How to Apply Eyeliner

Are you supposed to apply eyeliner from the outside corner of the eye in, or vice versa? And does lining the inside of the eye make one appear beady like a varmint (yes, if you are me, no if you are Angelina Jolie)?

Should You Tweeze Above the Brows?

Wednesday September 3, 2008
It's a myth that you should never tweeze above the brows. Unless you want stragglers running amok above the brow, while below the brow there's hardly a baby fine hair left in place (if you wax or thread), you should most definitely tweeze above the brow.

Let's Play "Make Over the Candidate"

Friday August 29, 2008
No matter your political preference, if there's one thing we may all agree on it's that McCain's pick for Vice President is gorgeous. Palin's a natural beauty with chiseled cheekbones, chocolate eyes and full lips. But a stylist has got to get their hands on her hair, which in my opinion makes her look at least 10 years older than she is (44).

I look forward to seeing her almost certain transformation over the next few weeks. Will she get the typical politico helmet head, modeled these days by Michelle Obama? Will she go soft and layered and oh-so-feminine like Cindy McCain? Or will she be daring and get a sleek bob cut like this one modeled by Christina Ricci? I vote for the latter.

How to Get Wrinkles Out Without an Iron

Tuesday August 26, 2008
My cousin Cat, who taught me last summer a great beauty tip involving sand and babies which I'll share next, taught me how to get wrinkles out without an iron. This works great on cotton clothes. First you run warm water over your hands, then you basically "iron out" the wrinkles with your hands. You do this by running your hands down the wrinkles in your dress, pants legs, whatever. You end up pretty wet, but clothes tend to quickly in the heat.

Cat's beach tip is simple: Get the sand off babies, kids or yourself with talcum powder. It works wonders, especially when changing diapers.
