Here are some quick tips from Karen on your appearance:

Do's ...

Don'ts ...

Keep your original hair color or slightly lighter than your original color Color your hair darker than your original color, especially if you are over 35 years old
Wear eyeliner on the tops of your lids, and only 1/2 or 2/3 on bottom Wear eyeliner all around your eyes. It closes in your eyes and causes a harsh look
Highlight your hair if you wish a softer look Leave root marks in your hairline. Take care of your roots if you color your hair
Fill in your eyebrows with a soft eyebrow pencil if you have large gaps or inconsistent eyebrow hair Pluck your eyebrows too short. Eyebrows should be full lengths, extended all the way beyond outer point of eye
Wear a hairstyle appropriate for your age. Be careful to keep 'lift' if you are over 35 Keep long hair if it is fine, stringy or doesn't appear neat
Learn shadowing techniques for eye shadow, depending on your shaped eye Apply eye shadow without blending the colors together for consistent color
Wear eye shadow to compliment your eye color Wear an eye shadow that overtakes and causes your true eye to fade
Learn to use hair products to your advantage - mousse, gel, & thickener Make your hair stiff with hairspray. Let it have some flow
Blend your blush into your hairline and upwards Smear your blush in a blotch, or all over your entire cheek
Use lip liner. Then fill in your entire lip with the liner color. Apply lipstick over top Just line your lips with a liner and leave the rest plain. The lines distract rather than compliment
Match your foundation to your neckline and blend into your neck Wear a makeup different than your skin tone
Be conservative with your base/foundation color. Don't put on too thick Have a line where your make-up ends and your neck begins
Pay attention to your profile when it comes to doing your hair Forget people see you from front, back and sides
Get your hair trimmed or re-shaped regularly Keep length on your hair for the sake of length. Trim off split ends
Use a mask weekly on your face to lift off old skin cells Sleep with your make-up on
Wear a hairstyle appropriate for your face, not just because it is 'trendy' Wear a hairstyle that argues with your personality
Wax or have unwanted facial hair removed Wear a mixture of fragrances
Wear mascara Rub your mascara off at night. Lift it off with an appropriate remover
Have your hairdresser teach you how to obtain the hairstyle you want on your own Let your hairdresser intimidate you. You pay him/her for a service. Learn
Take time to use eye cream Pull or tug the area around your eyes
Use a toner to be certain all your make-up is removed Use a deodorant soap on your face
Part your hair where it has it's natural part Force a hairstyle on your head contrary to how your hair wants to go
Separate your eyebrows if they grow together Let your mustache cover your top lip
Wear make-up colors that compliment your face, are subtle and enhance Wear stark colors, such as blacks or dark purples on your face
Use moisturizer on your face Ignore your skin care
