Q: My makeup ever looks wonderful exact following I’ve applied it but after several hours it fades. How do you make your makeup last throughout the day?

A: The answer may perhaps surprise you whether the product says “long-wearing” or not, you can keep your makeup looking new from dusk ’til dawn by with proper application techniques. The best trick I have learned above the years: Loose powder is your complexion’s finest friend!

• Concealer-Lightly dot concealer and blend using your finger or concealer brush around the under-eye area. Seal coverage by lightly sweeping the area with a small powder brush dusted with sheer, loose powder.

• Cream Blush-I am a firm believer that less is extra especially using cream products. Since of its consistency, it is the nature of cream blush to move on the face. One way to prevent this from happening is to handling a dusting of sheer loose powder higher than the cheeks after you have applied the blush to keep it where it belongs-on your cheeks.

Eyeliner-Eyeliner smudges by nature, but tends to look sexier when slightly imperfect. Rather than with black, which can look harsh, I often recommend trying navy blue.

To try: Sonia Kashuk Eye Definer in Midnight. Tip: For a strong, solid line, usage a liquid liner for precision and stay-put finish.

Lipstick/Lip Gloss-There are products on the market made specifically to prevent feathering, and a secret trick of mine that I ever usage if I don’t have my Lip Glossing/No Feather Pencil on me is to dab foundation on your fingertip and smooth it above your lip line. This smooths out several lines around the mouth and provides an even surface for lip color to adhere and stick to.

Q: How do I know what makeup colors work finest for my coloring?

A: Here’s a surprising tip: To identify colors that will work for you, handling your hair because a guide, not your eyes! If you’re blonde, go with creams and taupes. Brunettes look great inside mochas and chocolate browns. If you’re auburn or a redhead, choose shades of copper and peach, or wonderful tones like pinks and lavenders. Gray hair looks gorgeous using tones of grays, soft purples and blues.

If you’re unsure about colors, stick to neutrals. You be able to still achieve drama and diversity with neutral tones-they’re truly my favorite to work with. Or, to make it actually simple, pick up one of my new Face Palettes, which are designed to correspond to your specific hair hue for expertly coordinated, complementary colors.
