Foundation isn't supposed to be orange?
Did someone mention bags under their eyes? Okay, so you know now I modeled. I
know stuff. Makeup stuff. Makeup stuff that could help you a lot. So here are some nuggets of wisdom from Emmers.
1) Tucks pads do WONDERS for puffy eyes. So do cooled, wet, plain tea, tea bags. I don't know how but it works like a charm.
2) Once the makeup hits a 6 month birthday, no matter how attached you are to your 1987 blue mascara and matching eyeshadow, it has to go. Bacteria builds up and voila' you have an eye infection or zit attack. Throw it out and discover the latest in makeup technology along with some fashion sense (come on? blue eyeshadow?????)
3) Speaking of mascara, never pump the wand in the mascara tube, the more air exposure to the glob of mascara inside, the more bacteria.
4) When applying lipstick: Rule of thumb ~ Darker makes you look older. Even if you put a dab of lighter in the center of your lips and a darker along the outside, the lighter bit will knock off years. Really.
5) When lipstick is applied, put one finger in your mouth like a sucker and pull it out. Not only does hubby think you are making naughty suggestions from across the room, you will also remove any lipstick from your lips that would instead be landing on your teeth. Cause we all know how attractive
that is.
6) If you can't stand the pinch of tweezing, pull out the baby teething numbing gel or some Ambesol and apply to the area of skin you plan on tweezing. It will take out the pain of tweezing for those who aren't already numb habitual tweezers like me (due to my
Dukakis tendencies).
7) If you need a guide for tweezing at home so you don't look like Betty Boop or find yourself with bald brow, you have to check this out.
How to Pluck your EyebrowsI do not make any warranties or guarantees that these will work. I also take no responsibility if your teeth do manage to get lipstick on them or you accidentally get some Ambesol in your eye. Use these at your own risk even though they have worked FABULOUSLY for me.
SUPERSTAR!!!
PS. Anyone have anything to add??? Comment, please!!
