"  em&amp;gt;Chicas, when you hear the word &amp;quot;faja&amp;quot; aka shapers, I bet many of you tend to think of those things mami and abuelita wore under their dresses. But shapers can actually be our best friends, and even if you&amp;#039;re young, there&amp;#039;s no shame is wearing them to smooth out unwanted lumps and bumps. Celebs like Eva Longoria, Jennifer Lopez, and Kim Kardashian use them\u2014shape wear has become Hollywood&amp;#039;s best kept secret, and I&amp;#039;m a big believer that you should have at least one faja in your closet. Here are some options. The body suit This will give you full coverage and is great to wear under dresses. It can be a little uncomfortable, but it&amp;#039;s so worth it when you look like a young Jlo in your party pics. The camisole This will only give you coverage on your upper half. This is the perfect option if you are looking to hide those love handles or just want to tighten your tummy. The mid-thigh shaper This is the perfect faja to wear if you only want to conceal your legs, butt, and stomach. This is probably one of the most popular ones out there because you can wear them with dresses, shorts, pants, and skirts.  Panties or shorts These are great if you are looking to smooth your tummy or butt area. I actually love the Spanx shorts because they smooth everything out without making your butt look flat like a lot of shape wears do. These shorts actually lift your butt. I give it a perfect 10. Stylista&amp;#039;s Tip: When buying a faja just make sure you don&amp;#039;t make the same mistake I did a couple of years ago. I went to a mercado in LA that supposedly had fajas that made your waist look like Thalia&amp;#039;s. When I got home, it took me over half an hour to just put it on. Let&amp;#039;s just say I was very impressed with the results, my body looked like Sofia Vergara&amp;#039;s with Thalia&amp;#039;s waist. But the problem was that the faja was so uncomfortable, I couldn&amp;#039;t sit and I ended up having to cut it open in order to take it off!! The moral of the story is to try your faja before you actually buy it! For more fashion and beauty tips, check out my blog flordemariafashion.com. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
