Judith Allen is the creator and presenter of this short makeup tape aimed at women over 40. After briefly explaining her concept of using two foundations, ON (which matches skin color) and OFF (which is 1-3 shades lighter), she demonstrates makeup techniques on a model. In addition to foundation, Allen offers tips on using camouflage cream, powder, eyebrow and eyeliner pencils, mascara, lip gloss, blush, and highlighter. These "tools" enhance the eyes and lips, a procedure that Allen calls "bringing out the family jewels." Not a bad program, but Florence Henderson's Looking Great, Feeling Great (reviewed in our November, 1991 issue) covers the same ground and much more for nearly half the price. Not a necessary purchase. (Available from: Instructional Video, Inc., 727 "O" St., Lincoln, NE 68508; 1-800-228-0164.)
