TO KEEP you looking
fresh and pretty from
morming to midnight, you
may need a few refreshing
touch-ups.

FASHION STATEMENTS

-Even when you've had a hard
day, your feet hurt and you feel
frazzled, you don’t. have to look
the way you feel. In fact, if you
heighten your appearance, the
psychology of looking better
almost guarantees that you also
will feel better.

Try these quick
revitalized look.

@ (1) Don’t wash your face.

Contrary to what you may
usually do, don’t make yourself
start from scratch on your make-
up. At the end of the day, you
probably don’t want to give
yourself a complete makeup job.

Often, all you need is a little
spritz of water on your face and
neck, that you can keep at work
and take home with you. Blot
surface dirt and excess water off.

@ (2) Conceal a tired look. .

If it’s been a long day, or a late
night before, chances are your
eyes look tired. You may need a
makeup concealer beneath them to
hide dark circles,

Dot foundation or coverstick in
an inverted V-shape directly
beneath eye and blend well with
finger or sponge.

@ (3) Powder your nose.

Teli-tale signs of the day’s
events can be read on a greasy
complexion, but instead of briskly
brushing the powder across the
face, hesitate a moment. Lightly
press it into the skin and then
blend it to give you a soft com-
plexion that wilf be flattering in
evening light.

If you. would rather not use
powder but want to get cid of the
shine, try a fight blotting of
distilled witch hazel on the af-
fected areas. :
@ (4) Add just a touch of warmth
to the cheeks.

Don’t overdo the blusher even
if you think you look pale. The
trick is where you put it, not how
much. .

To brighten your face, add it

along the top of the cheekbone,
the browbone (just below temples)
and the chin, but just the slightest
dusting.
@ (5) A smudgy or non-existent
lip line can allow your makeup to
look like it’s been working all
day.

After several hours lipstick
tends to bleed if you don’t add a
good base first.

When applying

steps to a

after-hours

foundation or powder, be sure to
go over lips too, then use a pencil
liner to make a crisp outline that
will “hold” the lipstick in place.
© (6) Make your eyes conte alive,
but not with a lot of added color.

You don’t need to ‘yer on
overall color, just give special
highlights to specific areas to
make eyes look bright.

A pale shadow (soft pink,
yellow or cream) brushed onto the
inside corner of your upper lid,
just below the brow, or smudged
direcily below the lower lid will
make your eyes look luminous.

To give eyes more depth, dark-
en the crease on the upper lid with
a smudged shadow in a dark
shade such as charcoal or taupe.

@ (7) Outline the cye.

it is not only fashionable to
have a ’70s lined eye, it also gives
eyes more definition.

Liquid liner is not difficult to
learn to use, if you have never
tried it, and nothing else gives the
same crisp outline to enhance eyes
when they are tired.

If you prefer, though, a black
pencil eyeliner smudged on the
outer half of upper and lower eye
line will also work.

@ (8) Don’t forget eyelashes and
brows.

Mascara is one of the most
essential tools for refreshing your
makeup. .

First wiggle the wand back and
forth at the base of the lashes to
separate them, then pull the color
through to the ends. After com-
pleting lashes, when the wand is
fairly dry, don’t return it to the
mascara tube until you have light-
ly brushed the wand upward onto
your brows.

This gives brows thickness and
darkness (framing the eyes) with
an easier and more natural Jook
than an eyebrow pencil gives.
© (9) You will look like you spent
hours getting ready, if you make
hair look radiant.

Simply smooth on one of the
new hair glosses which close the
hair cuticle to reflect light and
make hair shine.

These products come in a spray

mist shine or a light gel, and real-
ly do leave hair sleek, shiny and
without frizzies.
@ (10) If you are at the office or
making errands all day, create a
small cosmetics kit that is portable
enough for your purse, to touch
up during the day.

Use tester sizes or purse-sized
makeup, available by most manu-
facturers, along with cut-up picces
of sponge and Q-Tips, in 2 pretty
plastic case. Then you will always
be ready to go out in just minutes,
because you can freshen up on the
spot.

Chanel has some of the most
compact cosmetic packaging of
any manufacturers. Its new Con-
tour Colour is the latest addition
to the tiny collection of makeup
portables which also includes
Colour Confidence miniature
lipsticks and blush.

Contour Colour is made for
highlighting, shadowing and con-
touring facial shape, and pro-
viding an all-over ‘‘face blush’’
that gives a soft glow to the face.

Tne fight-reflecting properties
are said to minimize skin im-
perfections. It comes in a small
shadow-sized compact that has a
triangular brush inside, and is
available in woodrose, cameo,
nude, coral and cognac.
