Some Tips

Get Kissable Lips

- If you use a lip pencil to line your mouth, it should either match the shade of your lipstick or match the shade of your naked lips. Anything else will look unnatural.
- Don't just gloss over your lips. You need to care for them too. Exfoliate to eliminate chapped, flaky skin: Use a damp washcloth on your finger to gently rub lips smooth.
- Play up your pout by dabbing a bit shimmery gloss right in the middle of your bottom lip.
- To keep lipstick on your lips longer, line your mouth and fill it in with lip pencil before applying lipstick.

Get Flirty Eyes and Tame Dark Circles

- Save waterproof mascara for occasions that really call for it. Wearing it everyday can damage lashes because it's harder to remove.
- Avoid eye makeup that has a pinkish tone. It can make eyes look tired, red, or irritated. Not the desired effect!
- The right concealer to cover under eye circles will be creamy (so it doesn't cake or collect in fine lines) and should be one to two shades lighter than your foundation.
- Be careful when lining lower lids. A smoky, smudgy look under the eyes can call attention to under-eye circles.
- To completely cover under-eye circles, be sure to pat concealer on with your ring finger (rubbing or smearing it over skin will spread the product too thin). Use extra in the darkest areas-usually near the tear ducts at the inner corners of the eyes.
- For eyeliner that'll last, use a pencil and then cover over the line with a sweep of powder shadow in the same color. A one-step option: Wet your liner brush slightly and use it to apply powder shadow damp.
- The delicate skin around the eyes is the first place to show signs of aging. Fend off fine lines with religious use of a gentle, fragrance-free eye cream every night. By day, protect the skin around the eyes with a sunscreen made just for that area.
