Karin: City Slicker Gets a New Look for a New Life

Karin, 44, has lived in New York City for 20 years, but she is about to move to a small town in upstate New York to fulfill her lifelong dream of running her own theater. "I need a chic-without-being-threatening, easy-to-care-for look to take with me to remember New York by and to help me hold on to my roots," she says.

Crawford brightened up Karin's face by using a slightly lighter foundation, then emphasized her cheekbones using a darker foundation and bronzer. He gave her bright eyes with a pearly beige shadow and smudged liquid eye liner, and warm lips with a spice shade gloss. Lastly, he added a bit of height to her short hair with curling iron, then tousled it for a sexy, casual look.

"I was thrilled with my makeover and have taken all of Jim's suggestions and incorporated them into my daily makeup routine," Karin says. "It takes less time than what I used to do and looks so much better. And for the first time in years I feel like my makeup fits my face!"
