Yes, you T-Girls are awesome I have been overwhelmed at the response to this video. Within a matter of days of this video hitting YouTube it had 2000 hits.

My question is WHY do you think this video has had way more hits than the other ones. The best answer get a copy of my new on-line ‘T-Girls Guide To Looking Fabulous.’

Nicole, Australia asks “I Have Big Lips. How can I Make Them Look More Balanced In Appearance?

Remembering you are the mistress of illusion, you are going to craft your lips cleverly with using a combination of dark and light colours to create a more balance appearance to your lips. And here are a couple of rules for your lips:

Rule #1: Use a Lip Liner with your lipstick to define the shape and size

Rule #2: To enlarge you lip appearance use a dark Lip Liner. To diminish use a light coloured Lip Liner

Have a look at the video to see how to apply your Lip Liner and Lipstick to create balance with your lips. Here are 5 easy steps you should follow:

1. Use a lip-liner to outline your lip. Remember to use a dark colour to enlarge and a light colour to diminish your lip size.
2. Start with your top lip by finding the cupid’s bow in the middle and give it some ‘cleavage’.
3. Draw just outside the natural lip line to increase the appearance of the lip
4. Draw on the inside of the lip line to decrease the size of the lip.
5. Apply your lipstick with a brush to achieve a better finish, and get more definition with crisper lines

And there you have it. Practice a few times to get the look and balance to your lips you are happy with. And if you want some feedback or a bit of help, just ask some of your T-Girlfriends to come around and have a look at the video, then try it out together. That way you can help each other achieve your best appearance.

Thank you to all you T-Girls out there who have sent in your questions. There have been so many so we are going to answer as many as we can over them coming weeks. Have a look at the T-Girls video clips to see step-by-step the answers to many of your questions. And there is a summary of what to do below also.

This week let’s look at a couple of makeup tips. There are a couple of rules to remember when selecting and applying makeup, remembering that makeup is all about creating an illusion, you are the mistress artist accentuating your attractive features and disguising those features you want to hide. That is how all us girls make ourselves look so fantastically attractive!

Rule #1: Remember, darker colours draw in and lighter colours draw out your features.

Rule #2: Practice, practice, practice

Chantelle from the UK asked how she could get more definition to her cheeks. This is very easy and you can do this by correctly selecting and applying foundation and blusher in 7 simple steps:

1. Select a darker foundation which will give your cheeks a more ‘hollow’ appearance.
2. Use a proper makeup brush to apply your foundation to give a softer and more even natural look.
3. Apply a blusher to emphasise and highlight your cheekbone
4. Select pink blushers rather than earthy colours, to give you a more flattering and natural glow.
5. Again apply the blusher with a brush by following a half moon curve along your cheek bone.
6. A good rule of thumb is the blusher should be applied to not more than two fingers spaces from the side of your nose to your cheek.
7. The blusher colour should finish on your cheekbone beneath your iris.

And that’s it! This will give your cheek bones greater prominence and definition giving your face a very attractive feminine look.

Summer is fast approaching, so it’s time to focus on getting rid of that dark winter palette, and add some light and refreshing shades to your makeup drawer.

The new trends for summer 2009/2010 are bold yet subtle, light and airy, and perfect for t-girls who want to make a first impression no one will forget and every girl will envy.

Here are two of our favorite summer makeup trends:

1. Sculpt It Up!!

That’s right, it’s the stuff the Greek Gods were made of…stone. The one way to capture the beauty of the past is through sculpting. Today, the perfection of statues is being used in makeup through a new trend called sculptural makeup application. The sculptural look adds a sensual and feminine side to any girl’s makeup regimen, and it’s perfect for summer.

The look can be achieved by using foundation and light face powders combined with highlighting your cheeks in brownish shades. The look can easily translate a boring look into geometrical art with a few strokes of your makeup brush.

2. A Touch of Rose

This summer roses are a t-girl’s best friend…next to diamonds of course! This summer, rosy cheeks are making a comeback by contrasting with natural and fresh skin.

To get the rosy look, contrast is very important. Your eyes should be strongly outlined, the lips should be natural and your cheeks should be blushed with rose…. go crazy with it!  The look is actually quite stunning and is great for a summer night out or a nice casual walk around the city.

There are so many fancy makeup tips a T-Girl can experiment with, these can include the latest summer colors or a deep smokey eye. However, learning how to “seal the deal” and create a flawless finish to your signature look is key to your success.

Remember, every girl has a “it” look that works for them. Whether it’s a natural look that’s simple or a subtle dramatic look to add some spunk, the finishing process is still the same. Here are three steps to help you conquer your amazing finale:

1. Every morning and every night you should use a gentle cleanser to keep your skin free of buildup. When you are cleansing your face use upward strokes. These upward strokes not only help fight gravity and prevent future wrinkles, but they help prevent skin irritation.
2. Use a toner to freshen up your skin, a moisturizer to hydrate (don’t forget the SPF) and exfoliate at least 2 to 3 times per week.
3. Create an all day flawless daytime look using loose powder. After applying your foundation and concealer, distribute loose powder evenly over the entire face and neck to set your foundation and concealer. Throughout the day you can apply pressed powder with a sponge or powder brush.

So, what’s the secret to that flawless finish? You guessed it, loose powder. Here are a few additional tips to help you apply it for you skin and age.

• Be sure to choose a powder that’s 3 shades lighter than your foundation
• If you are over the age of 30 do not use the powder under your eyes because it can make wrinkles stand out.
• If your skin is extra shiny, and loose powder doesn’t get rid of all the oil, use oil blotting sheets.
