- Using eye drops (that are meant to get the red out) on a red blemish will "take the red out" making it easier to cover with concealer.
- Using a concealer brush or a Q-tip works best to spot cover blemishes when you apply it in a tapping motion on and around the edges to blend in.
- When you brush your teeth, run your wet toothbrush over your lips to exfoliate and make them smooth.
- Applying foundation and powder onto your lips prior to lipstick makes it last longer, and if you wear lip liner, it prevents it from feathering (bleeding into lip lines).
- Applying mascara FIRST before any other eye makeup allows you to clean up smudges or smears without ruining eye shadow or liner you may have already applied.
- When buying blush, the color of your cheeks when you pinch the apples (highest part on cheekbone) is your true color when you blush, and a great guideline to finding a natural color for you.
- Colored mascara is a great way to make your eyes “pop”.
- Makeup removing cleanser cloths (without water) are the best way to take off makeup before bed if you’re too tired to wash your face.
- Woke up with puffy eyes? Wet and chill a wash cloth in the freezer for 5 minutes and sit up while pressing it on your eyes to reduce swelling. Limit salt and alcohol intake before bed because that’s the culprit!
- Blotting sheets (oil absorbing papers) work better than powder to remove shine throughout the day because it won’t disturb your makeup and will leave your skin matte.
