Beauty tips are a dime a dozen and, I don't know about you, but I don't know what to believe. Are department store brands better than drug stores? What is the best cover up? Do I really have to pay $15 for a thing of eye shadow? What is the best face wash, moisturizer, or night cream? You can't trust anyone- or can you? I have found a resource. Well, really my co-worker, Linda, found it and was nice enough to share it with me. "Don't Go To the Cosmetics Counter Without Me" is a must have for reference. Paula Begoun has done the research for us!
Ever wonder what the best face wash is for your sensitive skin? Wondering what make up is really good at the drugstore or worth paying $50 for a night cream? Here are your answers. She reviews all the major brands of cosmetics and takes all the guess work out of it.
My advice, buy the book, review all the products you currently use, look up what you should be using, save money and time, and look fabulous! My other advice, avoid the trends! Don't buy neon yellow eyeshadow and purple lipstick just because Chanel debuted it on the runways last week or Taylor Swift rocked it in her music video. Buy the colors you find look good on you and stick with them. Makeup is the one area where creativity does not make you a stand out but rather and crazy person.
To find what looks best on you: visit a department store, ask to try on some colors, and take a seat. These people are trained to find the best colors for your skin and the best application. Use this training to your advantage. Bonus- this service is free at most counters and you don't have to buy anything! Write down the tips and colors and go shopping according to your new list, whether it's at the counter you are getting the lesson at or not.
You look your best everyday- as a famous quote that I can't seem to be able to reference says, "Always look you best, you never know when fate will find you." (Or something like that..)
Did you have a lot of items not recommended in your cosmetics drawer? I did... What did you change? Hope you saved some money!
