Quick Tip: Make Eyes Appear Uplifted in 30 seconds

Need a quick tip to make your eyes appear uplifted?

Use a concealer at the outer corner of your eyes. We know we need it in the inside corners to cover that dark, hollow look we all get. However, using the concealer just under your outer lower lashes and extended upward and out slightly beyond your eye line. Be sure to blend well. Use a lighter color than you use on the rest of your face (gives a nice bright glow). Note about this: Do not use white or a color drastically lighter, just a shade lighter.

This tip works best if you use a makeup brush. Draw a line of concealer under your outer (only) lower lashes and out beyond your eye line. Use a sponge to blend. Dab a little light powder on it for staying power (Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Powder works well).

And, as always, curl your lashes before applying mascara. This really does help make your eyes appear wide open. I use a drugstore-brand curler (Revlon) and warm it a bit with my blow dryer before using. This tip will make your outer eye look lifted, give you a rested and awake look. It works!

Beauty Review: Accent Cellulite Treatment: Does it REALLY work?

Review: Accent for Cellulite Alright, is there anything (short of curing major diseases) that would earn someone billions if it could really work to rid us of this stuff? I’ve tried it all, and I do mean it ALL, when it comes to ridding my poor thighs of this scourge. Honestly, all the workouts, weights, creams, pills, massage, Endermologie (works a little–very temporary), mesotherapy (ouch! I hate needles, so this wasn’t a big seller for me) in the world hasn’t worked. Believe me, I’ve tried. When I saw an ad in my local paper for a new treatment, Accent, accompanied with some pretty awesome before and afters pics, I tore it out and made the call. If it worked as well as what the pictures showed, count me in. I made an appointment with the Skinovative clinic that ran the ad. It’s in the mall, so I had some trepidation…after all, skin treatments in the mall? At least it didn’t involve needles or invasive treatments, so what could be the harm. I bravely waited for my appointment. In the...

20 Minute Facelift & Eye Lift

Can you see a difference? Check out the right eye vs. the left? Which looks higher, tighter, more youthful? OK, here’s the answer… Facelifter: Natural Facelift in a Bottle Perusing the internet one day several months ago I ran across a product that purported to give a non-surgical facelift (yeah, right, I thought). The thing is, this product came with pictures that looked pretty good. They seemed realistic and they definitely showed an improvement in the faces. The skin was toned, the muscles firmer and lifted. They looked great. So I read some more. And some more. I tend to really READ into the websites I visit trying to get glimpses into the “catch” or the real deal behind the claims. After reading and studying the pictures and viewing the video clips, I decided to order the product. This is a HUGE leap for me, because unless it’s a well-known product or someone I know and trust (aka Oprah) touts it, I generally don’t buy it from an anonymous website. I guess I’m a skeptic after gett...

Beauty Review: Dr. Graf Skin Deep & Dr. Brandt Lasertight

Howdy! Here are a couple review of products used by the over 40 set and what I think of them (for what it’ worth). I’ve used them each several times, followed directions and carefully noted results. Dr. Brandt Laser in a Bottle–Lasertight OK, first of all, yikes! The pricetag for this stuff at most retail outlets will be over $100.00. You can find it cheaper on the web, but it’s still a lot of money for the quantity. That said, I have used a few pricey products over the years that are worth the money (or close to it, anyway). I’m not a bargain-hunter per se, but I do know that a lot of ingredients in these pricey products are the same stuff in the drugstore brands. However, they do also usually contain higher priced ingredients. The real “ingredient” you’re paying for is the packaging, marketing, etc. Dr. Brandt Lasertight is a delicate pink liquid dispensed from a pump bottle in tiny amounts. Purported to firm using antioxidants and sweet pea extract (?), it should be applied on fresh...
