easy way to apply? Try mixing olive oil with water (3

parts olive oil to 1 part water) in a spray bottle, and

spritz on dry hair at night. Or, for help with those dry

Blush Beauty Tips

What it is:A unique, multi-colored, patterned blush combines a mixture

of three blush colors pressed into one tin.What it is formulated to

do:When combined with a blush brush, the three colors create one

harmonious and easy-to-wear shade that is both blendable and

buildable for foolproof color application every time. The ultra sheer,

lightly opalescent color gives the skin a translucent glow rather than a

heavy, overly shimmery look and the oil-free formula is suitable for all

bringing attention to your eyes. By applying color

directly 'under' your eye on the apples of your

cheeks, you will draw attention to your eyes.

48.

optical illusion is great for showing off that beautiful

hairstyle, or for the bride at the her wedding. Smile,

and apply blush on the apples of your cheeks, and

then blend straight back towards the top of your ear.

By 'blending' backwards, you bring the focus of the

line going straight back to, you guessed it; your

hairstyle.

49.

Apply blush close to the apples of your cheeks, and

avoid blending out beyond that point. By keeping the

focus of the color right underneath your eye, you give

the illusion of a smaller face and you create a 'line'

that 'divides' the face in half."

chubby lip pencil in a wine or bronze shade on your

cheeks. Blend and then apply a touch of your colored

more staying power than powder alone.

51.

hours wear isn't enough. Call it the professional in

me but sometimes I just want my blush to last all day

long. Here's a quick trick that I found out

accidentally....I applied one morning my 'blush'

colored powder blush and an hour later, touched up

with my liquid stain on top. It's a little tricky to blend

because the powder blush underneath makes the

stain dry quicker, but I noticed that the stain color

stayed on for hours.....and I do mean hours.About

5-6 hours later when I checked. it was still on.

52.

contouring color. Try a deeper, warmer shade of

your skin tone for color. Apply in the hollows of your

cheekbones. Then apply right in the indentation of

your temple. By adding contour here as well, you

create the illusion of a stronger cheekbone by going

in (temple), out (cheekbone) and then in again

(underneath the cheekbone).

53.

soft gold shimmer eye shadow. Apply lightly with a

large fluffy blush brush to spot apply on tops of

cheekbones, over eyeshadow, on lips for a day to

shimmer. Sexy.

the size of the blush brush. If you find that your blush

is going everywhere, it could be your blush brush is

too large. Take your brush,then smile. Hit the apple

of the cheek with the tips of the bristles. Does the

brush spray out over the apple of the cheek? The

brush is too large. You want the brush to fit perfectly.

Perfect application everytime.

55.

The easiest application is with a fan brush, not the

regular bronzer brush. A fan brush dusts just the

right amount onto the top of the forehead, tops of

cheekbones, across the nose and across the chin.

Eyeshadow Beauty Tips

This collection of gorgeous, easy to apply, loose powder shadows

contains a customized blend of pearl particles or glitter, to bring out

the individual radiance of each shade. Each pot contains its very own

brush that makes application easy and mess-free, with coverage

ranging from sheer to intense, depending on the look you desire.

For best results, pick up your eye shadow color

with the side of your eye shadow brush, not the tips.

Running the brush across with the tips of the bristles

only picks up too much product, and sends it flying.

You know this is you if you get a 'hole' in the middle

of your color. Apply by pressing on the color instead

of brushing it on to avoid color from falling. Great for

applying dark and heavily frosted and glitter colors.
