Tip: Mirror Height



Many women use makeup mirrors (either magnifying or non) to apply cosmetics.  While there are many important aspects that go into achieving great face (lightening, brushes, etc), one that isn't heard about much is mirror height.  When applying make-up you want to be looking directly into the mirror, something that may need to be adjusted if you are using a table-top or vanity makeup mirror.  I actually put mine on top of a makeup case so when seated at my vanity (aka dining room table) I'm no longer looking down at the mirror.  Looking down at a mirror causes shadow and darkness under the eyes that might not actually be there, enticing you to cake on concelear.

I don't recommend looking up constantly moving your mirror around, but here's a fun trick.  Next time you're out touching up powder or checking yourself out in a compact mirror try looking at yourself while holding the mirror at 3 different heights - first at chest level, then eye level, then above your head.  You'll always look best (and youngest) when you're looking up at a mirror instead of down at one.  Keep looking up, ladies!
