Learn the tricks for retro matte complexion look

FOUNDATION, CONCEALER, powder and their correct applica- tion are key to achieving this year’s face of the picture-perfect matte complexion reminiscent of glamorous movie stars of the past.

However, of all makeup pro- ducts, these three items, and their selection and application, are the

most intimidating to women. This”

is because there are many more elements involved, such as mat- ching skin tone, skin type and proper coverage.

What’s the right shade fos mc?

Start by choosing a foundation shade that perfectly matches your natural skin tone. To color-test makeup, apply it along your jawline to see if it blends into the skin.

Don’t forget, your skin color changes with the seasons (no mat- ter-how hard you try to stay out of the sun) so be sure to keep your foundation color updated. How do U match my skin type?

Asswer: What you and your children are experiencing are very naturel reactions to the violation of having your home broken into.

It is not uncommon to have feelings of fear that your home is not a safe place anymore. Under- standably, your private space will not seem as private anymore.

Surprisingly, the victims of break and entry will also tend to

feel a-sense of guilt, as if there

might have been something they could have done to prevent the crime. Of course, you are in no way to blame — when someone

else breaks the faw it is not the

victim’s fault.

There are efforts being made by people who deal with victims of crime to understand and support people like yourself. Victims of crime have often commented on feeling they had been treated worse than the people who com- mitted the crime. And so, in re- cent years, communities have been putting in place programs to assist victims.

{n North Vancouver, you can call the victim assistance program coordinator at the RCMP office at 985-1311; local 491. He or she can provide you with information and support or refer you to other sources of help.

Information Services Vancouver also operates what is known as the Victims Information Line at i- 800-842-8467.

In the meantime, remember that your experience has been frighten- ing and disruptive, and that your

‘anxious feelings will pass in time.

Because, children have difficulty expressing feelings in words, the nightmares are not that unusual.

You might also sce changes in their behavior. Some parents notice their kids going back to

earlier childhood behaviors after a traumatic experience like this.

Do not hesitate to see your doc- tor for help, especially if the symptoms go on for a long time.

Try to give your children a lot of reassurance that their home will once again be a safe place. .

Taking practical steps to make your home more secure can also help you and your children deal with the feelings. Things such as adding extra outdoor lighting and getting deadbolt locks can be a big help.

Consider becoming involved in a Block Watch program, where neighbors agree to report suspicious activities to the police. Information about neighborhood crime watch and burglar-proofing your home is available from the police department.

If the police do find the person who they think is responsible for the crime, you may have to go to court as a witness. This can be another frightening experience and ene which you may need help in facing. Remember, yeu can use the victim assistance numbers to find people who can provide you with practical advice and emo- tional support.

provides minimal coverage.

However, some women feel they need a bit more, especially those who are prone to blotchiness or breakouts. Choose the sheerest, lightest foundation you can get away with.

How do I achieve a smooth, even application?

Even, well-blended foundation is the key. To apply your base, dot makeup on forehead, cheeks and chin. Smooth it all over the face with your fingers or use a moistened latex sponge to minimize streaking.
