Hair care
The Fried Blonde to Rich Brown Hair Color MakeoverOne busy working mom turns back the clock on her dry, damaged hair |
The makeup "Some people think that with deep-set eyes, you can't do a smoky eye," says Uslan. "That's not the case." Instead, she says, swap deep charcoals for a lighter hue -- such as silvery grays -- and the look can really work.
Uslan started by applying Kevyn Aucoin Beauty Liquid Airbrush Foundation, $45 to Beth's face, using a foundation brush, then applied Paul & Joe Beaute Stick Concealer, $24.80 under her eyes to even out the coloring. To set the concealer, she took a shadow brush dipped in just a trace of translucent powder, and dusted it from the outer corners of her eyes inward, toward the nose -- a trick that keeps the powder from drawing attention to fine lines. Next she brushed Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Cream Eye Shadow in Galaxy, $22 along Beth's upper lash line with a smudge brush, followed by a mid-brown shadow for smokiness blended at the outer corners. A touch of highlight just under the brow bones all added up to a subtle smoky eye look for deep-set eyes.
Finally, red lipstick (try Lipstick Queen Wine Sinner Matte Lipstick, $18) was applied to highlight Beth's smile. "Usually you choose just one -- the eye or the lip -- to play up," says Uslan. "But when you do a light smoky eye like this, doing both works."
