What is the best makeup for oily skin?
Oily skin is tough to deal with especially in the summer. My fix: oil free primer and Make Up For Ever HD foundation powder.I know Mary Kay has a good mattifier, and I like Bare Escentuals foundation as it soaks up all the extra oil. Keep blotting sheets with you for touch ups throughout the day.
Should you match your eyeshadow color to your clothes?
NO! If you’re wearing a green shirt, don’t wear green eyeshadow- it’s too matchy matchy. Instead, choose something that is opposite on the color wheel. My biggest tip: the brighter the clothes, the more neutral color the makeup- this doesn’t mean you need to do a simple look… You can wear a dramatic look if you have a bright pink top on, but go with a black smokey eye or a brown smudged look instead of something with color. If you are wearing black, brown, or another neutral, then go with a brighter color for the eyes or lips for that “pop”.
How do I cover up acne?
Use concealer that is 1-2 shades darker than your skin. If you use a light concealer, it’s only going to enhance the acne instead of actually hiding it. The trick is to blend around the edges or apply foundation over the concealer to smooth out the color difference. If you have redness from the acne, use a green concealer as it counteracts redness- you do need to apply foundation on top though so you don’t look like Kermit….
My favorite concealers: Coastal Scents Camo Quad, Make Up For Ever cream concealer, and Bobbi Brown Concealer (for under the eyes)
How do you do your eyebrows?
I used to take a stiff angled brow brush and matte eyeshadow around the same color as my brows and fill in. For the blank spots, I’ll take a dry feeling brow or eyeliner pencil and do small strokes to fill in. But, recently I’ve fallen in love with Tarte’s Brow Mousse- it’s so easy to use and so natural looking, plus it lasts all day!
I do recommend for shaping the brows that you go 4 times a year to have them professionally shaped- Makeup artist, estheticians and hair stylists do brows on a regular basis and can analyze and create a shape that suits you as each person’s face and brows are different. Then you can just tweeze or wax in between shapings…
How can I avoid looking pale in pictures?
If you know you’re having pictures done, wear extra makeup- especially for blush, lips, and lashes as the flash will wash you out. If you feel you have just a little too much makeup on, then it’s probably just right for pictures.
