When it's cold outside men's skin can really suffer and it takes some tender loving care to get it back in shape. Moisturizers are a must and getting into the daily habit will keep your skin looking young, soft, hydrated and wrinkle-free for years to come. Keep a moisturizer next to your toothpaste to remind yourself it should be applied every day and night just like the ritual of brushing your teeth.

There is nothing Metro-Sexual about wanting to look your best, simply caring about your appearance will help you look and feel more confident. For men that have really dry skin I recommend a moisturizing cream like Nickel Ultra Soothing Cream Emulsion. The slightly richer formula will combat really parched skin. Men that have really oily skin and may be prone to breakouts fair best with oil-free lotions like Anthony Logistics For Men Oil-Free Facial Lotion. Apply lightly after you jump out of the shower for a grease-free soft look. For the sensitive skinned guy go for Nivea For Men Sensitive Extra Soothing moisturizer. Your skin will thank you. A lot of men now more than ever are worried about ageing before their time. In this case choose L'Oreal Men's Expert Vita Lift Anti-Wrinkle and Firming Moisturizer. The ingredients inside will get rid of fine lines and keep skin taut and toned.

Some men may want a little help evening out their complexions a bit. There are plenty of tinted moisturizers on the market that will give you undetectable coverage so know one will know but you. Go for King Of Shaves For Men XCD Improver SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer. This way you have sunscreen, moisturizer and the tint you desire all in one easy application. Flawless supple skin is attractive whether you are male or female so get out that moisturizer and soften up.

There is nothing worse then a man who has plucked his eyebrows too much! Can men tweeze their eyebrows into shape without looking like their too groomed for their own good? They can if they learn how to take it easy. The key to taming an unruly brow is the right tools and the right steps. First off is to look into the mirror and notice if you even have two brows to contend with. If there is only one you need some help.

Tweeze the hairs that grow in the center of the top of the bridge of your nose. There should be about ½ an inch space between them both. Make sure you are using a good pair of tweezers that will really grip the hairs. Try La Cross's new Diamond Tip Lighted Tweezers with an LED light attached to it. Guys love gadgets and these tweezers are the ultimate gadget grooming tool. Now take an old toothbrush and brush your brows straight up. Chances are there will be a few crazy long ones that will need to be snipped. Grab a pair of manicure scissors like Tatania Cuticle Scissors and snip away.

Now check yourself out. Chances are that's all you will need but if your still feeling a bit Neanderthal pluck a few more stray hairs under the brow line. Don't go crazy and whatever you do don't arch your brows like a woman. Not a good look. Now your plucked to perfection and still maintaining your masculinity. Trust me your partner will appreciate it.

As the harsh cold hits, women are not the only ones dealing with dry winter skin. Men can find themselves with chapped lips, extra parched complexions and flaky faces if they are not careful. Luckily there are a few important things men can do that will combat these issues so guys can stay smooth and hydrated.

The first thing men should do is to use a facial scrub in the shower a few times a week. Scrubbing about a dime-sized amount onto wet skin not only gets rid of dry flaky patches but also helps stop ingrown hairs from forming after you shave. Try Neutrogena Men Razor Defense Facial Scrub. After the shower a daily moisturizer will put back the oils your skin needs now and keep you looking on top of your game. I like Jack Black Double Duty Face Moisturizer. This is a great 2-in-1 product with moisture and sunscreen. Just because it's winter does not mean the sun's safe. You can risk burning just as easy as in the hotter months.

For oily skinned guys choose oil-free formulas. Try Sharp's Barber and Shop Daily Prep Oil Free Lotion. Lips suffer the most during these cold months so keep a lip balm handy at all times. Keep one in your pocket and one on your bedside table so you can apply it right before bedtime. Waxy style balms like Chapstick Classic Lip Balm acts like a barrier and will protect your lips from wind and cold so this type is perfect if your lips are already healthy. If your lips are chapped go for a richer moisturizing balm that will penetrate the lips with rich ingredients to help heal and protect at the same time. Try Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm with Vitamin E and Comfrey. With these easy steps and men will look smooth and supple all winter long.

Getting holiday-ready glowing skin can be easy with the right care and the right steps in your makeup routine. Any festive holiday look can appear dull on skin that's not prepped and primed before hand. Winter months can leave even the most oily skin feeling parched so step up your moisturizer and give yourself a good facial scrub a few times a week. This is the perfect time to splurge on a decadent moisturizer like Crème De La Mer. The right steps are everything when creating amazing looking skin.

