Makeup The Ladies Need To Know

Continued from our Retreat & Renew Daily Tip.

1. The more cream, the better moisturized I’ll be
You really only need a thin layer, anything else is just excess that sits atop the skin, making you look greasy.

2. The stronger the exfoliant, the better
Using strong exfoliating products can end up causing eczema, rashes and can make your skin even more sensitive over time.

3. Foundation hides wrinkles
Every time you laugh, frown, smile or wink, the sticky product just sinks into those lines, making them only more noticeable. Ever put a clay mask on and try to smile, think about that look?!

4. Light-eyed people should wear dark eye shadow
Wearing eye shadow similar to your eye color actually brings out the color of your eyes, rather than detract from them.

5. Shimmer is only for the young
The little specks pick up the light, instantly making your face look younger and detracting from wrinkles.

6. A thicker lip line means fuller-looking lips
It actually just draws attention to the fact that you’re trying to pump up your pucker. Wear a lip liner that is just the tiniest bit darker than your lipstick, or the same color. That should reduce the number of “what was I thinking?!” photos.
