    Coral goes REALLY well with tanned skin and soft eyes. Load up the lashes with mascara, put a slick of liner on the top lid with no shadow and head out that door. Coral makes your skin glow and keeps you looking healthy. Beautiful.

    Gee I must have been tired when I wrote my last post, the rule is actually “”If the eyes are loud, tell the lips to shut up”” it makes more sense. Just means never go strong on the eyes and lps together, just choose one…good rule unless you want the transvestite look (not that there is anything wrong with that!)

    Orange is really “”in”” for the spring/summer makeup season. All the hollywood girls are wearing it now so be adventurous! Looks great with a light tan so a bit of bronzer swept across the cheeks and nose is great to set it off. The general rule with makeup is “”If the lips are loud, then tell the eyes to shut up”” and since orange is a strong colour I would underplay the eyes, maybe just some eyeliner and mascara. If you are feeling brave then go retro and use light blue eyeshadow (just above the lashes and only up to the eye crease) false eyelashes and orange lippie.
