Timeless Beauty Tips (by Woman's Day) part 2

Continued from previous post...

Pretty Face
  • Don't touch your face unnecessarily. Breakouts can be caused by your own fingers.
  • Apply cream or cleanser by lightly pressing upward - never down. The delicate skin sags easily enough in time.
  • For the best color match, test foundation and powder either on your face or neck (the inside of your wrist is too pale).
  • Use foundation, not concealer (which is lighter than your skin color), to cover up redness of blemishes.
  • Rouge should be well-blended far out on the cheekbone; circles of rouge don't look good on anyone.

Lovely Lips
  • Get lips soft and smooth by using a damp cloth, warm washcloth at night to rub off the flaky dry bits; follow with a coat of lip balm.
  • Ease the evening switch to a redder or darker lipstick by applying it over and blending it into your daytime color.
  • To make lipstick last longer, allow it to set for a few minutes after applying, blot lips with tissue, and dust them with powder, then apply another coat.
  • Cheeks feeling flushed? Pu on a bold color lipstick; a neutral share will only make red cheeks stand out.
  • For lip liner that glides on, warm it up first by pinching it with your fingertips.

Glowing Skin
  • The best time to apply lotion is right after a shower or bath, when skin is still damp.
  • When drawing a bath, scatter bubbles or crystals directly under the faucet before turning on the water, but drop in perfume oil while the tub is filling.
  • Beautiful skin starts from within. Include lots of vegetables, fruit and water in your diet.
  • Overdo it with your perfume? dab rubbing alcohol with a cotton ball on your skin. The alcohol will cut the scent without altering it.
  • Microwave lotion for 5 seconds to soothe dry winter skin.
