You own the best makeup money can buy. You thumb through fashion magazines to study the faces of those stick-thin, runway models. You spend two hours each morning putting on your face. And, you still don\u2019t look right. What\u2019s a girl got to do to look good around here?<\/p>

Lights, camera, action\u2026consider three things:<\/p>

What\u2019s the lighting in your make-up area? Adjust it, and you may find that you\u2019re better able to cover your flaws and accentuate your attributes.<\/p>

Picture yourself. Is the look you\u2019re struggling to attain realistic for you? The supermodel-look you\u2019re using to create your own makeup style may not be at all like you.<\/p>

Look for famous faces with features similar to your own.<\/p>

What colors and products do your look-alikes use with success Try modeling yourself after realistic ideals.<\/p>

Are you using the right colors and products?<\/p>

Learn from the pros\u2026take a lesson. Spend a half hour with a professional makeup stylist. Visit a department store\u00a0Beauty<\/a>\u00a0counter. Ask a well-put together friend for a tutorial. Take notes. Here are a few basic guidelines to keep in mind.<\/p>

Foundation Careful selection of color is essential. Remember, what looks good in January, may not in August.<\/p>

Reevaluate color often.<\/p>

Apply with sponge or fingertips. Dot foundation in the shape of a \u2018T\u2019 from forehead to chin. Then blend outward. Don\u2019t apply pressure to skin. Be sure you don\u2019t leave a \u2018defining line\u2019 along your jaw line.<\/p>

Blend any line with a tissue.<\/p>

Eyes Eye shadow is available in complementing multi-tone color combinations. It\u2019s a good idea to buy these sets, rather than individual colors, if you don\u2019t trust your own\u00a0Beauty<\/a>\u00a0know-how.<\/p>

Swipe applicator across lightest color, tap off excess powder, and sweep across lid to brow bone working from the inside out. Accent with medium tone from middle of lash to outer edge of eyes. For a smoky, night time look, use a third color as an accent. Blend colors with your pinky.<\/p>

Cheeks Using a full-sized blush brush, apply blush to brush, tap off the excess, smile and sweep color gently from apple of cheek to temple. Soften color with a tissue, if needed.<\/p>

Powder Loose powder sets make-up and extends its wear. Gently dust your made-up face.<\/p>

Lips Last Liner and lipstick are your last step. Apply and blot with a tissue.<\/p>

Less is more\u2026really! Avoid looking overly made up. Too much make-up can look worse than the flaws it\u2019s intended to hide.<\/p>

Practice, practice, practice. Do you remember how much fun it was to play with make-up as a child? Recapture that fun. Play around with different looks.<\/p>

You don\u2019t know how something will look until you try it. But, save the experiments for a slow day. Your sister\u2019s Wedding day is no day for a new you.<\/p>
