Beauty 911: Get Ready in a Hurry
Plus secrets on how to feel confident in what you're wearing.
— -- Everyone wants to get out the door faster while feeling confident in what you're wearing.
Meredith Rollins, editor-in-chief of Redbook magazine, appeared on "Good Morning America" for our "Beauty 911" series, answering questions from three “GMA” viewers about their biggest beauty challenges.
Here's her solutions to common beauty debacles:
1. The problem: One viewer who was petite with an athletic build and narrow hips didn't have the best luck finding a good-fitting pair of pants. It was so tough, she even quit buying jeans, she said.
The solution: Decide based on body type. If you are petite, Rollins suggested a slim ankle-crop pant and pairing them with shoes that show a lot of skin. It'll compliment your frame and makes you seem taller, she said. If you are taller, you want to highlight your long legs, so a pant with a slight flare at floor-slimming length is great. If you have a fuller figure, try relaxed joggers or high-waisted culottes. They are roomy when you need it, but still show off your beautiful shape.
2. The problem: Another viewer said she had trouble picking the right jewelry for her neckline.
The solution: It's tricky figuring out if our jewelry works with an outfit, but there are fool-proof combinations that can really compliment an outfit perfectly. For your crew neck shirts, go for a Y-necklace. It should hit at least an inch below your collar so the delicate details can stand out. For a v-neck, go for a bolder piece of jewelry like a choker for a chic, artsy statement piece. For all those work button-downs, wear a pendant necklace under your collar, but with a few buttons open for an effortless, yet polished vibe.
3. The problem: A viewer asked how she can get similar fashion to people she sees walking down the street in New York City while avoiding the embarrassment of having to ask them for help.
The solution:An app called "Comb" allows you to take a snapshot of any garment or accessory. As soon as you upload the photo, it'll then sort everything by price and brand--making shopping for the perfect look quicker and easier than ever before.
