Types of outfits to hide bellyfat / tummy || Latest Fashion trend outfits to look slimmer

Welcome to my first fashion blog of 'beauty with soumya'. If you are a fashionista like me then this is the blog for you. Today I am going to share some outfit ideas which you can use if you have a belly fat or you tend to gain tummy frequently. These are some tips which you should keep in mind while shopping. I am not a fashion designer but these are the things I use which work amazingly well for me.


Generally stomach is the first area where fat of our body shows so most of us easily gain belly fat. It takes a lot of time and hard work to loose weight but if you are conscious about your tummy you can use these styling tips to look slimmer and stylish instantly.

In this fashion blog I am going to show outfit ideas in every category of clothes which you should keep in mind while buying clothes, also sharing some of the latest fashion trends. I also attached some of my pictures to give you an idea.


1) JEANS AND JEGGINGS-   

A high waist jeans is a raging fashion trend which is great for people with belly fat because it covers the tummy making us look slimmer. It gives our body a good structure looks extremely stylish with crop tops without showing much skin. A high waist mom jeans is must in your closet.

A stretchable jeggings is also trendy, it is high waist and does not hugs the body too tightly giving a casual yet fashionable look.

2) SKIRTS- 

Replace straight fit skirts with flared high waist skirts of any length of your choice, preferably ankle length skirt as it is in fashion trend. High waist flared skirt styled with a fitted top tucked in with boots gives an extremely stylish look. You can also wear long skirts which give ethnic yet stylish look and style it with some silver jewelry but these are not much in fashion .


3) TOPS- 

Peplum tops and empire tops are trendy which defines the waist just at the right place and gives a flared look around stomach. Also balloon style tops looks stylish without giving a bulky look. These can be worn with any type of jeans not necessarily high waist. Also A-line tops which fits from the bust area and open around stomach area looks classy and hides belly fat.
Any top which has broad elastic around stomach area can also be worn.

Off shoulder and cold shoulder tops are a great way to seek attention on the shoulders and not on our stomach and always in fashion trends.

Right- broad elastic around stomach

4) CROP TOPS- 

Choose crop tops which ends just above the jeans and not too short. It will ensure that you do not show your tummy. Wear crop tops which are not too short or body hugging.
If you tie knot in your normal t-shirt to make it crop, do the same without showing much skin. Simple tips can make your basic dress look extremely stylish.


5) DRESSES- 

Choose the dress which fits you below your bust area and then flows. For this wrap dresses are great option and looks extremely fashionable and cute. Also A-line dresses and t-shirt dress looks great.
Wear dresses which has belt around waist or you can add a broad waist belt to any dress.
Avoid bodycon or body hugging dresses.

6) OVERALLS- JUMPSUITS AND DANGREES-

On the same note, use overalls which are high waisted so hides your tummy well or has a belt or elastic around waste area, as shown in the pictures below. 
Avoid wearing crop tops with a dangree as side fat can be visible.

7) PANTS AND TROUSERS- 

Avoid pants which are too baggy around stomach as it can make you look bulky, instead wear trousers or pants which fits around waist and also high waisted to cover belly. 


8) KURTAS- 

Ankle length straight kurtas gives a taller look and seeks attention to top to bottom instead of side to side. A-line kurtas and anarkalis are also a great option. Avoid fitted kurtas.


9) JACKETS AND BLAZERS- 

Wear denim jacket which is always trendy or ethnic jacket is also in fashion trend, to draw attention to it and not on the stomach. Blazers also give a classy look and look extremely fashionable styled with crop tops, drawing attention towards it.

10) LONG VESTS AND SHRUGS- 

Long Vests are extremely in fashion trends which make us look taller and also hide side fat in our stomach. Many celebrities wear them but these are hard to find in the market.
You can style shrugs with crop tops and kurtas which is in fashion trends too. 
You can DIY vests from your old straight kurta.

Wide leg flary palazzos (high waist) styled with fitted tops or A-line kurtas looks extremely stylish. Palazzos are comfortable to wear and also in fashion trends, can be styled in many different ways.

