Do you keep a pair of sunglasses in your bag and the glove compartment of your car? Those are the two most common place to hid them. Now, why do we talk about sunglasses or the places to store them?

Read on….

Experts say: You should really store them in both spots. Sunglasses can help you avoid squinting, which creates and deepens lines around the eyes over time, says Dr. Anne Ferriols of Blooming Skin and Cosmetic Surgery Center. “Protecting your eyes is just as important as protecting your skin. Without proper eye protection, you can develop eye diseases such as cataracts, so make sure your sun glasses have UVA and UVB protection.”

Face saver: Spring for a nice pair of wrap around or wide –frame sunglasses to help protect your eyes and skin from damaging UVA and UVB rays. Also, opt for makeup formulated with SPF whenever possible. For extra protection, you can apply an anti-wrinkle eye cream that contains anti-oxidants to fight the free radical damage caused by sun exposure.

You just finished a fabulous smoky eye job, and while doing the finishing touches on your mascara, you blink, and end up with black splotches.

Or, if you have an earth-toned eyeliner in your purse, draw a bold line across your lid and blend it in., the liner helps soften the color so there’s less contrast with your skin.

Next time:
Swipe on pressed powder over your lids like Maybelline Clear Smooth Pressed Powder, Php 199, First- this prevents the shadow’s pigments from mixing with oils in your skin and intensifying.
