Forget the old beauty maxims
and find your own style.
Rule: Don't wear lipstick without a lipliner
Reality: Most shades, especially creamy formulas, look
more natural if you skip the liner. To help lipcolor go on neatly,
New York City-based makeup artist Genevieve suggests that you
apply it with a lip brush. (Use a lipliner when your lipstick
is a very dark or super-bright shade: Deep hues have more pigment,
which tends to wander, and liner creates a barrier.)
Rule: The apples of your cheeks are the only spot to
apply blush
Reality: If you have a perfectly oval face shape, stick
with the apples. For the rest of us, makeup pro Alyssa Evans
for Nubest & Co. Salon, in Manhasset, New York, offers these
strategies. Square face: Brush blusher just under the cheekbones.
Round: Sweep blusher along cheekbones, up toward temples. Heart-shaped:
Start at outer eye corners and glide toward temples.
