Beauty Quickie: If you are prone to develop dark eye circles it is best to avoid using mascara on your lower lashes. Applying mascara on the lower lashes can cast a shadow causing the area under your eyes to look even darker.

Beauty Quickie: Prevent pencil eyeliner from running away from your face by applying powder in a shade slightly darker or lighter than the pencil shade. Simply place the powder right over the area that has been penciled. This little trick will prevent your eyeliner from smudging with subtlety.
Beauty Quickie: Get brighter, dazzling looking eyes by applying gold eyeshadow right above the lash line as well as the inner corner of the eyes. By applying a light eyeshadow you help open up your eyes bringing them center stage.
Beauty Quickie: Ever wake up in the morning and realize the little corner of product inside your tube of makeup was actually gone days ago? Running out of a beauty product can happen to the best of us but should not cause you anxiety. If you need to prime lids for eye makeup first apply moisturizer followed by foundation. These steps will help lock your makeup in place just like primer.

1966 Magazine Editor Alicia Suggs dishes on her new favorite beauty product and explains why it could just be your next beauty buy as well.
1966: Okay Alicia so tell us about this product that you are obsessed with now.
Alicia: Alright, it’s called Maybelline New York Master Glaze By FaceStudio and the shade that I am currently wearing in the picture is Make a Mauve. I love it because at times I have such a hard time finding a blush that will give me a more natural flush. I have a very yellow undertone to my skin so applying strong red or super pink blushes makes me look like Homie the Clown (laughs). Not a good look!
1966: What type of blush do you normally wear then?
Alicia: I usually just stick to a blush that is more peachy-orange. I find that such a shade is more universally pleasing on all skin tones so I stick to that family of tints. However, I love the look of rosy cheeks on women, to me it gives such a youthful, fresh look to the skin.
1966: Agreed. So then, why do you recommend Maybelline New York Master Glaze?
Alicia: If you have a strong undertone like me, you already know the struggle. This product seems to almost diffuse the yellow undertone giving me a nice warm complexion. Also, it lasts and stays on all day without having to reapply which helps save on product and money in the end.
1966: Thanks Alicia for taking the time the share and everyone go check out Maybelline New York Master Glaze by FaceStudio!
Beauty Quickie: Tweezing your brows does not have to be a painful experience, this beauty routine can be fixed in a pinch (all pun intended). Begin by softening your skin with a cotton ball that has been soaked with warm water or facial cream. Dab the cotton all over the tweeze area before you start to pluck.
“Beauty deprived of its proper foils and adjuncts ceases to be enjoyed as beauty, just as light deprived of all shadows ceases to be enjoyed as light.”
