Beauty Q & A

Leslie’s most pressing beauty issue is her wrinkly eyes!

Oh no! Unfortunately, our eyes are one of the first places we start to see fine lines and wrinkles. And if you are a squinter such as I am, beware! But it’s never too late to use the Force.

There are so many good quality eye creams and gels on the market right now. I’m partial to Estee Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair Eye serum, but the Salma Hayek Nuance Firming Eye Balm is fantastic and you can find it at CVS. It’s a bit on the thick side, so use it sparingly. But it is so incredibly luxurious you will think you’re using a La Mer product. Only you’re saving hundreds of dollars. Eye products should be used twice a day. Be sure you purchase products that are safe to use on your eyelids. And apply with your ring finger. It sounds silly, but it’s the most gentle of fingers to use and we want gentleness around our peepers. It also helps to use an eye primer before applying eye shadow, but after eye cream.  This will help hide the look of wrinkles and help keep your eye shadows in place longer. Urban Decay and the $2 ELF primer are favorites of mine. Remember that it took years to earn those wrinkly eyes, so it’s not going to be an overnight fix.

Thanks for your question Leslie.  Looking at you kid here is!