The first step is to apply moisturizer every morning as soon as you get out of the shower. The second step is to smooth on primer. Primer evens out your skins texture allowing foundation to glide on seamlessly and stay looking fresh and fabulous all day. Try SmashBox Photo Finish Light Foundation Primer. The third step is to apply the perfect foundation and blend it into the skin so it mimics your skins natural texture. I love makeup Forever Face and Body Foundation.

The fourth step is to dab on cream highlighter on top of the cheekbones and on the temples for that amazing dewy look. My favorite is Fresh Satin Luster Palette. The fifth step is to swirl on a cream blush in a natural flush color that gives the skin a look like a child at play in the snow. Using creams in cold dry climates will help skin look moist and radiant. Try Revlon Cream Blush. Last is to dust on a light layer of translucent powder to set everything like N.Y.C. Smooth Skin Loose Face Powder. Now with perfectly glowing skin your ready to apply your favorite holiday eye or lip look. Have fun!

For fun Holiday parties play up your pucker with the seasons hottest shades for lips. Experiment with berries, wines, reds and deep plums on your perfect pout to turn up the volume. This is by far the easiest and quickest way to take your look to the next level. Start off by keeping the rest of your makeup pretty, glowing and simple so your smile is the star of the show.

If you have fair skin sweep on a shiny berry shade that captures light and make your teeth look whiter. Try Sally Hansen Smile Brightening Lip Treatment in "Luminous" for a fantastic sexy smile that conditions while it colors.

If you have a medium complexion be daring and go bold with a berry red lipstick that gets the attention you deserve. Try a sheer shade like Avon Ultra Color Rich Lipstick in "Sheer Sangria" or go with a full on lip color in an intense berry red color like Guerlain Kiss Kiss Lipstick in "Exces De Rouge 523" to set the mood.

Olive skinned beauties can go for a jeweled tone hue and enhance those lips with shades of garnet that compliment their skin tone. Try N.Y.C. Ultra Last Lip Wear in "Garnet". If this deeper color is too intense for some of you, try a stain to accentuate the lips without the over the top feeling and use Revlon Just Bitten Lip Stain in "Plum Wicked".

Mocha skin radiates with shimmering golden wine colors that look like you are sitting next to a fire sipping a fine merlot. Try Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in "Guilt Free", the ultimate in decadence.

For dark skin I love the deep plums that almost look black in the tube. Trust me they will look fierce on your lips when paired with a sweep of gold on the eyes. I love Givenchy Rouge Interdit Satin Lipstick in "Black Plum". To keep these deeper shades in place I recommend a clear or natural nude color lip liner like to stop any bleeding and forgo lip gloss that can look too goopy. Trust me the deep shade is all you need to make your holiday statement and keep you looking chic and cutting edge.

'Tis the season for holiday parties so now is the time to turn up the heat and look smoldering. The best accessory you posses are your eyes so play up them up with fantastic shades. Makeup is a quick and inexpensive way to update your look in minutes and have fun during these festive times. I believe in using opposite eye colors to enhance your eye color regardless of their shape.

If your eyes are blue play up the color with sparkling chocolate and burgundy eye shadows. For a fast and foolproof smoky eye start off by sweeping on a pale pink highlight shimmer under the brow and on the inside corners of the eyes. Sweep on a sparkling chocolate eye shadow like Mac Pigment in "Chocolate Brown" from the lash line to just above the crease and lightly sweep the same shadow using an angle brush under the lower lash line. Finish it off with black mascara on top and bottom and your blue eyes will look electric.

Green eyed gals should play with purples and eggplant colors. For a modern look, sweep on an eggplant liquid liner like Almay Intense I-Color Liquid Liner in "Purple Amethyst" across the upper lash line winging it out a bit at the ends and use a soft shimmering nude across the entire lid from the liner to under the brow bone. Lightly sweep a purple shadow under the lash line to balance the eye and use black mascara on the top lashes only. Your eyes will look like 2 emeralds.

Brown eyes look incredible when you smudge a sapphire blue eyeliner pencil like N.Y.C. Waterproof Eyeliner Pencil in "Moody Blue" along the upper and lower lash line and on the inside rims. Apply a vanilla highlight shimmer across the whole lid and sweep a taupe eye shadow across the crease. Mascara on top and bottom will give you a sexy rock 'n' roll look. Nothing showcases hazel eyes better then forest green. Choose a sparkling shade for holiday shimmer like DuWop Smoke Eye Shadow Duo in "Olive Branch" and sweep it across the lid from the lash line to the crease. Line the upper lash line with a black pencil and smudge a soft brown shadow in the crease and under the lower lash line. Finish with a sweep of pale gold highlight shimmer under the brow and black mascara. Your hazel eyes will look golden.

