The Best Sheer Lipstick
A more common tale never was told. You aren't really a lipstick girl but lately you've found that of the odd 296 tinted lip balms you've purchased, none has lived up to the super pigmented hoopla you so hoped was true. But full-on lipstick? Too full-coverage. And lip-stains don't give you the shine you crave. For everything you could have ever wished for ... sheer lipstick saves the day. Classic

You don't need to go around looking like a hairy ape when you can wax away those pesky hairs for a smooth and sleek look. If you have never waxed, don't be intimidated by the process. Waxing may seem involved and painful, but you can totally do it yourself with outstanding results. When you wax, you can be fuzz-free for three to six weeks, which makes it well worth the time spent.

Floral Prints
Flirty, feminine and most definitely fun, floral prints are always a favorite pattern for spring. Lately it seems like everywhere we look, these cheerful prints are popping up in full bloom. There's a pretty pattern for everyone, and almost as many ways to wear them. Stylist and fashion expert Laurie Brucker explains your options to pull off this trend for your body shape and tailor it to complement your own personal style. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_bb4c3ec3759088.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/actress-kerry-washington-3/" target="_blank">Actress Kerry Washington </a> Kerry always looked perfectly polished and fashion-forward, and this darling number is no exception. Here, she pulls off not only one floral pattern, but two! "There is one major rule to stick to when mixing patterns: they must be different scales of pattern. This creates depth and interest. Kerry's Dolce and Gabanna ensemble nails this concept by perfectly pairing larger rosy blossoms with a smaller poppy pattern on top. When they meet together, it's all chic!" enthuses Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_7c3b7a620b2a3f.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/kim-kardashian-2/" target="_blank">Kim Kardashian</a> For dreary days that feel more like winter than spring, follow Kim's lead and balance a floral print with opaque black pairings. "This is a great way to update the florals already in your closet. Adding a pop of floral on a less than sunny day can only do one thing--make you smile!" says Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_845e14fc3977be.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/actress-emmy-rossum/" target="_blank">Actress Emmy Rossum </a> Emmy looks perfectly poised and ladylike in this elegant floral top. Take a tip from Brucker when it comes to choosing a neckline and your accessories: "Floral prints in a high neckline can be overbearing at times, so perfectly paired jewelry is key to an effortlessly stylish look. Stick to a single jewelry focal point, with lips to match like Emmy did. Her precious stone drop earrings with just a splash of red do just the trick." <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_82f79a6262e7dc.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/actress-minnie-driver-1/" target="_blank">Actress Minnie Driver </a> Minnie flatters her figure in a strapless floral dress with a sweetheart neckline and elegant draping. "The style and color of this dress does wonders for Minnie's cool skin tone and dark hair. The charmeuse shade behind the high contrast of black floral lace really accentuates everything," comments Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_6622672234d001.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/actress-kristin-cavallari/" target="_blank">Actress Kristin Cavallari</a> Kristin embodies relaxed southern California style and this floral <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/maxi-dresses-practical-wear/" target="_blank">maxi dress</a> achieves that vibe perfectly. "Kristin's floral dress has a painterly feel with an oversized floral pattern. The strapless draped silhouette and taupe color give her tanned skin and loose wavy blonde hair a sexy, romantic feel," says Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_8c3d3a4b90f9b4.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/kelly-osbourne-1/" target="_blank">Kelly Osbourne </a> Kelly's style has certainly changed over the years but she always maintains a rock n' roll edge to her look. Brucker gives us the inside scoop on how stars often times take their style cues from the runways. "Dolce and Gabanna's Spring 2011 runway was covered in floral printed <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/ways-wear-pencil-skirts/" target="_blank">pencil skirts</a> paired with black and white polka dots. Very sleek, sexy and sophisticated. Kelly's take on this trend has a more young, whimsical approach by using a really cheery floral pattern with a white and black polka dot tube top. By pairing a faded denim cropped shirt on top, she adds a distinctive relaxed 80s feel." <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_e58d00f7856ad8.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/actress-rashida-jones/" target="_blank">Actress Rashida Jones </a> Rashida wowed on the red carpet in this funky floral dress. The unique floral design is painterly and soft and her glamorous makeup look pulls it all together. "I love Rashida's makeup as a complement to her dress. There is something very peppermint-like about the flowers, so by wearing a bright red lip and the accentuation of her eyelashes, her makeup almost mimics the pattern in some ways! Her face is just as fresh as the whimsical carnations she wears," concludes Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_e09777bedbeacb.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/actress-kirsten-dunst-2/" target="_blank">Actress Kirsten Dunst </a> <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_e58d12e1a725ef.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/giuliana-rancic/" target="_blank">Guiliana Rancic </a> Constantly on camera, Giuliana certainly knows a thing or two about style and looking her best in the season's hottest trends. Brucker tells us here why this little number is the perfect summer dress: "The sweetheart shape of the strapless neckline has a feminine touch but the length isn't too short. Dress it up like Guilana with sparkly black heels or take to down to a casual street look with flat sandals. Add some chunky jewelry for the weekend, or a cardigan or <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/5-ways-wear-white-blazer/" target="_blank">blazer at night</a>. It's literally the perfect dress for every occasion!" <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_714547dce3b9e5.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/floral-prints/actress-joy-bryant-1/" target="_blank">Actress Joy Bryant </a> Even when fall rolls around, there's no need to pack up your favorite floral prints.

