Lip Care Regimen

Follow these three easy steps for kissably soft lips and
color that lasts throughout the day.

Step 1
Gently exfoliate lips with a soft toothbrush or
damp washcloth. This will remove dead skin
cells and get rid of dry, chapped lips.

Step 2
Moisturize and smooth lips with Beyond
Color Plumping Lip Conditioner. Lip lines
are reduced in one sweep, creating a smooth,
polished surface for lip product.

Step 3
Finish off your look with your favorite Avon lip
product. Try one of the fabulous shades of
Ultra Color Rich lipstick, or for plumper lips
try Beyond Color Plumping Lipcolor SPF
15. Looking for long-wearing, transferresistantcolor?
Then try Perfect Wear Extralasting Lipstick. And if you want high
shine, gloss up your pout with Glazewear
Liquid Lip Color.

Beauty School in 10 easy lessons!

BEAUTY SCHOOL in 10 easy lessons!
It’s our crash course in all the makeup must-do’s and how-to’s! We’ll give you everything you need to get all A’s in Avon Beauty… in 10 easy lessons!

1 READY, SET…GLOW!
Lightly dust on Transparent Glow over any other Mineral Foundation shade to set your makeup… and enhance your radiance.
2 LAYER YOUR COLOR
Mineral eyeshadows are perfect for layering because the loose powdery pigments are so featherlight. Try using three shades to build color and intensify the effect.

3 KNOW YOUR SKIN TYPE
Think about your skin’s needs and select the foundation formula that makes sense.
DRY Generally mature skin. Often appears dry, thirsts for moisture, feels tight after cleansing and rarely breaks out. A moisturizing formula is best.
OILY Prone to breakouts, blackheads and large pores. It gets shiny fast and has few or no wrinkles.
Powder is great because it has an oil-absorbing formula.
NORMAL/COMBINATION Neither too oily nor too dry…or may need a little help controlling oil in T-zone. Try a balancing
formula, which moisturizes or mattifies just where you need it.

4 USE BLUSH TO ENHANCE YOUR FACE SHAPE
Find your face shape…then apply your blush to accentuate the positive! Blend on cheekbones for an allover pretty flush of color.
oval

Blend on cheekbones for an allover pretty flush of color.

Round Apply at a 45° angle along cheekbones, upward to temples.

Heart Apply in small circles, focusing on the apples of your cheeks.

Long Apply to apples and blend outward toward ears, not upward to temples.

5 HOW TO CHOOSE THE LIP HUES FOR YOUR SKIN TONE
We’ve customized the colors that complement your skin tone to find the palette of perfect shades for you.
LIGHT SKIN TONE
You look pretty in pinks, soft roses and mauves. A touch of twinkle on your lips also makes your fair skin glow.
LIGHT/MED SKIN TONE
You could go a bit deeper…rosy reds and beguiling berries flatter your skin tone and make your lips blush.
MEDIUM SKIN TONE
Browns, bronzes, beiges and peaches bring out your natural glow… and you look great in the nudes.
DEEP SKIN TONE
Deep browns, rich wines and luscious plums enhance the beauty of your color.

6 MAKE LIP GLOSS LAST LONGER
Use lip liner as an allover base coat of color for gloss to cling to. (Psst…it’s a favorite trick of makeup artists to keep gloss in check.)

1. Line lips to define your shape
2. Fill in entire area with your lip liner
3. Top off your look with matching gloss for juicy shine

7 SOFT SMOKIN’ EYES
A smoldering look is always hot…even in the day! Eyes speak volumes with seductively soft plums or blue shadows. Add color-matched liners for subtle definition.

8 EYE-CATCHING MATCHMAKERS
For the most dramatic eye impact, pair a loose powder shadow with a bold liquid liner in a complementary or contrasting shade.

9 NAILS – OFF TO A SMOOTH START…
Exfoliate your cuticles for smoother, more beautiful nails and to prep your pointers for an impeccably polished look!
10 MANI IN A MINUTE
Take a half a minute to clip, snip, file and buff your way to beautiful, shapely nails. Then with 30 seconds to spare, pick your shade, polish up…and go!

Lip Tricks

Lip Tricks

2. TO TRANSFORM A LIPSTICK SHADE
Use a lip pencil as a base for lipstick to make it look browner, deeper or redder, depending on the shade of the pencil. For a shinier finish, use lipstick as a base for gloss.

3. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK FULLER
Apply a highlighter slightly above the natural contour of the Cupid’s bow. Apply desired shade of lipcolor. Using a lip liner in a shade that matches lipcolor, follow the outer dimensions of the lips and trace around the lip line. Dab gloss on the center of lower lip.

4. TO MAKE LIPS LOOK THINNER
Blend foundation or concealer lightly over the edges of your lips. Dust translucent powder over the area. Using a nude lip liner, outline lips within the natural lip line. Fill lips with a pale shade of lipstick.