With so many people prepping for Thanksgiving then Christmas/Hannukkah/Kwanzaa travel, you will need a complete beauty travel guide from the tricks and tips to the products you can use to protect your skin from the drying effects of air travel.

The first thing to know is what you are allowed to carry on the plane so your not harassed by TSA, or worse, have them throw your precious cargo into the trash bin. Always keep liquids and gels to 3 ounces or less. That does not mean the 4-ounce tube of your favorite tinted moisturizer rolled down to a 3-ounce size. Store these goodies in a clear Ziploc 1-quart size baggie. Not your fancy clear designer toiletries case but a regular old Ziploc. It's not glamorous but you will make it on the plane with your necessities.

I like to begin my travels with a bare face that has been prepped first with a good moisturizer. We will get into makeup later. Once you are on the plane stay away from alcohol, which can dehydrate your skin and the plane air will try and do that already so you don't want to help it along. Drink lots of water and stay away from salty foods like nuts and chips. Once you are comfortably in the air apply a great lip balm like Burt's Bees Honey Lip Balm for a sweet smile that won't look parched. Tap on a little eye cream or a rich moisturizer around the delicate eye area like Keihl's Antioxidant Skin Preserver. I use the little samples when I can to keep my beauty products small so I can fit more in that baggie.

A few spritzes of Evian's Spray Brumisateur Mineral Water on the face a few times during the flight will replenish lost moisture. I recommend doing this in the bathroom so you don't wind up showering the traveler sitting next to you. Apply another dose of light moisturizer to the face right after to seal in the moisture. Try SheerinO'kho First Class Flight Moisturizer. This was made to protect skin from long dried out flights. If your skin is really dry and looks flaky before you land, ask the flight attendants for a small packet of sugar, like for your coffee, and go into the bathroom for a quick facial scrub. Simply wet your face with some water and use the sugar to scrub in little circular motions to rid yourself of the rough texture. Re-apply your moisturizer and return to your seat glowing and dewy.

About 10 minutes before you land follow these 7 easy makeup steps. P.S. a window seat has the best lighting. First apply liquid foundation followed by a creamy blush on the apples of your cheeks and cream highlighter under your brows and on the inside corners of your eyes. Next dust on a light translucent powder and line the upper lash line with a pencil. Sweep on mascara and dab on your favorite lipstick and your ready to meet and greet the family!

It's Halloween time and now is your chance to play with some amazing makeup looks you may have always been a bit afraid to try. Be brave and go bold for this night you have nothing to lose. Channel your inner Bridgett Bordot, Marilyn Monroe or even go back further and try Marie Antoinette. These women all had distinctive looks and the trends they inspire are seen even today. Bridget Bardot gave us the pale lip and the black liquid liner seen all over the spring and fall runways, Marilyn taught us that red lips are sexy no matter what the season and Marie Antoinette showed us that a simple pink powdered cheek can look soft but confident at the same time. Here is how to recreate these looks for Halloween.

First is Bridgette. Start off by applying foundation and powder to give the complexion a flawless look. Next apply a pair of false eyelashes from the drugstore with waterproof invisible glue. Try the Andrea lashes in "#101". Next line the upper lash line with black liquid liner in a thick line and sweep it out at the ends in a wing. I like Mac LiquidLast liquid liner in "Black" for its long wearing look. Now swirl on just a hint of neutral blush and follow with a pale nude opaque lipstick. Try Body and Soul Lipstick in "Malibu".

Marilyn also begins with foundation and powder to create a perfect canvas. Next, sketch on a bit of eyebrow pencil to define the brows. Now, sweep a vanilla eye shadow across the entire lid from the lash line to under the brow. Follow with a taupe shadow in the crease only. Use the CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in "Tapestry Taupe". Apply a few individual lashes at the outer corners of the eyes and line the upper lash line with a thin line of black liquid liner. Swirl on a peach blush along the cheekbones and paint on a perfect strong red lip. A good one that will last all night is NYC Cosmetics Ultra Last Lip Wear in "Red Flame". Don't forget to take a black eyeliner pencil and apply your own fake beauty mark. Use the fine tipped Tarte emphasEYES in "Black".

