Makeup Do’s And Don’ts

Do

* Use Makeup Brushes, especially for precision in applying eyeshadow

* Use a hint of blush or bronzer to add a youthful, healthy glow

* Lighten your winter look for summer. Switch from lipstick to lip gloss, or go for a lightly rimmed, smoky eye.

* Update your lip color or eyeshadow twice a year (spring-summer, fall-winter). It's an inexpensive investment that will keep your "makeup wardrobe" current.

* Use powder to dust the t-zone (forehead, nose, chin).

* Take a makeup lesson


Don't

* Be too rigid with your makeup style. Just because you've always gone heavy on the black liquid eyeliner doesn't mean you have to channel Alice Cooper forever.

* Fear makeup, or products with names like "eye primer" or "mineralize skin finish powder." You can always ask someone at the makeup counter how to use a product. Then, remember to experiment at home.

* Over-bronze. "It's about contouring and highlighting in the right places"

* Be a slave to the trends. Adapt them to suit your own personal style.
