Though proper daily skincare will make all the difference in how healthy your skin is, many people forget about a step that shouldn’t be done daily, but is not to be passed over:

EXFOLIATION:

Your skin is constantly shedding, so you need to get the dead layers off.   Doing so really makes a difference in how easily you are able to apply your makeup. It also gets down to the new, attractive layers of dermis. If you think about it, your dead skin cells aren’t going to be vibrant with health because they are, well, dead. So getting rid of them will improve the glow of your skin.

Easily lighten any lipstick or cream eyeshadow.

If you love the color of one of your cream eyeshadows or lipsticks, but wish the color was lighter or less intense, try this trick:

Mix creme concealer with your chosen product for a lighter, creamier finish. The more concealer you add, the lighter it will be.  You can also try a thin, sparing amount of it onto moisturized, exfoliating lips before applying lipstick.  This will also create a softer, lighter look.

Using normal lipstick to create a sheer gloss.

Do you have a lipstick shade that you wish you had as gloss?  You can create the same look by simply applying the gloss first.

Start by covering your lips before lipstick application with a light coat of clear, long lasting lip gloss.  The gloss will smooth out the texture of your lips, making less of a surface for your lipstick to “grab” on to.  This will cause the color of your lipstick to come off with a much sheerer consistency.

This look does not require lipliner, and you do not need to apply lipstick all the way to the outer edges of your lip line.  Just concentrate the color on the inner area and blot your lips together a few times (without tissue) to softly blend the color over the rest of your lips.
