Enhance Your Face And Save It, Too Ideally, we’d wake up like Beyoncé every morning – with flawless skin, a natural-looking glow and professional makeup (applied for us, obviously). But, while our dreams of stardom (and a having a personal makeup artist on hand) might be farfetched, the goal to obtain healthy pores and a red carpet look is not too, too far out of reach. In fact, all you really need is a great skin care regimen (rules do apply) and the right cosmetics. Instead of stressing about how to become Bey’s backup singer, or at least her beauty-doppelganger, we’ve compiled some easy-to-execute tips that will have you radiating like a superstar in no time. Removing Makeup At Night Wearing a full face of foundation, blush and lips can enhance your looks, but if you leave makeup on for too long, it’s going to do the opposite! Allow your skin to breathe. Makeup remover wipes, gentle cleansers and moisturizers are best for optimal results. After all, you’ll need a blank canvas to restart painting your masterpiece the next morning! Don’t Touch Your Face While pesky pimples and other skin ailments might pop up, it’s important to restrain from rubbing, leaning on or picking at problem areas. On our hands lie bacteria, which only cause more problems for our sensitive issues. Instead of messing with the mess, leave it be! Your skin will thank you later. Find The Perfect Primer After prepping with moisturizer, priming skin is important for increasing the longevity of your makeup. Our Smooth & Matte Primer diffuses imperfections, combats oil and helps makeup last. It’s shine-free, too! Our Brilliant Glow: Illuminating Primer & Skin Perfector revitalizes dull, tired, lackluster skin and restores the look of a brighter, healthier and more luminous glow. You can wear it alone and let it hydrate your skin. Or, apply it under foundation to create a glow from within!
Prepping Your Pucker Even though we focus a lot of maintaining our cheeks, forehead, T-zone and jawline, mouths should not be ignored! Before you put anything on your lips, they should be exfoliated – even if it’s with a little bit of warm water and a sugar scrub. Once you’ve laid the foundation, apply your favorite product and lay a kiss on the ones you love. Be sure to utilize these easy steps to protect your skin, while wearing makeup, every day. Do as Beyoncé would – right?
