Beauty Tips From Makeup Artists
Face
1. Mix moisturizer into your foundation. - Caitlin Wooters, makeup artist
2. Add a light dusting of blush to your crease and around your temples to pull everything together. - Sasha Simler, makeup artist for Shu Uemura North America
3. For a luminous skin effect, mix foundation with a golden or a pearly white eyeshadow, this will give your complexion a radiance beyond compare. - Nicolas Degennes, creative director of Givenchy beauty
4. Apply cheek color a tad higher on the cheekbone, near the ocular socket. It creates a slight roundness to the part of the face that starts to hollow out as you age. - Rebecca Restrepo, makeup artist
Eyes
1. Put a brightening pencil on the inside of your eye, a major professional makeup artist trick. It's like a concealer for the inside of your eye. It brightens you up, it covers any redness and it's an instant hack to looking more awake. - Ashlee Glazer, makeup artist
2. To extend the life of your mascara, add a few drops of saline solution to the tube and brush around. This will reinvigorate and add moisture to the formula. - Kerry Cole, style director of Beca Cosmetics
3. Apply mascara before liquid liner to create a guide for the perfect cat-eye flick. - Sarah Lucero, global director of education and artistry for Stila
4. A favorite ‘look younger’ makeup tip is to first use a luminzer in the inner corner, then swoop it with a fan burhs underneath the eye. This brightens the face. - Deanna Melluso, celebrity makeup artist
Lips
1.Dab a color corrector all over lips to neutralize the lip tone and to make the lip color more vibrant. —Petra Strand, creator of Pixi by Petra
2. Test lipstick on the inside of your fingertip, rather than on the back of your hand. The pad of your finger closely resembles your own lip color, so see which one looks best there, then move to the lips. —Kerry Cole, style director of Becca Cosmetics
3. Use a flesh-toned eyeliner to outline the lips along the Cupid's bow. This reduces the chance of feathering and makes lips appear fuller. —Petra Strand, creator of Pixi by Petra
4. Pull your bottom lip down and look at the inside color. Pick a lipstick shade that's either lighter or a bit deeper but along the same tone as the inside of your lip. Oh, and don't do this in public. —Maggie Ford Danielson, Benefit global beauty authority
5. Apply concealer to the outer corners of your lips to give your lips a lift. —Niki Metz, director of artistry for Jouer
Brows
1.No. 2 pencils are the perfect graphite shade to sketch in natural eyebrow hairs. Sharpen one to a point and draw in lightly for a finished brow. —James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
2. Gold powder pigment is a great way to lengthen lashes or brows. Use a clean spoolie brush, toothbrush, or mascara wand, and brush a bronze or yellow gold pigment through a mascared lash or brow for a beautiful effect that adds dimension without looking hard. —James Vincent, celebrity makeup artist and director of artistry for Ardency Inn
3. Apply a nourishing balm to your eyebrows before going to bed. This will guarantee extra strength and growth—thicker eyebrows in two weeks. —Terry de Gunzburg, founder of By Terry
4. Apply primer all the way up into the brows so your brow color won't budge. —Niki Metz, director of artistry for Jouer