"Her cut-off black denim shorts are a young and edgy approach to the shorts trend. She really takes the boho rocker look to the next level with her open crochet sweater paired with tousled hair with twisted back bangs. Add the signature peace sign and she's ready for a music festival," comments Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_e1244508e8b050.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/shorts/actress-helena-christensen/" target="_blank">Actress Helena Christensen</a> Helena takes a spin on the red carpet in shorts and proves that with proper styling they can even be appropriate for an evening event. "Her grey silk shorts are the main attraction of her look, but she smartly styles her shorts with a classic blazer and crisp black button-down shirt. It's sexy yet sophisticated and very appropriate for a woman in her 40s," says Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_4a61f531e96803.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/shorts/singer-geri-halliwell/" target="_blank">Singer Geri Halliwell</a> Geri Halliwell looks radiant and relaxed here with her sun-kissed skin, loose hair and monochromatic look. "Her sporty take on the shorts with side tab epaulettes really extend the look of her already long legs. Take the cue from Geri and go with nude heels, but to elongate your legs even more, I would avoid the angle strap," recommends Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_1d9c54315d010e.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/shorts/model-christine-teigen-1/" target="_blank">Model Christine Teigen</a> Christine's look is trendy and sexy, and all around sophisticated. With hints of lace and leopard print, she tones down the sex appeal and adds coverage with an oversized blazer. "Lace is a huge trend for spring 2011 and it makes for a romantic take on the regular short. When you think of lace, innocence comes to mind, but in black it feels a bit more daring. Play that up with pops of leopard print, patent leather and a sexy updo like Christine," says Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_f91dfc36065052.jpg" alt="" width="265" height="400" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/shorts/singer-jennifer-lopez/" target="_blank">Singer Jennifer Lopez</a> Jennifer looks fresh and fun in these high-waisted black shorts. She pairs her look with a cropped blouse and plaid bolero to flaunt her bare midriff. If you are not quite as daring as J. Lo, take Brucker's advice: "Try the high-waisted shorts with an easy tank top tucked in and add a cardigan for an updated 70s vibe. Add a floppy hat and you're ready for the summer sun in style." <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_ca819e96367200.jpg" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/shorts/actress-rachel-bilson-1/" target="_blank">Actress Rachel Bilson</a> Rachel rocks her leather shorts with a feminine chiffon floral blouse for a sophisticated look that mixes soft and hard elements.

Rachel also went classy by covering up on top while revealing a lot of leg," commends Brucker.

The Colors to Wear in the Summer
When summer comes around, it's your time to shine. Wearing bright colors is a way to express yourself. Bold hues also bring staple colors like white, black and nude to life. They look good with all skin tones; they brighten pale skin and accentuate dark skin. Add some color to your wardrobe and bring on the beach because summer is right around the corner. Pink Pink is hot, hot, hot this summer. Available in an array of different hues, there's sure to be a shade that will make you feel hot. Pair it with denim, black or white. To add a pop of color to your outfit, wear pink shoes, jewelry or a cardigan. Think you can't wear pink to work? Think again. Wear a pink top under your suit or a pair of pink <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/kitten-heel-shoes/" target="_blank">kitten heels</a> to sport this trend during work hours. White White is the classic summer color. Not only is it fresh and crisp but it keeps you cool in the harsh summer heat. It also complements all skin tones. For a full figure, try a white <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/video/wear-maxi-dress/" target="_blank">maxi dress</a> to accentuate your curves. Need some curves? Go with a pair of white fitted jeans topped with a black tank. Color Blocking Color blocking is combining different bright colors by wearing one color on top and another on the bottom. Seen all over the runways, this trend works during the day or night. If you want to be more subtle, try pairing a bright-colored skirt with a tank in a pale shade like blush pink or lavender. For the full-force look, pair colors that are near-opposites on the color wheel, such as pink and green or purple and yellow. Go easy on accessories with color blocking: Try feminine gold necklaces or post earrings. Bold Prints Bold prints from <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/wear-stripes-floral-print/" target="_blank">stripes to flowers</a> are big this season. The key is to focus on one piece. A bold dress will do wonders with your favorite pair of summer shoes and accessories. A skirt will bring out a plain white or black tank. This trend is a sure way to look current without going over the top. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/colors-wear-summer/" target="_blank">The Colors to Wear in Summer</a> Article by Marissa Rizzuto for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com" target="_blank">typeF.com</a> Tyra Banks introduces <a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/SIG=10qk56q9m;_ylt=ApDxa1RmfaevK5DLmNwhbENpbqU5/**http%3A//www.typef.com/" title="typeF" target="_blank">typeF</a>, a revolutionary fashion and beauty site for women of all backgrounds.

