Makeup Primer: Worth the Extra Step?

Find out if they make a visible difference


Pro makeup artist Molly Stern says primers are meant to serve as a layer between skin and foundation to create a more even surface. But not everyone needs them. "The best candidate for them would be someone who is very oily or has a lot of scarring from acne," she says. But do primers actually make a difference? We had two women of different ages each test a top foundation primer geared toward their skin type. Find out if their makeup looked better ... and if anyone noticed.

Lancome Treatment Tips


I received some mail from Lancome recently with some beauty tips that I would like to share with you all. The tips are brought to you by Dr Tina Alster, who is Lancome's Consulting Dermatologist.

NEVER APPLY DRY
Skin is like a sponge and will absorb products better if it's already damp following cleaning and toning.

MASSAGE AND LIFT
Apply your daily moisturizer with a face-lifting touch-in an upward, outward direction to defy gravity.

HANDS OFF
Stop touching your face througout the day. Each time you touch, you are potentially disposing dirt, oil or worse.

GET YOUR BEAUTY SEEP
Nighttime is the best time to fight wrinkles. When skin is resting, it's naturally more receptive to self repair and renewal treatments.
