Makeup Tips

Skin

Skin is your canvas.If it's bumpy or dry and flaky, your makeup won't go on as well or look as good.That's why it's important to cleanse, exfoliate and moisturize regularly. It's also a good idea to wear sunscreen daily, to prevent further sun damage.

Aging

Everybody's skin is different at different ages. So there aren't really any rules about what you should do, makeup-wise, use the right products for your skin type and skin tone. A light touch, but not a heavy hand, will wear better as you age.


If You Only Have Five Minutes You can go from bare-faced to polished with the help of mascara, concealer, blush and lip gloss. What everyone should have in her makeup bag:

* Two shades of foundation to create the most natural look, depending on the time of year.

* Cheek tint (blush or bronzer) to add a natural-looking glow.

* Mascara, both dark brown and black, so you can soften your eyes or go for big impact with black.

* Lip color: A sheer, moisturizing lipstick and/or a lip gloss.

* Brow powder (if you need it) to fill in the gaps and keep a brow looking shaped and groomed.
