  You don't need to have the height of a supermodel to be beautiful. Short women can apply the same beauty techniques as their long-legged nemeses, only scaled down to address their short stature. Framing and elongating your natural asests can work wonders for the petite woman's overall appearance.
  
  

Hair Length

• Hair length plays an important part in every woman's overall image of beauty, but more so for the petite woman. Chin to shoulder length styles work best for shorter women, according to Hairfinder.com. Be careful not to go too short, which can cause your head to look too large, whereas going too long with a hairstyle can overwhelm your overall look, causing you to appear actually shorter in stature.
  
  

Hair Styles

• Sleek lines without too much "puff" works in keeping your face in proportion with the rest of your body, allowing you to achieve the ultimate beauty in a coiffure. Hair styles with a gentle weave are fine. Avoid too much hair, such as the appearance rendered from large curls, which can make your head look too large for your size.
  
  

Hair Accessories

• Petite women need to be careful with the accessories they use in their hair, as overly large or fancy bows can convey a child-like appearance. Even ponytails can make a short woman look immature. Choose hair accessories that blend in with your hair and keep them small.
  
  

Neck Line

• The petite woman should avoid wearing high-collared shirts and short necklaces. This is one area the eye is immediately drawn to and a long, sleek neckline conveys feminine beauty. Elongate the neck area by wearing longer necklaces. A V-neck shirt or one with a rounded lower neckline gives the appearance of length, according to UltimateCosmetics.com.
  
  

Quick Makeup Tips

• Makeup for the petite woman is basically the same as any other woman, but there are a few tricks that can help elongate your face and accentuate your features. One beauty trick is to make your eyes look bigger by using white eyeliner in the inner rims of the eye. Using a bronzer in reverse by applying it to the perimeter of your face inward will make your face look longer and spotlight your features, according to Oprah.com
