Plus-size? There are more and more stores that carry styles just for you! Petite? You’re covered, too.

But if you happen to be tall, there just aren’t a lot of options — even though tall women have the money to spend on extra-long styles.

According to new research, women who are 5-foot-8 and taller are twice as likely to earn up to $7,650 more than their shorter pals, the Daily Mail reports.

British retailer Long Tall Sally, which specializes in clothes for women over 5-foot-8, is listening and hopes to make waves on this side of the pond by giving U.S.-based fashionistas the styles they’ve been searching for.

StyleList caught up with Lisa Butcher, a 6-foot-tall model (Yves Saint Laurent, Ralph Lauren) and British TV personality (”Britain’s Next Top Model,” “What Not to Wear”) who also designs the Long Tall Sally capsule collection Lisa Loves.

Here, she talks about the retailer, the need for taller fashions, and her tips for dressing when height is an issue.

On the Web site: “Long Tall Sally has been going in England for about 30 years, and it has been completely revamped,” Butcher says. “They have brought in a new stylist — her name is Deborah Wiles — and she has made the clothes very hip and much more trend-led, as well as being classic and beautifully cut.”

POP diva Mariah Carey ditched the make-up to star as a social worker in the Bafta and Oscar-nominated film Precious.
But in real life she prefers a more glamorous look. Here the 39-year-old shares her top beauty tips and Sue gives advice on how you can make them work for you.

Q WHICH product have you been using for years that you wouldn’t be without?

A Neutrogena mild cleanser.

Q ARE there any natural treatments you use?

A Yes, I actually use olive oil in my hair.

Sue says: “What olive oil does for your body on the inside as a nutritional product, it does on the outside as a beauty aid.

“It’s the reason why so many Italian women have long, lustrous locks.

“Massage it into your scalp for a skin treatment or leave on the hair for a deep conditioning treat.”

Q WHAT is the best beauty tip a friend has ever given you?

A Milk and ice for redness on the face and puffiness under the eyes – it works wonders!

Sue says: “Milk is well known as a natural wonder moisturiser and ice makes the capillaries contract, taking reddening blood flow away. But choose full-fat milk for maximum benefits.

“Just whizz up cold milk and ice in the blender and mix into a face pack with two teaspoons of oatmeal and two teaspoons of china or white clay powder, available from health shops and aromantic.co.uk from £3.40.

“Leave on for 20 minutes twice a week to help calm red skin. Or if you need a quick fix, dab milk under the eyes or on a breakout, then press an ice cube on the spot for a minute to lessen red skin.

“Remember – you should test the mask on a small patch of skin before you use it for the first time.”

New fragrence … Forever by Mariah Carey

Q TELL me about your new fragrance, Forever, and the inspiration behind it?

A Forever is a beautiful floral fragrance that captures this wonderful time in my life where I am surrounded by all the things I love.

Creating fragrances, especially Forever, has allowed me to express different parts of myself through scent and not just music.

Q WHAT tricks have you learned from make-up artists over the years?

A Too many to mention – I’ve worked with the best and the worst, but most people tell me they prefer how I do my own make-up.

Sue says: “If you need advice on what make-up will suit you, go for a professional consultation at a cosmetics counter.”

Q WHAT four make-up products would readers need to recreate your look?

A Tinted SPF 30 moisturiser, matte brown shadow, sheer lip gloss and baby pink blush.
