Flirty peepers can seem harder to achieve if you've got close-lidded eyes, but it's all about creating an illusion. The term close-lidded means that your lids cover more of your eyes, which is an exotic look in itself, but can make them look smaller than they are. While this eye shape is most common among Asians, people of any ethnicity can be born with close-lidded eyes. They say that eyes are the windows to your soul -- try these simple makeup techniques to open yours up.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/pale-foundation/ Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:46:26 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/pale-foundation/

Makeup experts say pale-skinned women can look washed out or sallow if their foundation isn't a good match for their light complexion.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/bond-girl-eye-makeup/ Tue, 14 Feb 2012 13:12:38 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/bond-girl-eye-makeup/

Cherry red is a fine color for a sports car, but it doesn't look nearly as good on your face.

Put down that bottle of self-tanner and step away from the tanning booth. The shimmery sparkle of pale, translucent skin is making the rounds on the runways and on the faces of the fashion-forward, thanks largely to the success of the "Twilight" book and movie series.

Before you attempt a flawless makeup application, start with a hydrated canvas. Apply a thin layer of moisturizer onto freshly cleansed skin. For extra benefits, use a product with sunscreen to protect you from the sun's ultraviolet rays. You’ll want the moisturizer to soak into your skin before applying your makeup. So, take five minutes to accessorize your outfit, check your e-mail or make a nutrient-packed power smoothie. Once you’re meticulously moisturized, foundation and powder can help you achieve a flawless face.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/makeup-primers-covering-vitiligo/ Wed, 01 Feb 2012 13:09:14 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/makeup-primers-covering-vitiligo/ http://www.typef.com/article/clothing-wear-blue-nail-polish/ Tue, 31 Jan 2012 01:25:03 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/clothing-wear-blue-nail-polish/
Blue nail polish ranges from soft pastels to metallic rock-star worthy shades, but choosing the right clothing to match with your polish can get complicated.

Fortunately, there are plenty of options for outfits to wear with blue nail polish, and each look is suited to a particular style of polish.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/eyes-look-shadowy-eye-makeup/ Thu, 26 Jan 2012 22:28:17 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/eyes-look-shadowy-eye-makeup/

Red, splotchy skin doesn’t go with any outfit. At the same time, you don’t want to overload your face with a heavy foundation filled with chemicals and irritants that could cause even worse reddening. Creams tend to be heavier than liquid foundation, but sometimes you need that heavier layer to cover up a really bad breakout. A lot depends on how you apply it and what ingredients each foundation contains.]]> http://www.typef.com/article/put-blush-puffy-cheeks/ Sat, 21 Jan 2012 18:41:14 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/put-blush-puffy-cheeks/
Beautiful bone structure is something every diva wants; alas, there are those days -- wrong time of the month or too much to drink -- that a puffy face makes your cheekbones seemingly disappear.

This staple not only gives color to and illuminates your skin, you can contour your cheeks to create some faux bone structure. Bravo for blush!]]> http://www.typef.com/article/eyeshadows-grey-dresses/ Sat, 21 Jan 2012 17:22:14 -0800 http://www.typef.com/article/eyeshadows-grey-dresses/

Even oily skin can be prone to dryness and flaking when environmental factors such as freezing temperatures and indoor air conditioning are thrown into the equation.
