Putting Your Best Face And Figure Forward

1. Do you appreciate your best assets?

2. Do you tend to follow trends?

3. Do you take advantage of the latest beauty techniques for the best possible effect?

You may be able to find the right answers for yourself with the help of a few expert tips to make the most of your looks from Figure magazine, the leading magazine celebrating the plus-size woman. It features articles by nationally recognized authors, a glimpse at the life and style of plus-size celebrities, and an array of fashion and beauty advice that empowers readers to confidently re-create fashion looks in their own style. Here are a few of the publication's suggestions:

• Care for your skin by wearing a moisturizing foundation. Stun admirers and gain new ones using a moisturizing foundation such as Neutrogena Healthy Skin Liquid Makeup.

• Balance the intensity of lip and eye colors. If you're wearing cranberry-colored lipstick, your eyes shouldn't be bare because it'll be too much of a contrast.

• Pucker up luscious lips. Moisture is the key. If you're wearing dark colors, you must keep your lips properly moisturized at all times. For voluptuous lips, first apply a base coat of lip balm and then blot your lips. Next, use a neutral lip liner such as CoverGirl Outlast Smoothwear Lipliner in Plum or Wine. Blot again. Finally, apply lipstick-like CoverGirl Continuous Color in Cherry Trifle or Bistro Burgundy. Blot again. Blotting sets each layer of color so it won't fade away. If you prefer lip gloss for a night out, add a little shimmer with Max Factor MAXwear Lip Colors in Mauve Sequence or Cocoa Frosty.

• Bat glamorous eyes. Even when you're going for intense looks, stick to one or two eye shadow colors. For example, try Neutrogena Mineral Sheers for Eyes in Clay. It comes with a second color to swoop from lash line to brow bone and a second to highlight. Line with CoverGirl Liquid Pencil in Onyx. Finish with supersexy eyelashes by layering Max Factor Lash Perfection Mascara in Deep Blue and Soft Black.
