Makeup Junkie: Bridal Makeup and the Hardsell Cosmetic Counter Makeover(!?!)

Pre-Wedding Rituals: Strange Encounters of the Cosmetic Counter Kind… I love makeup. We all know this. This is why my traincases don’t close, my heart flutters when MAC releases a new collection, and I still think that I will one day find a mascara that will change my life. However, one thing threatens to spoil this perfect love. Overzealous cosmetics counter people. Eyeshadow is NOT a weapon! One of my closest friends is getting married at the end of June, out of town, and I will be doing her makeup. As part of our pre-wedding ritual we’ve been looking for new products, trying new colors, looks, etc. We had a wonderful artist at the MAC store in the Flat Iron

The perils of pink… Going to extremes wearing one color

The perils of pink… Going to extremes wearing one color I have a pink wool peacoat that I bought for some reason last year. I am over 30 and a working professional. Can I get away with wearing pink? It looks great with my coloring, which is the only reason-- so far-- that I am keeping it. Or are pink coats better left for little girls? Thanks for your advice! (Zurich, Switzerland) You've really come to the wrong girl to extol the virtues of wearing pink. Pink is no longer a color, it's become a state of mind for some women. Yes, there are gorgeous shades of pink- dusty rose, that Schiaparelli shocking pink, rosebud, certain fuchsia's, blush, and men

Break Out of Blah… How to Get Some Zing In Your Wardrobe

Go for the bling-bling and have fun with life!  Dear Sharon: Help, I look like so dreary and baggy.The problem is, I'm not the slimmest person in the world. But I'm not fat. I'm just average. I have a round butt and big boobs. So, to hide this because I don't feel comfortable with it, I wear baggy, baggy, and dreary clothes that aren't becoming to me. When I see other girls with their clothes being more attractive than mine, I go home and look in the mirror. Then, I think to myself, how can I have actually worn this stuff? What advice do you have? --Tedious Tendencies (Whiteford, Maryland)   Dear Tedious Tendencies: Sweetie, if Jennifer Lopez hid her round butt and big boobs, we would never have

Men In Panty Hose- Love It or Leave It

Men In Panty Hose- Love It or Leave It 1. I'm a 29-year-old married male and I wear pantyhose daily. I wear them under my jeans or with shorts for comfort; as well as for the look they give my legs. I would like to wear some sheer hose with a pair of tailored black casual dress shorts and a nice brown/black paisley button-down T-shirt. Do you recommend any styles or colors of pantyhose that would coordinate and what type of men's shoe would look nice with it? Thank you for your time. (Garland, TX) 2. Your Web Site and Columns are GREAT!! Keep up the good work... I need your advice on an issue I have been struggling with

Men in Hose- Love It or Leave It

Re: Men in Hose- Love It or Leave It. RE: Men in Hose- Love It or Leave It Thanks Sharon for your open-minded comments about men's hosiery. There are many men, including myself, who wear hosiery for comfort, support and looks. Several hosiery manufacturers now offer products for men. Nylon & lycra are soft, man-made fabrics that feel very smooth to the skin, unlike rougher wools & cottons that men traditionally have had no choice but to wear. Whoever said these fabrics were strictly limited to women? In my opinion, hosiery works equally well for men and women (we both have legs) and men should not be intimidated to adopt some clothing that has been traditionally, in the last century
