Carrie How can I hide dark circles?


BobbiBrown

The biggest beauty trick is getting rid of dark circles. Start with a touch of eye cream if you're skin is dry under your eyes. Then, using a yellow tone concealer one shade lighter than your foundation, applied under your eyes close to the lashes and also in the inner corner of your eye. Pat, blend into skin. A bit of yellow tone powder on top of the concealer will set it and keep it all day. This is the biggest beauty tip I have for women and girls of any age.
SheSmiles I heard somewhere that if you have dark eyes you should try to focus on either your eyes or your lips, but not both at the same time... is that true?


BobbiBrown

What you heard is with dark eye shadow, you should keep your lips light. But dark eyes can have eyeshadow or color, either light or strong, just whatever you chose, make sure your lips are the opposite.
123me How important is ones hair style?


BobbiBrown

Hair makes every girl or woman feel good about themselves or not put together. To me, we're all born with the hair that works for us whether it's straight, curly, light or dark. The trick is to keep hair groomed, washed and conditioned. And make sure you brush it daily and I promise your hair will shine.
SheSmiles I heard those pore stips are bad, are they?


BobbiBrown

I don't think they're bad. I have tried them a couple of times and I can't seem to get them to do anything. Some people love them and definately see them working. They've never worked for me.
123me My teeth are yellowish, what lipstick will work to make them look whiter?


BobbiBrown

Stay away from orangy tones and stick to pinky or rose tones, that will definately make your teeth look whiter.

What do is the single most important piece of beauty advice a girl should take to heart?


BobbiBrown

My biggest beauty advice is to feel good about yourself. It isn't always easy but learn to appreciate what God gave you. If your eyes are not as big as you like, learn to appreciate how exotic and deep set they are. If you have a strong nose, learn to love it because there are many amazing looking girls and actresses with strong noses that are awesome. Like Helen Hunt and Demi Moore. So, learn to be comfortable in your own skin, it will help in the long run, I promise.
mnkyluv Is there a way to hide freckles that outline your lips and on your lips without having to go to a dark lipstick?


BobbiBrown

There's no way to cover up freckles, wherever you have freckles be happy because most girls with freckles end up having perfect skin. Just play up your cheeks with pretty blush and stick to any lip colors and don't worry about the freckles.
