The Eyes
For Deep-Set Eyes: Rely on
pale, shimmery shades to enhance your eyes.
Sweep a light eye shadow shade across lid from
inner corner to a small bit beyond the outer
corner. Place a touch of a deeper shade in the
eye crease. Blend.
For Wide-Set Eyes: Make
them appear closer by applying a deeper eye
shadow shade from inner corner to mid-lid. Apply
a lighter shade from mid-lid to outer corner.
Blend in the middle of lid where shades meet.
For Close-Set Eyes: Make
them appear wider by applying a dot of concealer
to the innermost corner of both eyes. Create
a very thin pencil line near lash edge of top
lid that thickens toward the outer corner. Create
a very thin eye shadow in a pale shade from
inner corner to mid-lid; apply a just-slightly
deeper shade from mid-lid to outer corner; blend
in the middle.
LIPS
Lips are an integral part
of makeup. Moist, smooth lips hold colour best.
Look beautiful by following these basic tips
for healthy and great looking lips.
Your lip colour should flatter
and liven your complexion. Pale skins should
avoid strong, vivid colours which may harden
the look. Dark sin looks exotic with bright,
punchy flame-like colours. Sallow skins should
avoid yellow tones like oranges and some browns.
Matte lipsticks are no longer in fashion. Glossy
lip colours are in vogue.

Application of lipstick is an art in itself.
You can achieve different kinds of look
with different techniques of applying lip
colour. You can create a sexy pout and make
thin lips look full. |

| Procedure:
: |
| |
|
With a lip brush, make a ‘v’
on the cut on the upper lip and outline
either side to the out corners. |
| |
|
Follow the lip line down either
side of the lower lip meeting at the centre. |
| |
|
Fill in with lipstick directly applied
within the outline. |
| |
|
For a richer effect apply clear gloss
to the centre of your lips. |

Morning
Give dry, flaky lips the brush-off; add "brushing
your lips" to your morning ritual using
a soft toothbrush or terry washcloth. Now add
some lip balm to smooth the way for lipstick-worthy
lips!
Bedtime
Apply moisturising cream before going to bed.
Always give your lips a touch of clear, rich
moisture at bedtime. Do it each night, and you'll
wake up to softer lips in no time at all!
All day
Avoid over-exposure to the sun, which can dry
your lips the way it dries the rest of you.
If you spend a lot of time outdoors, we suggest
a 'triple' lipstick, with moisturizers and sunscreen
built right in.
How to find more suitable colour
Most important things for right colour choosing
are skin colour, hair colour and shape of your
lips.
For light skin and blonde hair: all shades
of orange, pink, purple.
For dark skin and dark hair: all shades of
red, violet.
For light skin and dark hair: all shades of
brown and beige.
For red hair women: coral-red, brown and bronze
colours.
Try These Out
Shimmery Lips
Beauty's latest crush is with shimmery lip
colors in golden shades and iced pastels. Keep
your lips looking sweet with moisturizing lipsticks
or glosses in pearly nude, candy pink, lilac,
silver and gold.
Party Lips
Party season demands high profile lips! Treat
him to flavor-filled kisses with fruit-flavored
lip-glosses. For that techno, ultra-gloss look
- apply a dash of metallic lip-gloss over lipstick
in the center of your lips.
Puckering Lips
Pucker-proof lips are a sure thing when you
use a lip pencil to fill in your entire lip
area (not just the edges) and then top with
gloss in a slightly lighter color.
Lip Color
Red and wine colors rock on lips. Choose a
sheer shade to be safe or if you're daring,
try solid color. Reds with yellow or orange-bases
suit darker skin tones whilst reds with blue-bases
suit fairer skins.
Glossy lips
Gloss is more fashionable than lipstick and
you can get away with it at school. So think
baby lips - hints of pink and a natural shine.
We love Poppy Shine, Blistex Lip Conditioner
and Clinique Glosswear.
Kissable Lips
Chapped lips don't look pretty and aren't nice
to kiss, so make sure yours are always smooth
and soft by applying lip balm every day. The
best ones to soothe dry lips are Blistex, Bonne
Bell, Body Shop and Carmex.
Luscious Lips
For smooth, lush lips, smear a little lip balm
underneath your lipstick or a dab of thick gloss
in the center of your lips. We love pinks and
berries for March.
Lipcolour Shades That
Best For Your Skin Tone
Are you a fair skinned and want to wear a red
lipstick? Or maybe, you're a medium olive skin
tone, looking for a pink lipstick that will
look right for you. Here's a guide for most
skin tones to help you chose the correct shade
of lipstick that is most suitable for you.
Fair skin
Deep plum reds: Soft berry and wine reds with
a blue undertone. Avoid reds with an orange
undertone. These can make you look washed out
and ashy. Sheer medium brown with pink undertones
or beige lipsticks with a pink undertone flatter
fair skins.
Browns: Mocha browns, and darker brown/pink
lipsticks are also flattering for an evening
lip look. Extra pale browns with yellow undertones,
make fair skin look washed out.
Pinks: Pinks look fantastic on fair skin. sheer,
light shiny pink lipsticks with blue undertones
work well. Pink with a slight gold shimmer also
enhance this skin tone very nicely. Dusty roses
with or without shimmer are good ones. Stay
away from hot pink lipstick as it overpowers
fair skins.
Medium skin
Deep reds are most flattering. Blue-reds brighten
medium skin with a yellow undertone. Brown,
warm reds will soften and look warm on medium
skin.
Browns: Browns that are very pale can make medium
skins look ashy and washed out. Stick to rich
caramel shades, medium brown with yellow or
pink undertones, and creamy coffee colour browns.
Sheer browns in these varying shades can also
be very flattering.
Pinks: Rich and deep pinks which tend to fall
on warm look best on medium skin. Also pinks
with brown undertones enhance and flatter medium
skins very well. Sheers, creams, and mattes
can all be tried and tested with much success
using these shades of pink.
Olive/Yellowish skin
Rich, deep brown reds and deep, dark berry
shades. Stay away from orange/reds and pink/reds.
Browns: Browns with a red or auburn/mahogany
undertone work well with this skin tone. Also,
rich browns that resemble coffee, toffee, and
chocolate colors work well.
Pinks: Deep berries, rich rose, and soft to
medium plums are very flattering to this skin
tone which have very strong yellow undertones.
Avoid pinks that are to cool and too light as
these pinks can make complexion look draining.
Brown/Black skin
Try red with a blue undertone, which are deep
and rich. Also, mahogany, and deep plums, and
wine reds are worth trying. Avoid orange and
pink reds here.
Browns: Almost any shade of brown suits black
skin. Sheer and shimmery light browns to a rich,
dark, coffee brown.
Pinks: Medium and soft sheer pinks are very
flattering. A hint of pink in glosses and sheers
with a touch of beige can really enhance this
skin tone. Berries, deep roses, and plums also
flatter this skin tone.
