warm reds include brick reds, coral or peach reds and fire engine red colours.  Moana Robinson can provide more tips on how to look your best wearing red lipsticks.

Lipstick Colour Tone

Remember that the right red lipstick has something to do with your skin undertone. Otherwise, the result looks different from what you expected. Things to remember:

  • Cool red lipstick will make people with warm undertones look pale or washed out.
  • When a warm red lipstick applies to a cool skin undertone, the complexion becomes unwell and sallow. 

Red Lipstick on Neutral Skin Tone

A neutral undertone is your underneath skin colour having the same colour as your skin surface. Take note that your undertone is not the same as your skin tone. Skin tone is the colour of your naked skin. People with neutral skin whether they have dark skin or light skin can wear blue-based or yellow/orange-toned red lipsticks.

Colour Swatch

red lipstickImage consultants like Moana always ask their clients to remove the makeup before using the colour swatch. A Colour swatch is a palette tool that contains a variety of shades for each colour. At the consultation you receive your own personalised colour swatch which contains approxiamtely 50 different colours to suit your hair, skin and eyes. The colour swatch comes with a handy purse and a detailed booklet which Moana goes through in details so that you understand why you suit certain colours and may not suit other colours. In the meantime take this quiz which Moana has developed to find out your undertone.

Which Red Lipstick Suits Most People

red lipstickClassic red is the safest to suit most people. Beauticians and image consultants recommend this type of red lipstick for beginners. Hydrating and long-wearing “classic” red lipsticks are convenient for more women.

How to Wear Colours: Black

how to wear black

How to wear black— I find, in being black, a thing of beauty: a joy; a strength; a secret cup of gladness. — Ossie Davis

Do you know when to choose and how to wear black clothes? Imagine going to a seminar or conference and seeing a mass of black clothes everywhere. The best way to stand out in a crowd like this  is to wear coloured accessories in your signature colours.

Tips on Standing out in a Crowd

Listen to Moana Robinson’s interview on Presentation Boss for tips on standing out in a crowd of corporate workers when most people will wear black. Click and play the podcast below:

Top Tips for Public Speaking and What to Wear

Here is a blog and video from Moana when she was given an amazing public speaking opportunity to give a TED Talk. Wearing clothes in colours that suit you and suit the occasion makes creating that first impression so much easier. 

Black is an achromatic colour.

Achromatic means a colour without a hue. Like white and grey, black is considered neutral. Technically, it is a shade rather than a colour. A black object absorbs all the colours of the spectrum. Moreover, it reflects none of them to the eyes.

Dark Colours Can Make you Look Slimmer.

Many people wear black to look thinner. Think of an image. One is a solid black box. The other image is a solid white box. Which looks heavier? The solid black box looks heavier. Looking slimmer in black can depend on the cut and style of the clothing.  Because dark colours are receding and lighter colours are the first colours you see it does pay to wear darker colours on any areas you would like to draw attention away from and lighter colours to highlight or bring forward other areas. Ideally it is always good to wear lighter colours up towards the face.

How to Wear Black For the Most Flattering Effect

Wearing black can depend on whether the outfit is fitted or loose. A black dress can be very flattering if it is the right fit. Loose clothing can actually add to a person’s size if it is too voluminous.

Cool Undertone and Warm Undertone

People with a cool undertone will generally suit black better than people with a warm undertone.

Shiny, Matt, and Charcoal Black

The texture of the black material makes a difference. Shiny black material looks darker than matt black material. Very textured  black fabric can sometimes look like faded black or charcoal grey.

  • Psychologically can be associated with sadness and negativity
  • Shows up  lint or fluff

  • Humid and hot in summer. Darker material absorbs heat. 

Power, Authority, and the Colour Black

In the 14th century, only wealthy people and kings could afford high-quality black dyed garments. A symbol of power and importance was designated to the colour black. Nowadays, Judges and Barristers in Court wear black.

Focused and Driven — How to Wear Black

Steve Jobs always wore black turtle neck shirts and blue jeans. He did this so that he didn’t have to think about what to wear every day. According to Insider, wearing black saves decision fatigue.

The Little Black Dress by Coco Chanel

Coco Chanel was known for coining the term “the little black dress” or “LBD”. LBD showed up in a lot of her designs. Based on Wikipedia, women could have at least one in their wardrobe today.

Women in Black and the Corporate World

Moana Robinson used to work in a legal office. She frequently wore black dresses, different corporate jackets in colours to suit and accessories as this was quick and easy for travelling to work in the city on the train after taking children to school and daycare before and after work.

The Art of Wearing Black

You’ve got to be willing to mix black into your palette if you want to create something that’s real. — Amy Grant

The trick to wearing black if it is not in your colour palette is to wear it away from the face. Use accessories such as scarves and jewellery to draw the eyes up to the face and detract from the black.

Skin Tone and How to Wear Black

Sheer fabric or lace worn around the decolletage area with some skin showing through will soften the black colour.
