BEAUTY PRODUCTS THAT WORK on EVERYONE

A true handy beauty product is hard to find, since what looks good on your sister could seem gaudy or horrible on you. But there are assured ones that really do work for any and every skin tone.

BB Cream With a Bonus

Like there’s some unsaid rule, BB creams are rarely available in more than two or three shades. The secret to making a BB work for you: Find one with extra properties (like bronzing or illuminati­ng) and use it as a makeup booster. This way, you can mix it with moisturize­r for diffused colour, which makes it more tolerant than straight from the tube or with your foundation.

Creamy Blush

Cream and liquid blushes are so pure that there’s no way for them not to look convincing. While the texture makes them almost infallible regardless of the hue, there’s no way you can go wrong with a peach or coral shade. The only drawback: They don’t last as long as their powder counter-parts, so stash a travelfrie­ndly version one on your desk or in your purse for touch-ups.

Allover Luminizer

It’s like strobing, simplified: A quick dusting of luminizing powder gives skin that lit-from-within effect that’s usually attains either by miracle or lots of candleligh­t.. The rose-gold tone is a key. The result should instead be gleaming and glowing.

a Shadow Palette of Nudes

The urban Decay’s Naked Palette is such runaway hits. While neutrals are tried-and-true for office hours or easy daytime looks, don’t mistake that for dull. Iin addition, having a preset variety of shades takes speculatio­n out of it, and gives you endless preference for testing.

Burgundy Eyeliner

The black eyeliner is indisputab­ly a classic and universall­y flattering opt for a colour instead can have a huge payoff. It gives a subtle, but sensible distinctio­n. Try them with a smoky eye for a modern twist.
