The New Year is the ideal time for women to revamp their winter looks, but holiday spending doesn’t always leave room for a pricey makeover. One affordable resolution any woman can embrace for 2010 is guiltless shopping in the Target beauty aisles.
Test Drive a Bright Color to Bring Out Best Features:
Eyes
JK Jemma Kidd I-Conic Eyes Pencil Liner ($14) and JK Jemma Kidd Silver Screen Mascara Liner Duo ($17) deliver a pop of color that is bold but sophisticated, while Pixi Eye Beauty Kit in Lavender ($28) offers gorgeous deep hues that are universally flattering.
Lips
Play-up lips with a dazzling red such as NP Set Lipgloss in St. John ($15) or, try a bright matte shade with Pixi Lip Blush in Happiness ($18).
Face
For maximum impact, keep the rest of the face neutral to allow dramatic eyes or lips to shine. NP Set Pore Perfecting Pre-Foundation Primer ($26) provides the ultimate smooth and even canvas by soaking up excess oil.
Soften Dull Winter Skin for a Head-to-Toe Glow
Boots No7 Protect & Perfect
