The Best Advice On ... Applying Makeup The Right Way
11. Lighten up. Avoid heavy foundations and powders, which can settle inside pores and make them seem larger. (March 2000)
2006 UPDATE New makeup technology -- from tinted moisturizers and pore-minimizing foundations to radiance-boosting tints and super-natural mineral makeup -- make getting a healthy, natural glow easier than ever.

12. Wake up your eyes. A concealer or eye cream with light-reflective pigments (look for ingredients like "mica" on labels) will brighten eyes instantly. (February 2003)

13. Become a pro at applying eyeliner. To make eyes appear larger, use a darker shade near the top lashes and a lighter shade (in the same color family) on the lower lash line. Don't line eyes all the way around with the same color. (January 2001)

14. Get kissably soft lips. Exfoliate lips with a toothbrush every morning, or use a lip-exfoliating product. An added benefit: Lipstick will go on smoother. (April 2003) 15. Plump up your pout. Use a lip pencil that's slightly darker than your lipstick to line just outside your lips. Next, apply lipstick, then dab a spot of foundation onto the center of lips. Top off with gloss. (March 2002)
2006 UPDATE New lipsticks and glosses offer color plus plumping agents like cinnamon, ginger and cayenne pepper, which work by temporarily boosting blood flow to the lips, triggering a swelling effect.
