These clever tricks will save your face during the party season.


- Ran out of lipstick? Make your own by rubbing on a lip balm, then dip your finger into a pink-coloured powder shadow or blush and press it onto your lips. You'll wind up with a rick lip colour that's shiny and sheer.



- Brow powder may look natural, but most formulations don't last long and tend to disappear by lunchtime. The solution? Use a brow pencil before you apply your brow powder. The pencil's wax base will hold the powder in place.



- to counteract dark circles, pat on a yellow-based concealer on shade lighter than your foundation, as close to the lower lash line as possible. Blend right down to the eye socket and on the sides of your nose.
