making-over YOUR MAKE-UP

WE'RE ALL GUILTY OF SETTLING INTO BAD MAKE-UP HABITS ~

here's how to break those habits and get a fresh new look...

MASK-LIKE FOUNDATION: The foundation that once promised to conceal a multitude of skin sins, now actually highlights them ~ switch to a light-reflecting foundation to hide shadows and lines and create a two-dimensional glow.

CAKEY CONCEALER: Skin gets drier as we get older, and so will your much-loved concealer ~ switch to new formulations that are now almost invisible or pat on foundation to cover imperfections.

EYELINER OVERLOAD: Lining inside the eyes does not make them appear bigger, it does the opposite. Switch from using pencil to using shadow – and from black to brown ~ smudge shadow along the outside of the lashline to elongate eyes and make them appear bigger. When using liquid liner for a cat-eye effect, use along the top lashline only and don't over-extend the line.

DARK LIPLINER: Match your lipliner to your lips, not your lipstick and never go darker ~ it makes your mouth look smaller, cuts out the pout and ages you.

OVER-PLUCKED EYEBROWS: Thin eyebrows can make you look much older than you are!
