Instant glam!

In the post holiday catch-up everybody could use some pick me up! So, a great way to do that is to expose your peepers! Get your minds out of the gutter now, peepers are eyes. (perv's)

The trick is to get some powder about 1-2 shades lighter that your skin tone or foundation and a small rounded brush. Dip the brush in the shadow and tap off the excess. Sweep it into the arch below your eyebrow all the way down to your lashes. Remember, if it looks like your eyes are glowing, then it is too light, so bring it up a couple shades. The effect is supposed to open up your eyes. It should make them pop out! Also, apply this same shadow on the dark spot in between your eyes and the side of your nose. Instantly you look younger and more alive! However this effect will only work if your brows are neatly shaped, so remember the golden rule ladies: A shapely brow makes a shapely face! (In all truth, the brows can make or break your face.) This trick should be applied after foundation but before mascara to acheive the right effect. Some of the powder will float off of the brush onto your lashes. This is OK! It will only make your lashes appear thicker, but you must apply mascara or people will see the dust.

Double duty! This same trick can also be used just below the outer corners of your lips. Just swipe and blend the powder approximately 1/3 of the way in on each side of your lower lips and it will instantly lift your lips and make you appear as though you can't stop smiling!