For Marie, you want to apply a foundation a few shades lighter than your natural skin tone and a loose powder in white. A good one is Makeup Forever Super Matte Loose Powder in "White". Skip all makeup on the eyes and focus on sweeping on a pretty pink powder blush. Apply the blush with a big powder brush and in large circular motions cover the whole cheek area extending it outward a bit. Use Lancôme's Blush Subtil in "Rose Fresque". Follow with a dab of matching pink lipstick softly applied with your fingertip. Go crazy and have fun and who knows you may be brave enough to try a few of these looks during the work week.

With so many beauty products incorporating natural ingredients like pomegranate, olive oil, and sugar, will we have the same effects if we just eat foods rich in these ingredients? Well not in the case of sugar but if we eat foods rich in things like anti-oxidants and also use products that contain them we are doubling up and bettering our chances of looking and feeling good.

Every company out there is searching for the best topical food derived ingredient to nourish the skin. I have seen claims from beauty companies touting their products have the most beneficial qualities because they use things like mushrooms, tomatoes, avocados, carrots and even peas to give you better looking skin. They all seam to have research to back these claims up. I feel like you have nothing to loose and a great complexion to gain, unless of course you are allergic to one of these foods. It is best to try a patch test before applying all over your skin to make sure you do not have a reaction.

A lot of these natural ingredients are meant to act with your natural collagen building abilities and speed things up like cell turnover for skin that will look and stay younger. Collective Wellbeing Whirled Peas Hydrating Face Mask contains vitamin A and C and magnesium that is a vital mineral for collagen synthesis. For lips try Burt's Bees Lip Balm with Pomegranate Oil that is rich in anti-oxidant goodness to keep lips soft and supple. Kiehl's Lycopene Facial Moisturizer uses lycopene, which is derived from the tomato and is found to be enhanced with vitamin E and beta-carotene for maximum nutrients for the skin. Even makeup has natural ingredients now such as Neutrogena Mineral Sheers that contain soybean flour for a smoother complexion or Origins Rain or Shine Lipstick with grape seed oil for maximum hydration.

Whether you eat it or apply it natural ingredients are a good thing but read up on the benefits of the claim before you buy or ask your dermatologist. This way you can avoid what may be just hype.

Makeup this fall is sophisticated and glamorous but it may get a bit confusing on which hues are best suited for you. I will help you break down the best colors for the best skin tones to help you choose the perfect shades for fall.

The hot colors for eyes this season are khaki golds and greens, smoky shades of gray and plumy purples, mahoganies, rich browns, sapphire blues and black. If you are fair go for khaki greens and keep it swept across the lid only, sparkling cool browns are great for lining the eyes and for a smoky eye, choose granite grays with a shimmer. Try Pout Eyeshadow Duo in "Miss Scotland", Mac Teddy Eyeliner Pencil and Cover Girl Eye Enhancers in "Platina". Medium skin tones fair best with khaki golds, rich warm browns, quartz plums and deep smoky grays. Try La Femme Sparkle Dust in "33 Antique Gold", Lancome Colour Design Eyeshadow in "Couture and Click" and Revlon Molten Metal in "Scene Stealer". Dark skin will look perfect wearing shades of mahogany and deep purple on the lid, sapphire blues and blacks lined around the eyes. Try Bobbi Brown Eyeshadow in "Mahogany", Loreal High Intensity Pigments in "Charisma" and Almay Intense I-Color in "Black Pearl".

Cheeks are very soft this season, so don't venture too far away from soft plums and roses. They are quite universal and balance the more bold cheek or lip. Fair skin should stick with a soft cool plum or rose like Benefit's Sheer Cream Blusher in "Shhh!!!" and go warmer for medium skin tones by trying Revlon Golden Affair Sculpting Blush in "Rose Rapture" and stick with deeper tones for dark skin like Bobbi Brown Blush in "Velvet Plum".



Lips are either nude, wine or red this season and balance is key. If you are wearing a smoky eye go for a nude lip. For a bold red lipstick use a simple wash of shadow or a slick of liner and for wine colored lips, which are all the rage, a soft brown shadow can really look elegant. Nude lipsticks should have a hint of peach for fair skin, warm pink for medium skin and mocha for dark skin so the face does not look washed out. For wine lips stick with cool berry tones for fair skin, sparkling burgundies for medium skin tones and for dark skin tones think of raisins or merlot. Red lipsticks should stay in the cherry family for fair skin, classic true red for medium skin tones and blood reds for dark skin tones.

