Understanding Plus Size Fashion Segments

by admin

As fashion and plus size evolve into a recognized and (soon-to-be) respected segment in fashion, so do the idiosyncrasies and nuances of fashion itself, as it pertains to plus size.

You see, ten years ago, plus size only belonged in one lump segment, leaving us fashionistas with very little or if any options for shopping and discerning which pieces were of a “fashionable” standard. However, now, with the amalgamation (yes, I had to use this word) and plethora of fashions within plus size clothing, one could easily find herself lost, frustrated, confused, irritated, or flustered when shopping for an ideal outfit or piece of clothing.

Why?

We no longer have “one type” of fashion option for the plus size woman- we have many. However, to better understand and sort through the madness of them all, a budding fashionista must first understand what these newer segments are and learn the identifiers of these to shop smarter, not harder.

What Are The Different Types Of Eye Shadows?

by admin

Many women are not aware that there are different types of eye shadows. Each type of shadow serves a different purpose and will look different on your eye. When a woman goes shopping for an eye shadow and makes decisions just by the color, she may be disappointed when she tries it on for the first time. It would be worth while to be knowledgeable about the different types before making a purchase, especially since make up can get pretty pricey. Below are the four different types of eye shadows and their benefits.

Matte: Matte has no shimmer or gloss in it, so if you’re getting a shadow simply for the color, get matte. It has a high concentration of color in it, so it stays on longer and you don’t need to put as much of it on as other types of shadow. Matte eye shadow is great to wear if you’re going for a natural look, and it’s also good when layering with other colors.

Frosted: Frosted eye shadow means that there is going to be some shimmer and sparkle in the color. It is usually tinted with a white or silver finish. Frosted shadow looks nice when applied on top of another color, just to give it a little sparkle. If you want to wear it by itself, you should use a primer first and then apply the frosted shadow on top. You can also use concealer for the same effect. Frosted shadow can be very light and pale, so this will help it stay on longer and you can see the color better. » Read more: What Are The Different Types Of Eye Shadows?
