WOMEN'S BIGGEST MAKE UP SUCCESSES AND FAILURES

As seen by Rex

Over the years, Rex has advised thousands of women, from supermodels to supermoms, on how to apply make up.  In other words, he's seen all the mistakes and successes possible.  In honor of the introduction of his new e Makeover service, where women send Rex their photos and he gives them a makeover by drawing on the correct hair, make up and fashions and giving them detailed do-it-yourself instructions, Rex has compiled this list of the most common make up successes and failures women make:

 

The most common make up mistakes are:

  1.  Hiding behind your make up:  Make up is not a mask.  It is meant to enhance your beauty, not overwhelm it.

 2.  Camouflaging your uniqueness:   Unique features should not always be considered imperfections.  Instead of "correcting" distinctive characteristics through shading, make them part of your beauty.

  3.  Don't think you can make up only one part of your face. If you're going to do your eyes, you have to do the rest.  Otherwise, you will be placing too much emphasis on a single part of your face.

 4.  Blend Everything:   Never just apply make up and leave it there.  Always blend, blot or brush everything.

 5.  Don't be a One-Color Woman:  Avoid being typecast by your colors.  Learn how to work within different harmony-of-color schemes.

 6.  Keep it Subtle:  Guard against overdoing make up.  Extremes of color and application can take over your face.  Less is always more.

 7.  Wear the Right Face at the Right Time:  Plan an appropriate make up for every activity.  One wear-with-everything face really goes with nothing.
