Q: How can I make my foundation look more natural? 

A: When it comes to natural-looking foundation, there’s one thing to remember—a little goes a long way. Start with a small amount to lightly cover your face, then, if you need more coverage in certain spots, lightly pat concealer over the spot with the pad of your ring finger, and top with a dusting of powder.

A2: What’s the easiest way to make my makeup go from day to night? Nighttime makeup calls for more pigment, and the easiest way to make this change is on your lips. Switch to a deep, bold shade, like a creamy burgundy, or go brighter with a classic matte red mouth. Even a shiny gloss in a fun shade like fuchsia is appropriate for night. lust remember that the less sheer a lip color is, the more “nighttime” your makeup will appear.

A3: I don’t like to wear a lot of makeup, but I want to look put-together. What are the basics I need to get by? Here’s a low-maintenance look; blend concealer to cover dark areas around the eyes and any skin discolorations like blemishes or redness. Then dust powder over face—no need for foundation in this routine. Apply blush to the apples of your cheeks, one coat of mascara to your lashes and a sheer gloss over lips—and you’re done!

A4: How can I make my pores smaller? Pore size is inherited, so there’s little you can do to make them smaller. Focus on taking care of your skin—keeping skin clear and smooth is key to flawless foundation coverage, which can help minimize the look of pore size, but not change it.

A5: I wear glasses. Are there rules about wearing eye shadow I should know? There aren’t special rules, but there are tricks that will help your eyes pop! With fingertips, apply and blend a neutral shadow from lid to just shy of the brow bone. Then for extra definition and a clean finish, curl lashes and apply one coat of dark waterproof mascara.

A6: What’s the best way to apply mascara? Place the brush at the base of your lashes and glide it evenly through to the tips, wiggling or “zigzagging” the brush to help separate and define. This will leave a smooth, even coating of mascara on your lashes.