Purple Ultra HD matte liquid lipstick honest review and swatches on medium skintone

Welcome to my blog 'beauty with soumya'. Today I am going to review another lipstick because I have many of them (but not enough), you will relate if you are a makeup lover or a lipstick lover.

Anyways, today's review is about a lipstick about which I heard many good things but it did not pleased me at all. It is the PURPLE ULTRA HD MATTE LIQUID LIPSTICK. I have a mini version but the formula is same.
So here is my honest review

A bad lipstick can destroy a good makeup so be wise while choosing the formula of your lipstick, especially on important occasions.


Purple ultra HD matte liquid lipstick

PRICE- INR 499 for 4.8ml and 199 for 1.6ml but always on sale.

PACKAGING- It comes in a see through bottle with black cap and a fancy outer cover which has all the information. Packaging is good and sturdy. It has a normal dough foot applicator.

It contains PARABENS.


COLOR RANGE- It comes in 30 shades with wide range of color from red to purple, orange pinks and nude color lipstick.


TEXTURE- pigmentation of the lipstick is high and one swipe. It is a smudge-proof, transfer-proof and water-proof lipstick. It has a cake fragrance not overpowering at all.

You must be thinking then what is wrong with the lipstick. Well it is the formula which I don't like. The lipstick becomes patchy after drying but also matte. The formula is thick so more than one layer makes it thick and heavy on the lips.
After drying it will emphasize the lines on the lips. After eating something (oily or non-oily) it wears off from anywhere and becomes crumbly and starts coming off which is something I hate and not pleasing to see at all. 

STAYING POWER- Lasting power is 2-3 hours after which if you layer it up it becomes thick and crumbly.
The only way to apply this is to dot some on the lips then spread it from the finger.
It is a drying formula so lip balm is a must.


The color of the lipstick becomes dark after some time which I do not like. 

ABOUT SHADE 20 MY FIRST GOSSIP-
This shade is pinkish nude shade more on the pink side. The shade is very pretty but after some time turns more pink.


Overall I will not suggest to buy this lipstick. If you want to try it then buy the mini version. If you like it then you can obviously go for the bigger one.

AVAILABILITY- exclusively on Purplle.com

MY RATING- 2/5

Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick Voyager review and swatch on medium skintone// maroon lipstick

Welcome to my blog 'Beauty with Soumya', today's review is about very famous lipstick in the market Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Liquid lipstick in the shade 50 voyager. These are loved by some people but not really by some other. So, let's see what's the deal about this lipstick



PRICE- INR 650 for 5 ml, sale price-INR 450-500

PACKAGING- Maybelline superstay matte ink lipstick comes in an edgy bottle with a white cap and color coded matte bottle. shade name is written in the bottom of it and information and date is written on sides which I really admire. packaging is quite bulky and classy.
The applicator is really interesting, pointed with a hole in it so it picks the product well and lipstick can be drawn precisely.



COLOR RANGE- Maybelline superstay matte ink comes in 35 shades with a wide range of colors from lighter nude colors to bold purple and grey. You can definitely find one for yourself.
Voyager is a deep maroon shade suitable to all skintones but can give a vampy look to fair skintones. Some shades of this range are patchy but never tried them so can't commit on it.




PIGMENTATION- maybelline superstay matte ink voyager is very high in pigmentation, one coat is enough

TEXTURE- lipstick has a thick texture which feels heavy on the lips after some time but moisturizing at the same time, I will suggest to scrub lips, apply lip balm but wipe before applying lipstick.
It takes quite a time to get dry completely but once it does it does not budge, completely matte, smudge-proof, transfer-proof and water-proof. But do not stick your lips while it is drying otherwise it becomes patchy, apply an even coat and leave it to dry.

Lipstick feels sticky on the lips like a glue and the stickiness does not go away even after drying and lasts throughout the day. I don't feel it to be uncomfortable but if u do then I will not suggest this


STAYING POWER- as the name suggests it is a superstay. Product claims that the lipstick stays for 16 hours I could never it for that long but it lasts throughout the day upto 8-10 hours. it can survive light oily meals but fades from the inner lips with foods like burger. I will suggest then to apply it only on the inner area and not on whole to avoid cakiness.



