Q-How can I achieve today’s polished makeup look to wear at work so I can look both professional and gorgeous at the
time?

A-massage a Foundation Primer all over your face before foundation to ensure a smooth, long- lasting and flawless finish. Keep it in the fridge so the coolness is extra refreshing and helps reduce puffiness. For a very sheer and natural finish, always apply Oil-Free Foundation with a damp sponge in a downward and outward direction.

Eye Enhancing Techniques: To accentuate the color of the eyes, choose shades that contrast so the eye color will stand out. When applying Eye Color, remember that light shades emphasize and make an area appear larger. Dark shades diminish and make an area appear smaller.

For dry or mature eyelids, avoid shimmer all over the lid. Apply a matte Eye Color all over (and shimmer Eye Color only in the center of the eyelid) and a shimmer or lighter shadow to highlight the brow bone.

Completely lining the eye with a dark color encloses it and makes it appear smaller and more deep-set. To give the appearance of thicker lashes and to enhance eye color, dot between the root of the top lashes with your eye pencil.

To obtain fuller lashes, zig-zag the Mascara wand at the root of the lashes and work up and out. Try the ‘jewel crown effect” – apply shimmers and matte colors together. Apply shimmer to the eyes and matte color the lips or switch to matte eyes and shimmery lips. To achieve a successful Cheek Color or Eye Shadow application, pat and blend the cheeks and eyelids with Translucent Loose Powder.

This will provide a good texture for an even application. For Lip Color that stays in place and lasts forever, press a tissue against the lips and powder lightly with puff or brush. This “fixes” the Lip Color and prevents running and feathering. For more coverage or more moist finish, apply a little more lip color to the center of the lips after fixing them with powder and add gloss if you want to add more dimension.
