We spied with our beauty eyes a few ladies holding a pink party and we want in on that action! Pink eyes and pink lips (muted of course) are a stunning combo for the cooler months ahead. Extend the color on the eyes outward in the same vein of a cat-eye to add more edginess to your look.
“Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.”

Beauty Quickie: If you have shaky hands or sometimes you can not always guage exactly where to place your makeup correctly there are many products found in the home that can help guide you. To contour cheeks properly, take a spoon and place the indented or inside part against the apple of your cheeks. You can locate the apple or roundest part of your cheeks by smiling. Once you have the spoon in place you can then use the bottom edge to guide you in creating the perfect contoured look.

Beauty Quickie: How soon should you apply moisturizer after cleansing your face or the rest of your skin? Aim to moisturize your skin as soon as possible, preferably within 60 seconds. After a minute dry air will literally begin to pull moisture from the skin. During winter, air tends to be even drier than other seasons which could only increase any dryness experienced. Keep skin smooth and supple by making a point to add moisture right after washing your face or showering.
“Every year of my life I grow more convinced that it is wisest and best to fix our attention on the beautiful and the good, and dwell as little as possible on the evil and the false.”

Beauty Quickie: Always keep an extra set of mascara wands on hand to take the clump out of your lashes. Mascara formulas have come a long way, but still even the best ones will need a helping hand every now and then. Before your mascara completely dries take a clean mascara wand and comb through your eyelashes. Not only will this ensure that your lashes do not clump, but will create a fuller more lush eye look.
“Taking joy in living is a woman’s best cosmetic.”

Beauty Quickie: Want full, voluminous eyelashes but your hairs are a little on the thin and sparse side? Add and create bulk before applying mascara by dusting your lashes with translucent powder.
