How to Make Small Breasts Look Bigger

Okay, let's fess up--all you women out there with small breasts--don't you wish you had a little more "oomph" in your chest? Don't we all! Here are some tips to help enhance what you've got, without going under the knife! 

First off, make sure you are wearing the right sized bra. It DOES make a big difference in how your girls stand to attention when you have a well-fitted bra. See the link in the resources section below to see how to measure and properly fit yourself for a bra. 

Wear clothing that works with your body. Sometimes, certain tops or blouses will make your chest look worse while others can help make them appear more voluptuous. Go for tops that have a gather near the chest area. This can help give the visual that you have more than maybe you've really got! 

Go for a padded bra. No, skip the tissue paper--bra stuffing has been the result of numerous embarrassing moments for girls of all ages. Save yourself the cost of Kleenex and buy yourself a nice, uplifting bra. Victoria's Secret is known for having high quality, long lasting, natural looking pushups and padded bras. Splurge for one (and make sure to get the free fitting to make sure you're getting the right size!) and treat yourself to a nice bra on the days you're wearing something a little more revealing than normal! 

Don't be worried if you're wearing a swimsuit--you can purchase swimsuits that have padding or under wire to help you get the look you want even when you're wearing less than normal! 

Use makeup. You know that powder foundation that was a shade too dark for your face? Use it on your chest! No joke! Using a blush brush, brush a little bit of powder foundation on your cleavage, creating a v-shape (go a little on top of your breast to create a natural line). This can help enhance your cleavage and, even if you don't have it, allows you to flaunt it! 

Tips & Warnings

If using padded inserts or cutlets, keep an eye on them--they tend to shift if not attached to your bra and can slip out or create obvious signs that you're adding some weight to your rack!

Don't overdo it. As a friend of mine once said, creating large breasts with the tricks above can be "false advertising" on a first date. (Yes, it WAS said by a man...)

Love yourself no matter what your size. Especially if you're married--your husband married you for a reason. ;)
