For those of you who find that rimming your lids with eyeliner make your eyes look tiny there is a move that’ll help.
On the bottom, not only is the line below her lashes (as opposed to inside the rim), but the line stops a little more than half-way in.
By keeping the liner a little lower, you create the illusion that your lids eyes are bigger than they really are and the stopping-half-way things keeps them from looking closed in. It’s less dramatic and smoky than going all the way around, but, hey, if you’ve been struggling with liner for awhile, it’s a good place to start.

Apply bronzer where the sun would normally warm the face, such as on tops of cheekbones, temples, bridge of nose and tip of chin. Avoid mixing bronzer into foundation or applying all over the face. To ensure proper application, be sure to use a large makeup brush with longer bristles.
BRONZER TIPS
1 – Bronzer alone can appear dull. For a dewy look, apply cream blush to the apples of your cheeks. The combination of bronzer and cream blush is absolutely gorgeous.
According to makeup artist Bobbi Brown, bronzer looks best on days you don’t wear a lot of foundation.
2 – Keep foundation to a minimum when applying bronzer as this can make your complexion too orange and “dirty” when the bronzer is applied. Apply a little tinted moisturizer if you must.
3 – Apply a little pink blusher to your cheeks as well to give a more natural looking glow.
4 – You must apply bronzer with the correct kind of brush – a wide and fluffy powder brush will work best. My favourite bronzer brushes are big, thick and soft with LONG bristles. This ensures an even application without harsh lines.
5 – When applying any kind of bronzer, it is best to start with a light application and build from there. If you make a mistake and apply too much, wipe off with some cotton wool or apply some light face powder on top to lighten the colour.

Step 1. You must choose a good concealer. Always choose one shade lighter than your skin tone and completely cover any dark circles. Since the smokey eye is very dark, you want to be certain you have good coverage here.
Step 2. With a black eye pencil, draw a line along the upper lashes. Start thin at the inner corner of the eye gradually getting thicker as you work your way out.
Step 3. As close to the lower lash line as possible, draw a thin line. You can stop either one third of the way in or take it all of the way in to the inner corner. It all depends on how dramatic of a look you want. Play around with both and see what looks best on you.
Step 4. With black liquid eye liner, draw a line on top of the black eye pencil. This gives it staying power.
Step 5. Use a dark grey eye shadow and crease brush and apply eye shadow to the crease (only 1/3 of the way in) of your eye, using aback and forth motion. Blend well, until you see no visible lines. You can also use an eye liner brush, dip it into the grey eye shadow and run it over the liquid liner to add to the smokey look.

Red lipstick is a universal classic and has yet to go out of style, according to the fashion magazines, yet many women assume they can’t wear it. They’re wrong. Here we show you how.
Rule No. 1: The secret lies in the rest of your face. The paler the skin, the bigger the pop. Go light on the eyes and the blush, otherwise you’ll risk looking like a clown . Here’s how to do it: Skip eyeliner and go only for mascara (black for brunettes, brown for blondes and redheads), making sure to apply to bottom lashes (it opens up your eyes). Dust face with powder and cheeks with a soft blush.
Rule No. 2: Line inside of lips Red lipstick tends to bleed, so fill in lips with lip liner first.
Rule No. 3: Pick the right color If your complexion is pink, you’ll look better in plum shades, while girls with yellow tones are flattered by warmer reds that have a brown base, according to celebrity makeup artist Jemma Kidd in the December 2005 issue of Harper’s.
Rule No. 4: Don’t let nails clash We prefer non-red nail polish when you’re going red on the lips. A clear polish or light color is cool, and black polish is a trend that shows no sign of going away anytime soon.