PROS OF MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY MATTE INK VOYAGER- 

  1. transfer-proof
  2. smudge-proof
  3. non drying
  4. high staying power
  5. easily available
  6. wide range of shades
  7. color coded packaging
  8. date of manufacturing,etc are written on the bottle
CONS OF MAYBELLINE SUPERSTAY MATTE INK VOYAGER- 
  1. sticky on the lips
  2. pain to remove, can only be removed by oil based remover or coconut oil
  3. can become patchy sometimes
  4. after some time feel heavy on the lips
  5. takes time to dry
I will suggest to buy a shade and see if it is comfortable then you can invest accordingly.

MY RATING- 4.5/5

5 Different shades of Red lipstick, mini review and swatches on medium skintone from Rs 50-650



Welcome to my blog "Beauty with Soumya". Red lipsticks are the most versatile shade which can brighten any look. If you are running late and do not have time to do whole lot of makeup you can just apply minimal makeup with red statement lips and you are done. This is the shade that suits every skintone out there and easily available in every lipstick range.

But there are a lot of shades of red lipsticks and you should figure out which will suit your skintone the best and complement your look. So, in this blog I am going to show you different shades of red lipsticks which are easily available online and in stores with swatches on my medium skintone, also I am going to tell you right shade for your skintone.
Every lipstick shown below is comfortable to wear and do not accentuate fine lines on the lips.
I am going to show lipsticks in decreasing order of prices. So, let's start




1) Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink Lipstick- Voyager :  



  • Price- INR 650 but grab it on sale for 450- 500 easily.
  • Maybelline superstay matte ink lipstick in the shade voyager is a wine burgundy shade suitable for every skintone. It will look gorgeous on medium to deeper skintones and give a dark lips look for fair skintone but still look very beautiful. 
  • These are famous for their longetivity. they claim that lipstick remains for 16 hours. I have never checked them for 16 hours but they will easily last you throughout the day. After very oily food you need to touch up your lips just on the insides of lip as layering them up can make you feel heavy. 
  • These are highly pigmented and non-drying but after few hours can make your lips dry so I will suggest to apply lip balm.
  • It takes quite a time to become dry so do not stick your lips until wet otherwise it comes patchy, apply an even coat for smooth finish.
  • It feels a bit sticky.
This is my go to lipstick for parties or whenever I am going to eat a lot, or when I want to make a bold statement lips this is the one.

2) Blue Heaven Elegance Matte Lip Color- 01:


  • Price- INR 105, sale price- INR 85
  • It is an orange toned red lipstick. It will complement fair to medium skintones but can be wore by anyone as it will not wash you out. It looks great in day time.
  • It has a thin consistency and settles into a complete matte lipstick within 30 seconds. It is transfer proof but transfers after eating or drinking anything. so dab on the tissue after that or you can reapply. It cannot stand heavy meals
  • blue heaven elegance matte lip color 01 is highly pigmented and non drying but I will suggest to use a lip balm underneath
  • lasts upto 6 hours, this range is excellent choice in a budget but different colors perform differently so choose wisely

3) Blue Heaven Elegance Matte Lip Color- 07:


  • Price- INR 105, sale price- INR 85
  • It is a maroon color with slight pink undertones, complement all the skintones. this is more of an evening color.
  • It has a watery consistency and settles within seconds into complete matte lipstick. It becomes patchy to layer it up after it becomes dry so you have to work fast.
  • pigmentation is good not very high but will last you a decent amount of time.
  • This range is easily available online as well as in local stores.

4) Matte Look Lipstick- 101:

  • Price- INR 99 for 3.8 gm, bought from a local store
  • This brand has some good lipstick launches with very good quality so I will recommend to take a look.
  • This is a blue toned true red lipstick complement every skintone out there. This is a very bright red like in your face red color looks pretty in day time.
  • This is a bullet lipstick so it will transfer a bit but it settles into a complete matte finish and non drying too.
  • It can stand light meals but cannot stand heavy meals but you can always reapply.
  • It is a highly pigmented lipstick, blot on a tissue paper or apply some powder and blend for more matte look.
