Beauty secrets for busy women - Looking great with little time Beautiful scents Save expensive perfumes and colognes for special occasions. To smell wonderful everyday, try a deliciously scented body wash or lotion. Great foundation The pros rarely put foundation all over your face just on the spots you need it to smooth out blotches and even out skin tone. It looks more natural (you never get that unattractive makeup line at the chin). Let it sink in If you wait for your moisturizer to absorb before applying foundation, your make-up will last longer. Emergency blush A drop of lipstick on your finger makes a great blush when you're on the go. Just be sure to blend it well. Mix and match lips Got a drawer full of lipstick colours that don't work? Try layering them. Sometimes a combination of two or even three colours will look great! Go-go gloss No need for a separate lip gloss. Mix a drop of petroleum jelly with any lipstick (easiest if you do it with a lip brush) and you'll get gorgeous shine. Savvy shaving Buy body wash instead of soap. Body wash can double as a shaving gel making it a great 2-in-1 deal. -News Canada Pr om T ime! G.M. ollin G.M. Collin M.
