TRICKS

Apply cherry lip balm in the center of your lips. Patting gloss there has plumping power (attract­ing the light) and it will stay longer because of its pigment.

Make a customized tinted moisturizer that matches your skin exactly. Just mix a few drops of liquid foundation or liquid to powder founda­tion with a few drops of instant bronzer.

Create soft definition on eyes by dabbing an eye-lining pencil in between roots of the upper lashes, and then smudging with a tiny brush.

Find the most flattering lip shade by biting your lips for thirty seconds and matching that color. Another way to choose the right shade is to match the color to the inside of your lower lip.

Pick up your blush by lightly tapping the blush with only the tips of the bristles.

Otherwise, you’re not only wasting a lot of prod­uct but applying just too much. You should barely be able to see the color on the brush.

Tap your BLUSH BRUSH on a tissue remove any excess.

Never stroke color across cheeks. Just smile and PAT THE BRUSH on your cheekbones.

To remove excess blush from cheeks, dampen a cloth and LIGHTLY PRESS the cloth to your face.
