Avoid This Ingredient in Your Foundation
Even out your skin tone with a liquid foundation. Warm it up on the back of your hand and apply it to your face, pressing it into your skin to create a seamless finish. But choose a foundation without any SPF; the sunscreen in the formula may make you appear washed-out in flash photography.

Banish Dark Circles
Apply concealer around your entire eye -- not just underneath it. Use a brush to create a "v" shape underneath your eyes, then apply a bit underneath your brow bone and in the corner of your eye. Blend, blend, blend it in a circular motion. This draws attention to your eyes by evening out your skin tone.

The Rule of Three
Apply a matte powder bronzer in a "3" shape, starting at your temples, sweeping under your cheekbones and then down your jawline. This will help you make those cheekbones pop without looking overly contoured.

Lock Your Lipstick in Place
Use a lip liner in the same shade as your lipstick and completely fill in your lips. This creates a base that will help your lipstick last longer.

Don't Make This Powder Mistake
You've seen the photos of celebrities whose powder wasn't blended properly -- the white powder look isn't good. Apply an HD powder with a light hand and a giant fluffy brush to set your makeup. Use a dusting motion, and make sure it's blended all the way.
