I'm being a question hog...but I just thought of something else :redcheeks:
Just wonder if Gordon can give us the low down on colour correctors...ie. the yellow and green concealers. What colour do you use for what problem and how do we apply them?
Ok...I won't look at this thread again :whistle:
Feel free to ask away TJ :waving: None of us have thought of anything! :chuckle: :hugs:

My question:
Whats the best way to stop eyeliner from falling under my eye, which has the panda-eye effect?? I have tried waterproof eyeliner, mascara and powder under my eye but it all seems to smudge before i'm even out the door.
Thanks :hugs:

Oooh good one PP - one of the reasons I stopped weaaring pencil liner is because I found it wouldn't last and I would get panda eyes!

How about a fail safe way to cover a blemish or cold sore. Always have trouble with this.

How do you wear sultry red lips( or a version of red.I can't wear too bright as it seems a little hard) when you are so used to having smoky eyes. I am always told if you make up one you play down the other but I feel naked if I don't have the eyes made up as I have small eyes. I would love to wear sexy red lips that make your teeth look so white!! Thxs..xx

That last tip about mascara application is really good.

That last tip about mascara application is really good.
For max effect with your lashes, brush the inner third lashes up toward the inner corner of you eyebrow. The middle third lash hairs should be brushed with mascara straight up and the outer third should ne brushed out. This fans out your lashes to open the eyes.
yes it did but I wasn't sure what you did with the last third of your lashes. Where do you brush them? Up? Out to the side. it wasn't specific or did I just miss it all together??

I always brush my outer lashes outward to mimic a flick. It really does open the eye. I'm going to his advice on the inner lashes.

Yes I agree medusa and thats what I thought he was going to suggest. I use individual lashes to elongate the flick ( when I'm going out)so when he didn't say to brush them out I was sort of bemused.
Great suggestions though!!
