The grass is always greener and no one is happy with what they have. How do you create that perfect cleavage shape if you are smaller on top?

Five tips for making small breasts look bigger:

* The bra is key. A well fitted bra that works for the outfit you are wearing and for your particular body can make the difference huge. If you aren’t sure how to buy a well fitted bra, ask for help at the lingerie department of a better lingerie store or department store.

* Don’t wear fashions that are unflattering. There is nothing worse than someone with small breasts wearing a shirt or dress that is designed for someone with large breasts. V-necks are more flattering than U shaped necklines. Tight is not always more flattering — even when you have small breasts. Well fitted is the king.

* Color matters. Horizontal stripes will give the illusion of more, so wear your horizontal stripes across your chest — not your hips. Bright colors will give you more of an appearance of generosity than black.

* Push up bras always work. But there are many to choose from so buy one that fits and works for you. Bring the outfit you want to wear to the lingerie department when you buy the bra, so that you can see how the bra looks — not just on your bare body, but under your clothing.

* Bring a friend for a second set of eyes. It’s always good to have a friend you can trust along in the dressing room to tell you the truth about what the mirror can’t say.
