It’s time to light up the night with shimmer! Shimmer shadows, glosses and highlighting powders are “in” and a wonderful way to warm up cool days and sparkle all night long.
The best places to wear shimmer are eyelids, under the brow bone, ridge of the cheekbone and lips.
For eyes, Paula Dorf Eye Color Glimmer is translucent, sheer shimmer in colors and neutrals to wear as eyeshadow or as a highlight.
For lips there are dozens of great shimmer glosses. Revlon’s Skinlights Glosslights capture light with micro-crystals for a glimmery shine on your lips.
Light and neutral shades are perfect for daytime but don’t be afraid to be daring in the evening. Why not try Nivea’s Silky Shimmer Lotion? It moisturizes for silky, touchable skin and gives you an all-over radiant glow.

Eyebrows frame the eye and their shape, length and thickness can dramatically change the appearance of the eye and the face. It is possible to have your eyebrows shaped and waxed professionally but if you want beauty on a budget, it may be an expense that is unnecessary.
Tweezers
Shaping and tweezing the brow is the first most important step and a stencil makes it a mistake-proof process. Remember after tweezing to brush the eyebrow upwards and to trim the longer hairs with a small pair of scissors. Plucking those long strays will only leave gaps in the brow and thin it out too much. You can then go over the brow with a filling powder for more definition. Following this up with a clear gel mascara will keep the color from wearing off and keep the brow shape clean and defined. A tinted gel for brows will do both jobs well.
Sudden Change Stencil-In Perfect Brows comes with brow pencils and is under $5.00 available from Drugstore dot com but Walgreens has Hair Off Brow Stencils for just $3.79. They also carry a combination brow pencil/gel wand from Revlon for just $7.49.

If you prefer, eyebrow kits are available in a wide price range and generally include stencils, filling powder or pencils and often a gel wand or some other type of sealer for the brow color. A great kit from Paula Dorf can be found for $29.95 from HSN.
