A: Well, that depends. Are your eyes brown or another color? Makeup artist Bobbi Brown says that it’s best to select shades that contrast your eye color — if your eyes are blue or green. For blue eyes, she suggests plum tones. For green eyes, golden browns are best. However, brown eyes should wear shadows in the same color family, such as beige and sable. Some nice eye shadow sets to choose from: DuWop Eye Palettes – Brown, DuWop Smoke Plum Wine, Stila Eye Shadow Trio Gold Glow.

A: Unless your skin is seriously sensitive — and in that case, see a dermatologist — you should definitely be exfoliating! Sloughing off dead skin cells has many benefits, including revealing newer, more radiant skin and letting products penetrate deeper into the skin. Not exfoliating creates a dull, dry complexion and contributes to clogged pores. The key is to look for a gentle scrub that’s specifically designed for sensitive skin. Juice Beauty Green Apple Peel Sensitive is formulated with a potent 10 percent complex with certified organic apple, lemon, grape juices and raw cane sugar. It leaves skin radiant, nourished and healthy. To exfoliate the body, try NUXE Reve de Miel Fondant Exfoliating Shower Cream. It features spherical beads to smooth away dead skin.
