Classic Beauty Secrets From Downton Abbey

I finally jumped on the Downton Abbey bandwagon. And I admit, it took me until Season 3 to fully understand the hype. But now I'm hooked. Oh, the drama!

Like Mad Men, I get a kick out of the ladies' period costumes, fashions, and hairstyles. There are some important, and amusing, beauty lessons to be learned from the show, as discovered by Sharon of Daily Glow:

1. Your complexion always looks better in candlelight.
2. For an instant anti-aging trick, stand next to someone who's at least 30 years your senior.
3. Don't underestimate the power of a red lip.
4. You'll never have a bad hair day if you stick to braids and updos.
5. When in doubt, wear a hat.

Last night, I was feeling under the weather so I went to bed early with my iPad and snuggled up with the Grantham fam. After a marathon viewing session, I'm all caught up. The episode that aired last night had me bawling like a baby!
