Sephora saves the day

If you live in the city and want to change your look for an after-work event, head to Sephora and make yourself over by trying out all their makeup for free. I've done this more than once and it works fabulously. Just make sure you have your own mirror with you so that you can check the amount of makeup on your face before you go anyway. The lighting around those mirrors really makes it seem like you have half of the amount that you actually have on...last time that happened I left the store looking like a clown!
