Mirror… make it your best friend

Here’s the first tip on makeup: go for the natural look. Fresh, clean make-up is the demand of this season.

How should you do your make-up on a bright day?

Avoid heavy foundation because it looks much too gaudy. Use the Avon Color Stick Concealer for a basic touch-up. Make your eyes attractive with simple kajal and mascara that doesn’t smudge and use a natural lip gloss to add shine to your lips.

Your best option here will be:

•  Mary Kay Concealer, Mary Kay Medium Coverage Foundation and Mary Kay Loose Powder for a flawless finish.
  
• Lancome Hypnose Waterpro of Mascara.
  
• Revlon Luxurious Lengths. This will make your lashes look up to 50 per cent longer and curvier.

From office to the party

Don’t have enough time to re-do your make-up? Here’s how you can do a quick makeover… seal your lipstick with a lipgloss. Go for the Mary Kay NouriShine Lipgloss. Gloss adds instant glamour to your face. Apply a liquid eye liner and sweep it just beyond the outside corner of the eye; this gives you a classic, dramatic look that's always on-trend. If you prefer pencil eyeliners, try Mary Kay Eyeliner in Black. For added drama, apply a second coat of Mary Kay Lash Lengthening Mascara to complete your day-to-night eye look.
