Thin lips?

Obviously you want full, luscious lips. Use a lip pencil to outline your lips just outside the natural line. Then fill in evenly with a lipstick.

Ageing lips?

Are your lips beginning to show your age? Avoid glossy lipsticks. They bleed right into the little lines around your mouth and highlight them. Don't use very dark colours either. Keep your lips very lubricated and soft. A lip liner could help prevent bleeding.

Small eyes?

You have always envied girls with big eyes. You think they are so expressive and eloquent. You've never stopped yearning for them. Use light coloured eye shadow. Extend the to well beyond the corner of the eye. Give your eye more space - define your eyebrows well.

Round face?

Fed up of your chubby face? Shade the sides of your cheeks with a dark shade. It will make your face look more slender.

Long face?

Too angular and horsy for your liking? Shade your forehead and chin with a dark shade. Use a lighter shade on the side of the cheeks to highlight them. It creates an impression of width.

Shades could be just a darker blusher than you normally use. A lighter shade of blusher can be used to highlight the area you want to emphasize.

Broad nose?

You obviously want a Grecian nose. Well shaped and beautiful. Use dark shades on the sides of the nostrils. This will help them look narrower.

Long nose?

Highlight the centre of the nose just above the lip with a light shade. This will give it a wider effect.