As women mature we find that our skins texture can change and new unwanted guests start popping up like crow's feet and sunspots. The right products can help but overall you must embrace age. Age means life and experience and you have earned those laugh lines! Celebrate it and don't hate it -- we are all going down the same road together, united, one. Here are some quick and easy makeup and skin care tips to help the journey be a smooth one. Crow's feet and wrinkles happen to all of us as we grow older but remember that you can slow the progress of wrinkles by using sunscreen and moisturizer daily. Try Olay Regenerist Daily Anti Aging Moisturizer Cream.

Maintain Moisture

Moisture gets lost at this age so it's a good idea to put it back for supple skin. I also suggest an eye cream at night with antioxidants for a rejuvenating kick. Glycolic peels from your dermatologist will minimize the appearance of wrinkles and there are plenty of products on the market that you can use if you don't want to make the expensive appointment. Try GlyDerm Lotion Lite.

Drinking tons of water, taking fish oil pills and getting plenty of rest are other ways to keep skin looking younger. I have discovered an amazing skin pill called Imedeen Tablets that adds lost moisture to the skin. I saw a huge difference in my skin's suppleness after only one month.

When it comes to makeup I find that a lot of older women complain about disappearing or fading makeup. This is easily remedied by choosing waterproof eyeliners like Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner pencils. Stick with powder eye shadows because creams will crease. Mascaras like Blinc Kiss Me Mascara will stay put all day and night with its new tube formula perfect for the lady who suffers from raccoon eyes at the end of the day. This mascara won't budge. Cream blush like Lancome Magique Blush is perfect for older skin. It will bring back moisture to the cheeks and give a soft radiant youthful looking flush.

Get Glowing

You may find at an older age that your glow has gone. Don't fret ... just bring it back with a little makeup magic. After applying foundation add a little bit of shimmering highlighter under the eyebrows and on the inside corners of the eyes. This will make the eyes really sparkle. Under the eyebrows, the inner corners of the eyes and the lips are the only places you should use shimmer now as you get older.

For the rest of your makeup stick with matte formulas. Using a radiant primer under foundation will give you a glowing complexion as well. Primer will level out your complexion and foundation will glide on easily over it. Try Vita-K Silky Smooth Facial Primer.

Age Spots

For age spots use a little concealer to hide them away. Take a small-tipped concealer brush and dab it on the spot after you apply foundation. Finish off with powder and it will stay hidden all day.

This fall, it's all about a new modern glamor. Each new trend is sexy and sophisticated and universal to all women. The key to pulling off these looks this season is confidence. The five hottest trends now are liquid eyeliner, red or wine shades of lipstick, the new gray eye shadow hue, and strong brows. Liquid liner has made a real comeback and was all over the runways. It's easier than you think to pull off and when you do it's the ultimate alluring look.

Black makes the boldest statement, but for the faint of heart go for eggplants, forest greens or bronzes. If you have a shaky hand and can just never draw on that fluid perfect line, no worries, simply apply the liquid in short connecting dashes. Keep a small tipped concealer brush dipped into a little foundation to clean up any mistakes. I like the short wand from Mac LiquidLast Liner because it it easier to control.

If it's the eyes you want to focus one go for the new hue of grey eye shadow. It's a sparkling brown grey that resembles warm granite. This can be swept across the lid from the lash line to the crease and under the lower lashes for a smoldering smoky eye effect. My favorite is Shu Uemura Eye Shadow in "ME Brown 850". Go for a more nude lip with this look so you don't look too made up. Brows should be full and healthy (think Brooke Shields or Ally McGraw). If yours are a bit thin or simply won't grow back fill them in with a bit of brow pencil to mimic the trend. Use the double ended Lorac Creamy Brow Pencil with color on one side and a great brow brush on the other.

Another sexy trend is red and wine shades of lipsticks and the colors can look beautiful on any lip shape. For smaller lips simply choose sheer colors with a hint of shimmer. The shimmer will capture the light giving the illusion of fuller lips and the sheerness of the color will give you a hint of the trend without going full-force. Try Benefit Silky Finish Lipstick in "Guilt-Free". For those of you who want to paint on a bold opaque shade stick with creamy formulas, line the lips with a nude or clear lip pencil to keep lipstick from feathering. Try Guerlain Cupidon Lip Liner.

