"Hello! I'm Peggy Hafernick and I'm speaking on behalf of Expert Village. Today we're going to be talking about skin care and applying makeup.

Feathering is a result of those fine lines and wrinkles around our lips. Again, on someone young like you, you may just want to line it to give your lips definition that you want and then fill in. Okay. You can use the lipstick brush. Our colors really are more muted than they look. It's always a surprise for me and clients when we apply color. You think there's no way I could use that color."
