Has something changed while I wasn't looking? My makeup seems very pale to me. What's going on?
It's nice that you noticed. The makeup colors for this Spring are much more vibrant. This is a problem for me, as my Mother looks like Tilda Swinton, and my coloring is becoming more like hers. Luckily, solving this just takes new make-up!
Be sure that your brows are dark enough. They should be just one shade lighter than your lashes. (Black lashes mean dark brown brows.) You can use terrific eyebrow mascara to add color to your (Perfectly Groomed! The Arch in the Right Place!) brows. Use a brow "corrector" (a pencil, or powder) to be sure that your brows are long enough at the sides. If you use a pencil, a thousand tiny strokes is better than one heavy one. Don't short change your brows.
Lipstick colors are deeper, too; and remember to pat some airbrush spray foundation around your lips, with a sponge, to avoid the bleeding of the denser color. If you like, place a dab of lighter color lipstick (we have some left over from last season, right?) in the center of your lower lip. This creates the illusion of light being reflected off of full, moist lips.

Pres, with more color on the lips, does that mean that the smokey eye is out? And, is there a recommended brand of eyebrow mascara? That's one I've never heard of! As always, thanks for the great advice!!! Debbi
It's hard to balance bright lips with smoky eyes, so I would tone down the eyeshadow a bit; eyeliner and mascara are still vivid.
(Try Bobbi Brown Eyebrow Mascara.)
What a neat idea - eye brow mascara. Never heard of it, either. Thanks!
The eyebrow mascara is also great for covering gray. It gives the hairs a little added thickness, which makes the brow look more prominent&fuller.
I (dark blonde) wear Sable. Lighter blondes may want to try Blonde.
The product is actually called "Natural Brow Shaper" by Bobbi Brown.
