Makeup that Shines

More Tips

6. Make lip color sheer. Apply a layer of thick balm to lips before slicking on deep color -- this will turn lipstick into a sheer stain.

7. Top lipstick with gloss. Clear lip gloss works over any lip color. Or try a soft peach- or pink-toned gloss, which will subtly change your lip shade.

8. Add shimmer blush. Instead of regular blush, switch to one with a tiny bit of shimmer to it. Apply with a light hand.

9. Wear "whipped" foundation. It has a moisturizing effect and gives skin a dewy look.

10. Skip powder where you can. Powder can give skin a chalky texture -- apply it only where you get greasy.
