Looking good in photos

With summer vacations coming we will be taking lots of pictures.  Here are some tips on how to look your best in a photograph!

My sweet mother-in-law, Betty, once gave me a great tip along these lines-- jut out your chin & touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth while posing.  It looks very funny from the side, but head-on in the photograph it makes a double chin disappear, and your face look thinner!

Make-Up Primers

Not too long ago I started using a make-up primer.  It is a silicone based "gel" that you put on your face before your make-up.  

This is what popular primer Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer's description says:

 

The best-selling formula helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and pores for visibly softer skin. Wear under foundation to increase its longevity, or alone for a velvety-smooth finish

I really like my Smashbox Primer.  But at $36, I was using it very sparingly!

Then I read that there is a "drugstore dupe" of the Smashbox Primer.  Now here is the point at which I need you to trust me...

Yes, folks, the dupe is Monistat Soothing Care Chafing Relief Powder Gel.

I have personally tried this, and it is the *same thing*!  The texture, look, smell and feel is the very same as the Smashbox Primer!!!  The ingredients are the same--the main one being silicone.

The Monistat costs about $6 at Walmart, Target, CVS, Walgreen's etc.  You will find it near the condoms/pregnancy tests etc.

Try it....I dare ya!
