When it comes to our personal makeup routines, it's easy to get stuck doing the same old thing. So we brought a real expert on the show to help us out. Fatima Thomas is a veteran MAC Cosmetics makeup artist with over 20 years experience. Check out her tips on hiding wrinkles, keeping your skin glowing, and getting that perfect smoky eye, all in the videos above!
Is 12 too young for makeup?
Makeup use should be a personal thing, a choice each individual makes. But as a parent, watching a "tween" daughter use makeup excessively crosses a few lines. "As a kid, I was always obsessed with makeup," Fatima admits, so she can definitely identify with how a young girl can feel. But her advice is to "strike a deal" with the overusing party. "Let her play at home, fulfill that need in the comfort of the home," suggests Fatima. It may be best not to cut her off completely - "Let her start wearing some lip products, some light, sheer things." But there may come a day when you don't have as much control, and for advice on what to say, I'll turn to someone notable in my life. When my sister and I asked our father if we could use makeup, he'd say to us, "bite your lips and pinch your cheeks, nature gave you all the color you need!"
