Eyeshadow tips

Eyeshadow will last up to 3 years.

Extra tip: A dark eyeshadow can double as eyeliner, in fact, most makeup artists swear by eyeshadow used as eyeliner. You'll need a super-flat eyeliner brush for this (MAC & Aveda have the best brushes).

Get the brush a little damp & dab in dark eyeshadow (black, brown or deep jewel-tones work great). Wiggle the brush into your lash line focusing on the space between your lashes, then sweep the color just above your lash line.

Sunscreen

A common myth many people have is that dry skin leads to wrinkles & moisturizers can prevent them. Not true. Actually 90 percent of wrinkles are caused by the suns UVA light & sun damage is the #1 cause of premature aging in women & men.

Why is UVA so bad? Even at low-level exposures, UVA light erodes the skin's support structure, breaking down collagen, causing wrinkles & sagging. What's worse, scientists have found that UVA penetrates deep into the underlying support structure of the skin & is the culprit for most deadly melanomas. If you want protection from both UVA & UVB rays, check your sunscreen for at least one these 3 products: Titanium dioxide & zinc oxide or avobenzene.And make sure your skin protection has at least a an SPF of 15.

How long can your nail polish last?

Up to 12 months, depending on the quality & how many times you take it on a plane (the cap always unscrews on me during flights, leaving my purse a -- fume-y -- mess!) When traveling always put your nail polish in a plastic bag - just in case!

Hot Tips

Here's a couple fun I learned from a book i recently read:

1. Prevent 'gardener's hands': Love to dig in the dirt, but don't want dirty nails? Run your nails along a cake of soap. Your nails will clog with the soap, not dirt, & will be easy to clean once done.

2. Don't want swimmer's ear? Give your ears a quick blast with the blow dryer -- the moisture will dry up, pronto.

3. Nails need to dry faster? Dip them in a ice water for 10 minutes (yikes!) or spray them with ...

How to deal with blackheads

Blackheads won't magically go away when you reach twenty-one, but proper cleansing techniques can get rid of them REGARDLESS of your age. It's all in how you care for your skin... it really is.

Here's How:
1. When open pores fill with sebum and are exposed to the air, the oil becomes oxidized and then turns black.

2. Be sure to eat as healthy a diet as you can. It really is important. My son noticed that when he consumed a lot of junk food, his skin grew oilier and tons of blemishes appeared. Sorry, but it's true.

3. It is just as important to be sure that you are adequately cleaning your face. We need to get the dirt and oil off the face each night. But washing too often can result in the oil being replaced. Wash twice a day, but do a thorough job.

4. Be sure to change your pillowcases every night. Oil can build up on the case and that could be ground into your skin.

5. Extractions can be easily done by a professional. It takes mere minutes and the blackheads are gone.

6. Be sure to spend extra cleaning time on the area that are most prone to blackheads. The nose is often forgotten and this area is often riddled with blackheads.

7. Be sure that the towel you are using is clean. A dirty towel will simply rub dirt/oil back into your skin.

5 Summer Looks

I've perused the latest issues of the magazines (I get about 10 a month) & am here to report what's hot (& not) for summer...

1. Chignons. Long hair is still the rave & there's no cooler look for summer than a simple-yet-messy bun, the chignon.

2. Liquid liner. This retro trend is back for now so enjoy it. Use a dark black & start at the inner corner of your upper lashline & draw outward, thickening as you go. Leave your bottom lid bare & whatever you do, don't play up your lips.

3. Part hair in the center. Try something new, stray from your side part & try out a center one. They're edgy & cool for summer.

4. Funky colors for your toes. Everyone's raving about Chanel's new line of nail polish colors. The 'orange-y' Orange Blossom is great for toes. Leave fingernails bare or painted in a simple gloss.

5. Consider bangs. Bangs are back. I love the long, side-swept ones. Stay away from blunt, thick bangs, like the flat-iron, they've yet to make a comeback

Mascara This product expires the fastest: Throw out after 3 months. Extra tip: If you don't want your mascara to expire faster than its fresh date, don't pump the wand in & out, you're only exposing the product to drying air.

"When Life Gives you Lemon Juice..."

"When Life Gives you Lemon Juice..."

I always stress the importance of drinking water which is one of the best tips
for great skin.

I drink so much water during the day that I like to have something different at meals, especially when dining out. I am convinced that I've tried every diet soda on the market and I've yet to find one I can tolerate. But giving in to regular soda can add hundreds -- thousands if re-fills are flowing -- of calories on to the day's quota.

I keep plenty of no-cal fruit flavored waters in the fridge at home. But those aren't always available at my local eateries. So, I like to ask for ice water with a juice glass full of extra lemon slices or a bottle of lemon juice. I add a couple packets of artificial sweetener and voila -- instant diet lemonade!

Night Time Makeup Tips

How NOT to Over-do It

If you're going out & you want to look fabulous, just remember this simple tip: Either play up your eyes or your mouth, never both. If you accentuate both features, you risk looking dated (remember the 80s?), harsh & artificial.

If you choose to play up your eyes, you can be as dramatic as you want with eyeliner, shadow & mascara. But stick to gloss or a light lipstick shade for your lips. You want your eyes to 'pop.' But you don't want them competing with your lips.

If it's your lips you want to accentuate, paint on a strong shade & line just your upper lashes with a couple strokes of mascara to finish your eyes. If your eyelids have bluish lines, you can mask that with face powder or concealer, but stay away from colored shadows -- the lighter, the better.

It's Summer: Makeup to Skip

In the summer, all you really need to look gorgeous is a swipe of mascara, lipgloss (M.A.C. Lipglass is my favorite), a sweep of bronzer & a bit of powder (over your sunscreen of course).

You really don't need heavy foundation -- when it's hot out, who wants to layer moisturizer, sunscreen & foundation? But if you can't do without, you can get all 3 in Clinique's All-In-One Moisture Sheer Tint SPF 15. Also, keep in mind that you may need a darker foundation shade in summer to match your naturally darker skin.

Blush Tips

Tips:

** Clean your brushes with baby wipes. If you don't keep your brushes clean, they'll gather bacteria and transfer it to your skin.

** For a sexy look, dab a little shimmery blush on the highest point of your cheekbone nearest your eye.

** Using powder blush? Always sweep it in one direction. Going over & over or around and around causes streaks & can hurt your brush.

** For gel blush, dab a dot on the apple of the cheek and two smaller dots graduating up the cheekbone. Blend the dots together up to the hairline.
Dusky pink blush will warm up any tired-looking skin.