As summer's lazier schedule gives way to fall's more hectic pace you will want to know some quick beauty tips on how to look pulled together in no time. The first thing to consider is your skin. Summer sun can do a real number on your complexion so get it back in shape fast with a good scrub. Exfoliating your face and body will eliminate the dry and weathered look and give you a fresh glow for fall. Try products that contain added goodies like extra oxygen or antioxidants to get a jump-start on healthy skin. On the face polish it up with Clean and Clear Oxygenating Facial Scrub. For the body go for the refreshing Bliss Lemon and Sage Body Scrub.

My 5 Minute Face approach (as seen in my book of the same name) is the quickest way to enhance your natural beauty in the morning leaving more time for multi-tasking. Foundation or tinted moisturizers that serve many purposes is the way to go to conceal any imperfections. Choose ones that contain sunscreens, light reflecting particles, antioxidants or moisturizers to get more benefits in less time. This way you are cutting out time consuming extra steps in your beauty routine. Try Revlon Age Defying Light Makeup.

A fast trick for broken capillaries, pimples or tiny veins is to use a Q-Tip dipped in a little concealer and dab on the areas for instant camouflage without a lot of blending. Cream blush goes on with lightening speed when you choose a natural sheer formula. Simply swirl on the apples of your cheeks with your fingertips and blend. Benefit Rush Hour is the perfect cheek and lip color in one for natural color in an instant.

To keep your makeup in place during a long crazy day lightly dust the face with a sheer translucent powder like Cornsilk Classic Translucent Powder. Keeping your eyebrows groomed will guarantee a perfect frame for the eyes so you can get away with wearing less eye shadow. A highlight under the brow and on the inside corner of the eyes, a slick of pencil liner on the top lash line only and a sweep of black mascara will give you just the hint of definition your eyes need in a flash. For a long-wearing easy blending eyeliner try Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner Pencil. Throw on a swipe of lip color and in 5 minutes flat you are beautifully good to go.

As August winds down you may be in denial that fall is approaching and want to hold on to the healthy glow of summer. Just because it's cooling off doesn't mean you have to look like it. Keep your sun-kissed look alive by adding in a few tricks to your makeup routine. At this time you may want to put away the deep self-tanners and heavier bronzers and add a lighter sunnier look. You will look out-of place with a savage tan in September so subtly is key. On the body switch to a lighter gradual building self-tanner that will look a lot softer. Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer is a perfect choice. You will maintain a healthy looking color that will feel right at this stage of the season. For the face add a bit of warmth by first applying foundation then try a cream bronzer instead of powder to the cheekbones and temples. Creams can be blended down to look very natural. Try Jouer Sunkissed Cream Bronzer and apply it with your fingers or a non-latex sponge.

On your eyes sweep on a sunset gold colored eye shadow across the entire lid to keep that perfect summer night look well into the new season. I like Lancome Loose Powder Eye Shadow in "Golden Sunrise". This will look milder and less gilded then using bronze or copper eye shadows. To transition lips into fall but still keep that beachy feel put away the bright fruity summer shades and try sheer light bronze lip glosses and lipsticks. Maybelline Shine Seduction Liquid Lipcolor in "Sunkissed" is the perfect light bronzy neutral shade. On the body for that "summer forever" look, apply a tinted moisturizer with a bit of sparkle. This will not only prolong the look of a sun-tanned body but will make your skin glow and show off definition in your arms and legs. Nars Body Glow is the perfect tinted body shimmer oil and the Tahitian smell will keep summer alive.

As those of you who watch "What Not to Wear" and/or read my Beauty Bar blog know, I often focus on the eyes when I'm doing someone's makeup, or offering advice. When I helped make over mom of 10 MaryLou Russ, I was most excited about "waking up" her magnetic blue eyes. That's why these particular questions stood out to me:

Janet asked: "Can ANYONE please tell me the best product or procedure to remove dark circles under your eyes? Mine are very severe!! I consulted with a dermatologist and had NO LUCK. He basically said, I'm stuck with them."

Unfortunately, Janet, your doctor is right. Extremely dark circles are hereditary. The only thing you can do is embrace them, love them -- and know they give you a sexy mysterious stare. If you want to hide them, choose a thick concealer in a shade that is about one shade lighter then your skin tone like Kryolan Dermacolor and tap it on lightly with your ring finger. Play up another feature to draw attention away form the circles like using a fun new shade of lipstick.

Marie's question was: "I'm entering the years of menopause and have noticed my eyebrow hairs have become thicker, longer and less flexible. If I trim them, they nearly stick straight out! I've always had fine thin hair and have no idea how to approach this. I tweeze some, but that doesn't rid my brows of the coarseness of my brow hairs. Is this hormonal in nature? Common during mid-40s? Any solutions?"
