Women 'play tricks' to look good
28 September 2008
Women are resorting to tricks to make themselves look better, according to a recent survey.
Around four in ten women said they have resorted to magic knickers a-la Bridget Jones in a bid to streamline their silhouettes.
Other cheat methods to make themselves look better – especially to the opposite sex are push-up bras, with nearly half of female respondents saying they had worn them to boost their assets.
A further one in ten use "chicken fillets" to make themselves appear more curvaceous than they actually are.
The survey of 1,300 by Lakeside Shopping Centre also revealed that one in three women dim the lights during love-making to hide their flaws.
There were also more weird and wonderful tricks discovered, including putting Vaseline on the eyelids to appear more awake.
Angela Poplett, a personal shopper, said: "Feeling and looking sexy is high on UK women's list of priorities but it's surprising how many women try to cheat their way to a sexier look.
"It's amazing to see how popular magic pants have become considering they were only launched a couple of years ago. I often recommend them to clients."
