them either faster or slower. It's also very
effective for slowing a too-speedy timelapse.

a beauty app, but it has excellent
applications for the party season,
too. You can try out which makeup look you're
thinking of going for before you start with the
whole task of actually putting it on. Plus, it's
an easy way to suss out which lipstick
shades are actually going to suit you.

A BRA AS A TOP
ELLE’s fashion director Rachel Wayman
explains why this is the statement-making,
anti-sequin alternative to after-dark dressing
(and helps you find the perfect style).BUSTIER
“An entry-level
piece for those who
aren’t quite ready
to commit to the
boudoir vibes of lace.
Team with high-
waisted, wide-leg
trousers and your
tallest heels for an
elongating shape.”CROPPED TOP
“An easier, relaxed-fit
crop that’s ideal with
a full skirt for sunny
afternoons that turn
into balmy nights.”CORSET
“Laced-up details
aren’t going anywhere.
With its corset-inspired
shape, this piece is best
modernised by layering
over a white tee.”LACE BRA
“A lace bra isn’t for
the faint-hearted.
Layer under a two-
piece suit for a chic
use of underwear
as outerwear.”Bra, $89.95,