The Best Lip Plumper Lip Gloss
Small lips were so last season. No worries ladies, that's why the beauty heavens created plumping lip gloss. Now everyone can get plump, full, luscious lips without seeing a plastic surgeon. You don't even have to break into your piggy bank for some of these products. Three-in-one Plump We can't all spend a fortune trying to get plumped lips. Although some lip plumping glosses cost more than our budget allows, Pantina Butter Plumpin' Gloss is here to help. While it is value-priced, "Marie Claire" considers it as one of the best plumping glosses on the market. It not only plumps, but also contains vitamins A and C for soft lips. That's not all. The <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/shea-butter-benefits-skin/" target="_blank">shea butter</a> in the gloss moisturizes your lips too. What more could you ask for? No Hassle Plump Lip glosses have a tendency to get sticky and become a hassle to handle. Rimmel Lip Bloomer Lip Stain and Plumping Lip Gloss is "Seventeen's" pick for the best plumping gloss. Either use the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/video/apply-lip-stain/" target="_blank">stain side</a>, which leaves you with naturally flushed lips. Or use the gloss side leaving you a beautiful plump and shine. Of course you could always use both sides at once. No stickiness, no hassle, just a luscious pout. Appetite-curbing Plump A lip gloss that helps you lose weight sounds ridiculously impossible. New York It-girl Karen Robinovitz has made the impossible absolutely possible. She created Huge Lips Skinny Hips Lip Plumper, and "Cosmopolitan" is raving about it. The gloss contains 10 percent Hoodia gordonii extract, which is known to be a natural appetite suppressant. The gloss is paraben-free and has meadow foam to bring more moisture to lips. It also has Vitamin B3, which stimulates blood flow to lips. This means no stinging sensation. That's right ladies, gloss and shed the pounds. Life Saving Plump What if a lip gloss could possibly save your life. Sound a bit extreme? After Tracy Whittaker learned her drink may have been spiked by a date-rape drug, she took the matter into her own hands. She created 2 Love My Lips, a lip-gloss that plumps and detects date-rape drugs in drinks with a built-in test strip. It's no wonder "Marie Claire" loves this product. It plumps and can possibly save your life. <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/article/lip-plumper-lip-gloss/" target="_blank">The Best Lip Plumper Lip Gloss</a> Article by Violet Kanian for <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com" target="_blank">typeF.com</a> Tyra Banks introduces <a rel="nofollow" href="http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=Ao6a8zuze0DZkD7dZ1SM1MBpbqU5/SIG=10qk56q9m/**http%3A//www.typef.com/" title="typeF" target="_blank">typeF</a>, a revolutionary fashion and beauty site for women of all backgrounds.

Sky-High Wedges
The wedge first made a statement in the '60s, but this ever-present trend is here to stay. Offering ultimate height and unexpected comfort, wedges are a welcome addition to any closet, and have been more visible on red carpets than ever before. The wedge comes in varying heights, gorgeous colors, styles and unique fabrications, so there's a perfect pair out there for everyone. Stylist and fashion expert Laurie Brucker helps us navigate through the wide world of wedges. Step right up and say hello to summer! <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/332*500l-86400,http%3A%2F%2Fa323.yahoofs.com%2Fphugc%2FAF_7CESC.3xs%2Fphotos%2F40aa4dba8a28a7f7caaad541ca969cd1%2Fori_7d59dcdabcdd8e.jpg%3Fug_____D4CTx3EhA" align="center" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/sky-high-wedges/actress-hilary-duff/" target="_blank">Actress Hilary Duff</a> Hilary commands attention in this hip and fresh look.

The thin ankle straps on her wedges are feminine and sexy, while adding a bit of stability to her strut. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_3e3d30707401b2.jpg" align="center" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/sky-high-wedges/actress-zoe-saldana-3/" target="_blank">Actress Zoe Saldana</a> Zoe's look is flirty and fun and so are her strappy black wedges. The fingerprint wrap skirt is unexpected and her chunky gold and black ring accents her ensemble. If you want to snag Zoe's look, keep in mind this advice from Brucker: "When wearing strappy shoes like this remember that the scale of your foot is very important to the scale of your straps. Small and narrow feet look great with thinner straps, while a wider foot can pull off thicker straps." <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_17023c7f8fb223.jpg" align="center" width="269" height="404" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/sky-high-wedges/actress-leighton-meester-2/" target="_blank">Actress Leighton Meester</a> This dress is a party in itself!

