| The
most beautiful thing is
the world is the ability
to accept ourselves for
what we are and accept others
for what they are. People
cannot and need not be perfect.
You don't have to live up
to others' expectations
of you. |

Tips |

|
| • |
If
you have small upper eyelids,
avoid dark eye shadows.
It will make your eyes look
even smaller. Just a single
light shadow (try shimmery
silver) applied right up
to your brows will do the
trick. A very thin black
line across the base of
your upper lashes will further
enhance your eyes. |
|
| • |
If you have freckled skin,
massage your face with olive
oil and lemon juice. Use
a scrub and gently but firmly
clean your face in a circular
motion. Avoid thick foundations.

French
manicure is no longer just
plain white. You can now
indulge your passion for
pastels and paint the tip
of your nails in soft pink,
lilac and baby blue. May
be even sheer metallic.
As for the rest of the nail,
a sheer topcoat in the same
colour is recommended. |
|
| • |
The
shape of the nail should
neither be square nor oval.
The shape that has caught
the fantasy of fashion gurus
is ‘squoval’
- longish, with straight
edges and rounded tips!

The
colours of the millennium
for your lips, eyes and
nails range from silvery
lilacs to dark purples,
from icy pinks to heavy
bronzes to even shimmery
greens. If you still haven’t
caught on, the emphasis
is on ‘glitter’,
shine and sparkle. |
|
| • |
Tweeze
your eyebrows after a bath.
Or apply a hot cloth on
your brows before you do.
This will loosen the hair
follicles. Remember to follow
your brows’ natural
shape and taper off gradually.
|
|
| • |
To
prevent eye movement while
applying mascara, look up
and then stretch the eye
by pushing the eyebrow with
your finger. Then look down
and apply mascara on top
lashes. |
|
| • |
If
you have dry skin, avoid
moisturizing immediately
before applying make-up.
Apply at least two hours
before that. Don’t
use a dry sponge to pat
the face. Dampen it before
using. |
|
| • |
Control
your urge to apply powder
on your shiny nose. This
will ruin your compact powder
kit. Instead, use a blotting
paper and absorb the oil
first. You can even use
tissues. Blot the oily areas
with a single layer of tissue.
Take care not to wipe or
smear. |
|
| • |
Dust
shimmer powder along collarbone
with a large brush. When
wearing a short skirt, dust
the powder on your knees
so that it catches the light
and draws attention to your
legs. Sweep some on your
shoulder blades when wearing
a low-cut blouse. But make
sure the colour is not drastically
different from your skin
colour. |
