   Not all beauty comes from within. Sometimes, with the help of a few key makeup tricks, it’s possible to perk up your look in an instant. So whether you’re seeking to slim your face, brighten your eyes or simply get fuller lashes, we’ve found some goodies that you can tote in your purse for quick fixes.
Slimmer Face - It Cosmetics’ My Sculpted Face Palette ($38 at HSN.com) acts as a how-to guide for contouring your face and camouflaging winter weight gain. Six different shades of vitamin E-enriched powder help highlight some of your favorite features (like cheekbones) and minimize others (so you can say bye-bye to your double chin for a while). Bright Eyes With a few easy swipes, Cargo’s EyeLighter Eye Brightening Stick in Shimmer & Matte ($17 at Drugstore.com) makes under-slept eyes appear totally rested. For a quick fix, dab the inner corner of your eye with the shiny end, and apply the matte end at the outside corner. Whiter Teeth Crest’s new Whitestrips Advanced Seal ($39.99 at Drugstore.com) are more powerful and less messy than its predecessor. The strips stay in place and you can smile easier in just a few days. Need another quick whitening trick? Use darker lipstick to call out teeth's white color. Smooth Complexion - Olay’s Professional Pro-X Wrinkle Smoothing Cream ($42 at Drugstore.com) uses peptides and B vitamins to help minimize wrinkles without breaking the bank. This nighttime moisturizer helps reverse skin damage so you look younger each time you wake up. Hollywood Lashes - While an entire strip of fake lashes can be slightly reminiscent of Halloween, Make Up For Ever's Individual Eyelashes ($15 at Sephora) provide subtle volume in just the right spots. Glue them in the corners of the eye for a night out or toward the center for a more casual look.
Perfect Glow - When it's time to prep your dry, winter skin for warm weather, a bronzer can help you fake that much-needed glow. For a quick fix, mist the face and neck with Guerlain's Terracota Spray Bronzer SPF 10 ($59 at Sephora). Shiny Hair - Not everyone is blessed with thick shiny hair, and the people behind Graham Webb’s Silk Repair Advanced Therapy Treatment ($4.50 per 1 ounce at GrahamWebb.com) understand that. After one use, the two-part foamy conditioning rinse penetrates the hair cuticle for a lasting shine. Defy Time - Once wrinkles creep up around the eyes, it’s not an easy fix. But ZO Skin Health Olluminate Intense Eye Repair ($130 at Nordstrom) strives to do just that. The splurge-worthy anti-aging formula has retinol and calming qualities to fight both wrinkles and puffy eyes. French Manicure - You no longer have to rush to the nail salon in hopes of fitting in a French manicure. Instead, try Sephora’s Easy French Manicure Duo ($8 at Sephora), which has a double wand and quick-drying polish so you can do your mani or pedi on the go. Beautiful Brows - Benefit’s Brow Zings Kit ($30 at BenefitCosmetics.com) combines all the essentials—brow wax, setting powder, mini tweezers and a set of blending brushes to keep your brows in top shape. Plus, accentuating healthy brows is a great way to subtly define the face without overloading on makeup. Pampered Hands - With so much focus on the face, it can be tough when hands start to show age, and Bliss Glamour Gloves ($48 at Sephora) prove that hands can use some pampering too. Within 20 minutes of wearing the gloves, the essential oils on the inside get to work on a mini-makeover for stressed out hands. Give these ABOVE TRICK 's a Try ! More stuff : Tags:
