How to Solve the Most Common Beauty Problems

For wider, more open eyes

---Apply eyeliner close to lash line from the outer to the inner corner.

---Continue under the lower lashes.

---Do not line inside of the lower lid,  as this closes in a small eye.

To correct wide-set eyes:

---Apply eye pencil from center of  upper and lower lid to inner  corners of the eye.

To correct close-set eyes

---Apply eye pencil to upper and  lower lid from center to outer  corner of eye.

For more dramatic eyes

---Add darker liner to upper and lower lids, and  smudge to create a smokey look.

---Almond-shaped eyes look wonderful when liner color is added to the inside of the lower lid.

---Add eyeliner after eye shadow, and smudge with  eye shadow brush to set look.

For more alert eyes

Lining only upper lids draws tired eyes upward,  creating the illusion of alertness and youth.

Apply  liner beginning at inside corner of upper lid,  thickening the line while moving outward.

When  creating this effect, do not apply mascara to  lower lashes.

About Brows

Brows frame the eye.

--Inner brows should begin at  inside corner of eye.

--Brow should peak softly at a 45  degree angle over the eyes.

--Brow should taper out  gradually to a thin but soft point.

--Brow end should extend beyond outer corner of the eye.

--Always pluck brow hairs in the direction they are growing.

How to fill in brows for a finished look:

• With brow pencil, start at fullest part of brow.

• Shade along edge with very light, feathery strokes, filling in sparse areas.

• Eyebrow should be fullest close to the bridge of the nose, ascending to soft peak and tapering down at the end.

• Optional finish: With brow wand, apply Keratonics Shaping Gel in an upward motion, lifting brow hairs for a freshly groomed look.

• Lip gloss makes lips look immediately plumper and younger looking.

• Use lip gloss without lip liner to enhance the appearance of plumpness.

• Lighter, creamier lip colors make lips look more abundant and young.

• Add a touch of light lip gloss with dark lipstick to center of upper and lower lip to enhance fullness.

• To make lip color last longer, fill in entire lip with lip pencil. Follow with lipstick or lip gloss.
