Dual Finish Lasts

Puff and Plum for Lasting Looks

By Michelle Stanton


Some of TGF's prettiest readers have agreed to share with us their favorite style and beauty tips. Michelle Stanton lives in Southern California and has a Personal Ad. Say hi to this wonderfully nice person!
One of my favorite techniques involves a product. The product is the make-up itself. Several companies, including Lancome and Este Lauder, now sell make-up that works in two ways. The product comes with a sponge and with a puff. You dampen the sponge to first apply a coat of base make-up. Then you use the puff to apply a dry coat. In this way there is a "double-action" (Lancome calls their's "dual finish") which last quite long and can be easily "touched up" later with the puff applicator.

The second technique which I consider a "must" is the use of a plum-colored lipliner. Whether you use pink, coral, red or even most brown shades of lipstick, this color lipliner makes the lips look larger and more luscious. By the way, this is an old trick of theater that showgirls use so well.