I love the extreme pop of color with an all black and white look. The peep toe keeps it classy and the height of the shoe is nothing but sexy. It's a fun and playful take on the wedge," says Brucker. <img src="http://media.zenfs.com/en-US/blogs/partner/mr_1c6de07217570f.jpg" align="center" width="265" height="400" alt="" > <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/slideshow/sky-high-wedges/singer-jennifer-hudson-2/" target="_blank">Singer Jennifer Hudson</a> Jennifer is a knockout in this hot pink mini with bright lipstick to match! She sticks with streamlined solid basics to flaunt her figure, and adds interest with her rockstar-worthy embellished wedges. "Jennifer has a really nice tribal feel to her platforms. The white contrast beadwork is a beautiful compliment to her skin tone. But when wearing white accents, take a cue from Jennifer and make sure there are mixed neutral colors in your shoe, like a grey sole or even an espadrille style. Avoid wearing an all-white platform or you will look like you walked right out of the 70s!" warns Brucker.

The Pajama Trend: Rocking the New Slouchy Trousers
Remember when fashion was more about function than form? When you wore whatever made playing on the playground or swinging from the monkey bars easiest? Those days have returned, though they're looking far more fashionable than your old recess staples (not that there's anything wrong with a good corduroy jumper or floral <a rel="nofollow" title="patterned leggings" target="_blank" href="http://www.typef.com/article/can-wear-leggings/">patterned leggings</a> every now and then). The latest trend in trousers is flirty, silky and oh-so-comfy. It's All About Textiles The concept of the slouchy trouser is centered around fabrics. These seemingly shapeless slacks are best in fabrics that flutter and flow as you move. The most popular options are satiny fabrics in a wow-ing color or pattern or more casual linens and cottons in patterns and colors that are more understated and boho. While the former are often seen with cinched waists and sashes, the latter more closely resemble vintage bell-bottom jeans. Wear Them With '70s Staples Whether you're going ultra glam or hippie chic, these breezy britches embrace '70s styling. If you choose the high-impact satiny slacks, try a <a rel="nofollow" title="button-down shirt" target="_blank" href="http://www.typef.com/article/wear-button-down-shirt/">button-down shirt</a> or loose-fitting tank. The tank top makes the pants more weekend appropriate, while a button-down brings Saturday night fever to the office. If a more casual trouser is your go-to, choose a flowy peasant top, and don't shy away from sheer or lacy shirts; keep colors and patterns more blush-toned and earthy. Pair 'Em With Fancy Footwear No matter the occasion, there's a shoe that pairs perfectly with the slouchy trouser. A classic oxford emphasizes the menswear inspiration behind these more forgiving pants. On the other hand, a platform pump or high-heeled sandal says "va-va-voom." Little strappy numbers were spotted with these flowing pants on the Gucci and Louis Vuitton runways for spring 2011. Alternatively, try chunky wood and leather platform heels with lightweight linen or cotton to keep the natural vibe alive. Get a Little Glitzy Few decades have embraced gold like the '70s. For an ultra-glam look, choose <a rel="nofollow" title="gold accessories" target="_blank" href="http://www.typef.com/article/can-wear-gold-accessories-gray-dress/">gold accessories</a> and jewelry. A metallic gold clutch or art deco-inspired jewels will look right at home. While vintage turquoise and silver or a leather cuff are appropriate, consider updating your outfit with more current accessories. Rose gold is especially on trend, and marries hippie style with modern sophistication -- metallic leather and sparkling jewelry work equally well in this color. <a rel="nofollow" title="The Pajama Trend: Rocking the New Slouchy Trousers" target="_blank" href="http://www.typef.com/article/pajama-trend-rocking-new-slouchy-trousers/"></a><a rel="nofollow" title="The Pajama Trend: Rocking the New Slouchy Trousers" target="_blank" href="http://www.typef.com/article/pajama-trend-rocking-new-slouchy-trousers/">The Pajama Trend: Rocking the New Slouchy Trousers</a> Article by Kelly Fitzpatrick for <a rel="nofollow" title="typef" target="_blank" href="http://www.typef.com/">typeF.com</a> Tyra Banks introduces <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.typef.com/" title="typeF" target="_blank">typeF</a>, a revolutionary fashion and beauty site for women of all backgrounds.
