Glam Slam: The Friday Five — Ways To Get Even Sexier

The number one hit “Sexy and I Know It” makes me laugh (I work ouuut!) and with Valentine’s Day just around the corner, you may be looking for a little “get sexy” inspiration.

InStyle magazine shares five ways we can all get even sexier!!!!

Apply Bold Color
There’s power in your pout. One study showed that both red and pink lipstick hold a man’s attention for five seconds longer than a neutral lip. But a high-impact hue has to feel right—to you. Experiment with different shades of crimson and fuchsia and combine it with a subtle, smoky eye.

Master the “Bed-Head Bardot”
For touchable waves (like J.Lo’s!), start with a volumizing spray or powder. Loosely gather hair into two low ponytails and secure with rubber bands. Twist each pony around its base; pin and leave in for two hours. Shake out and voila—goddess bed head. Create waves on shorter ‘dos by wrapping strand vertically around a 1-inch curling iron; begin at the top of your ears and continue down to the ends.

Customize Your Curves
When it comes to turning up the heat, a tailor can be a miracle worker. Alterations to the bust, waist and hips of a sheath dress can highlight your shape easily giving you a day-to-night look. Add definition with a thin or wide belt.

Work on Your Wink
Fluttery fringe on the red carpet (like Eva Longoria’s) is often achieved with false eyelashes or extensions, say pros. For DIY lashes at home, use these tips. Begin with a primer and secure your lashes to the bottom of your eyelid. Gently heat your lash curler with a blow-dryer before crimping. Finally, brush on waterproof mascara to seal the lash.

Embrace Lace
A lacy stocking shows off your seductive legs in a seductive way that’s not edgy or overt. Pair with an LBD and platform pumps for a saucy retro vibe.
