Beauty Tip No. 2

Beauty Tip No. 2

Painting Your Face! Drag out all of your beauty items and arrange them on your artist pallet if you have one, if not, use your dressing table top. You will need, from left to right, sandpaper, putty, and a variety of paint colors. I prefer the wilder, brighter colors to make me “look” alive. Tools needed include putty knife, electric buffer, and real, horse hair painter’s brushes (cheap brushes cause streaking). There is no need to remove your face from your head for this procedure, unless you really need to take a closer look at those wrinkles and age spots to ensure they are sufficiently filled and covered with putty. First, wash your face, whether it needs it or not! Sand the rough edges and squirt a little putty in the wrinkles (better than Botox!). Sand again…just because. Apply paint with the appropriate sized paint brush (big brush for big mouths!). Line the eyes and lips with a smaller, thinner paint brush, being careful not to seal them shut. Dab on the blush on the cheek bones, and you’re good to go! Yes, you will resemble a painted flower pot! Nothing like a fresh coat of paint to make a girl feel special.
