If your legs are your greatest physical asset, show them off! A slit is incredibly flattering on a number of body shapes and dress styles as it softens a look and allows greater movement in your gown.
It’s important to consider height and placement when opting for a slit. Depending on how comfortable you are, your slit can be knee length high or extend all the way to your upper thigh. It all relates to the overall look you want.
You also have options in placing your slit on the sides, the middle or even the back of your dress. The back and front slits are typically to accomodate stiffer fabrics as it allows for more movement, while the side slits are all about drama. Placing your slit on the side puts your leg on full display. Just make sure to not veer too far off onto the side to avoid having to stick your leg out to get the full effect of the slit. Aim for creating the slit right where the dress naturally touches your legs.

Wedding dresses are a major part of anyone’s big day but after the wedding, they tend to end up unused and stashed away in a cupboard.
Your dress doesn’t have to just sit in a closet and collect dust. To get the most out it, here are a few ways to reuse your wedding dress and create more special memories.
Your wedding dress holds a special meaning but more often than not, it just becomes an ornament hanging in the back of your cupboard. Donating your dress will give someone else the opportunity to feel just as beautiful and glamorous as you did on your big day.
Wedding dresses tend to have much more fabric than others, which can be cut and crafted in new and creative ways. You can cut the dress down and use strips of material for making various home decor items or clothing. Satin and lace work well for this. Or separate the skirt and bodice to wear as stylish separates paired with more casual items.
Along the lines of crafting, dying your dress will instantly change its look and make it an elegant evening gown which you can wear out to events or formal functions.
If you feel sentimental and would like to keep your dress, turning it into a Christening dress or princess-style dress for your child or younger family member is a meaningful way of re-using your dress.
Love Halloween, or any kind of dress-up for that matter? You can get seriously creative with your wedding dress for a themed party. Think zombie bride or fairytale princess!

Dolphins are beautiful animals, but have you ever thought about their skin? It is beautifully smooth and constantly glistening.
It may sound strange, but a new makeup trend revolves around achieving this dolphin-esque finish to your skin using makeup. The trend is inspired by the popular ‘wet look’ that has been dominating for the last few years.
This look aims to turn anyone into a sun-kissed god or goddess who just stepped out of the ocean and is simply glowing.

The dolphin skin makeup trend was coined by celebrity makeup artist Mary Philips, with clients including Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber and Bella Hadid among her top clients. She advises layering up on a number of glowy products to achieve this look.

If you’re having a beach wedding, this makeup trend is especially fitting. While highlighter has decreased in popularity within the last year, the dolphin trend is all about using highlighter for a natural glow.
The best way to go about it is to use a glowy primer like the MAC strobe cream to work as an illuminating base underneath your foundation. You can then layer with more shine-inspiring products like a luminous foundation, the Iconic London Dew Drops as a highlighter and a cream blush like Swiitch Beauty’s Bubble Blush for a dewy finish. You want to focus on liquid and cream products to enhance the ‘wet’ look.
Don’t be shy with the highlighter! Use it everywhere, from your cheekbones and forehead to your collarbones and décolletage. Here a few short Instagram tutorials showing how to rock the look:
