GOOD LOOKS

Seriously, I don't know how to wear makeup. And i don't wear any face powder. I just don't like it. It's just not comfortable for me to wear. On the other hand, it consume alot of time to do it. But some people can't get out in their houses without wearing those makeup and they always carry those things in the bags wherever they go. In addition, they said it is not hard to do it. It takes a little time to do it.

One of my co-worker told me to wear makeup and they will teach me how to do it. Well, i will think about it. I tried it once here at home by myself but when i saw what i did to my face in the mirror,I'm scared of what i saw. I showed it to my husband what i did to my face and he just said, it is better for me not to wear makeup and it will show the real me whom he fell in love with and became his wife now. But once in awhile, I tried a little bit of makeup for a change. By the way, it's new year - and new me/you! Look prettier, faster, with these insider tips from top experts as follows.


EASIEST MAKEUP TRICKS EVER

LIP SERVICE

  • PICK THE RIGHT SHADE
What most of us do: Swipe a possible new color on the back of our hand to see if it flatters.A better idea, says San Antonio-based celeb makeup artist starley murray: Test the lipsticks on your fingertip-that way, you can hold the color next to your face to see how it looks. (no mirror? Your finger is still a better gauge, since it's similar in color and texture to your lips.)


  • GET BUFF.
For the prettiest finish, run your toothbrush over your lips to exfoliate any dry skin (a damp paper towel also can do the job). Post-scrub, lipstick will glide on without caking.


  • FILL IN FINE LINES
Here's way to keep lipstick from feathering( a great trick if you have a tiny wrinkles above your upper lip): Coat your mouth and go slightly outside your lip line with a clear balm- like plain chapstick- before applying color." Like invisble sparkle," says celebrity makeup artist Shalini Vadhera, " it keeps your lipstick from travelling."


  • EXTEND THE LIFE OF YOUR LIPSTICK
So you'd like your color to last through lunch , but you don't like to feel of long-wearing formulas? Here's a tip from makeup guru Laura Mercier: Apply a coat of regular lipstick, and press it with a single-ply tissue and powder lightly (over the tissue) with a puff or brush. This sets the color and prevents running and feathering.


  • PLUMP UP.
For a finishing touch, dab the middle of your lower lip with a bit of silver or gold lip gloss. Any makeup artist worth his shimmer powder will tell you this is the fastest route to creating the illusion of fullness. But remember: If you blot or purse your lips, you'll blur the Jolie effect.
