A Woman's Touch

By Jean Wendy Farrell

Beauty is a very transitory thing. A lot depends on your frame of mind, a positive outlook....and makeup...

The right makeup application can do a lot to bring out the more attractive feminine features that you possess. Stand in front of the mirror and take a real hard critical look at yourself. Think about the times women have said to you, oh you have lovely eyes. Or, you have such long lashes! Those are the things you need to look for and to bring out.

If it is the eyes, then that is the area I would suggest you concentrate your best efforts on bringing forward. If it is those soft, delicate, large lips then work on lining them and using a lipstick to make them outstanding. The thing is to divert the eye from the areas that aren't as feminine. And this is one of the best ways to do that.

Conversely, if you have certain feature that are a bit too "masculine", work with de-emphasizing them. Take for instance that too frustrating, square jaw that always seems to get in the way of achieving the ultimate in femininity. What you want to do is get a wig that goes below the jaw line, preferably one that has a layered effect. Brush the hair to the front and look at the difference it makes in the total image.

There are many more ways in which you can camouflage the masculine and bring out the feminine. If you have any problem areas, feel free to e-mail me at womanstouc@aol.com and I'll be happy to answer them.

In fact, girls, if there are areas I haven't touched on yet, please let me know and I will bring them up in future articles. Feedback is good. It makes me know that I've accomplished something, so until next time, I look forward to hearing from the girls out there!
