Three Makeup Dilemmas Solved!
Beauty expert Sandy Gold joined Steven and Chris on the show to solve three common makeup dilemmas with makeovers!
Here are Sandy's tips and tricks:
Makeup Dilemma #1
Jenny wants to look older and more sophisticated.

Sandy says:
Having a full, round face is usually a feature that people relate with looking young and youthful, so...
- sculpting the cheekbones and chin will help to add a few years to your look.
- dark lipstick will make you older than a lighter lipstick.
- darker eyebrows take away some youthfulness, so fill them in so that they still look natural
but fuller and more defined.
- use neutral tones on the eyes, a gel-eyeliner and mascara to maintain a professional look
that is simple, yet elegant.

Makeup Dilemma #2
Joelle needs a solution for her red blotchy skin.

Sandy says:
- Use a Green Corrector, which is a product that is applied before foundation and is used as
a spot treatment on areas where you might need to counteract any redness on the skin.
A few things you might want to consider when applying a green corrector are:
1. You should never be able to physically see "green" pigment on the skin. If you do, it
probably means you have applied too much, so always remember that a little goes a
long way.
2. You want to choose a corrector that has a nice gel-like texture that just melts away into
the skin. You don't want to get a product that requires you to do a lot of rubbing or
blending, because too much fussing in the area could actually make it more red.
- Next, use a medium to full-coverage foundation with a yellow undertone and apply it all over
to even out the complexion and bring some warmth to the skin.
- To cover blemishes, apply an opaque oil-free liquid concealer as a spot treatment. Don't
use a cream concealer, as too much blending and pressing and patting will cause the
area to get red again. A liquid concealer should melt away and look like your second skin.
- Finish with a light dusting of a blotting powder to set the makeup and keep it looking fresh
and flawless all day long!

Diahann is naturally beautiful and loves to play with makeup, which is so much fun, and I love that! But, unfortunately, she was playing with all the wrong colours!
- Use a yellow-based foundation
- Use a neutral palette
- Create a soft smokey eye
