Using a colored liner or
shadow at the lash line can
help to brighten the eyes.
This is more youthful and
flattering than brown or
black. Also, using a vivid
lipstick can brighten the
entire face.
It’s fun to buy new cosmetics, but investing in
professional brushes that
have specific purposes will
help you replicate the look
a makeup artist creates for
you. Bite the bullet and
toss those ratty brushes!
Bronzer can add warmth
and life to the face. Because
women are usually a shade
or two lighter on their faces
than their bodies, matte
bronzer in the right tone
can warm the skin and
softly contour the face.
It also helps even out
the skin tone difference
between the face and neck.
