Step one: Conceal.
Cheeks: “No” Makeup
Fake a just-jogged-on-the-beach radiance with a combo of blush and bronzer.
“The pairing mimics the elementswind and sunto give you an outdoorsy flush,” Denno says.
Swirl a cream blush like Make Up For Ever HD Blush, $26, onto moisturized cheeks.
That was the wind.
Now the sun: Dust matte powder bronzer on tops of cheeks and across forehead and eyelids.
A compact with a mix of shades is the most believable, since skin is multitone.
Buff with a washcloth or cleansing brush like a Clarisonic three times weekly when you wash your face.
Color Magic:The lilac in the Aerin Kaleidolight Palette, $70, cancels sallowness.
Lightly fill with liner, then balm again to diffuse.
Rub the liquid into lips for one minute or until absorbed.
Mouth Off:A wax-based balm, rather than an oil or petroleum one, gives a muted finish.
Try Eve Lom Kiss Mix, $22.
For lip liner, we’re into BareMinerals Moxie Lipliner in Exhilarated, $15.
Lashes: “No” Makeup
Babies and boys always have the best lashes.
A lash curlerbesides curling, obviouslylines up hairs so they appear thicker without tons of mascara.
Finish with two coats max of a lengthening mascara; it’s less likely to clump.
Lash Enhancer
Swipe your face moisturizer along clean lashes from roots to tips nightly.
Lashes are hairs and can be conditioned and strengthened, too.
(Check out the palette on the next page to nail your shade.)
Roll the cloth around closed, product-free eyes for one minute.
“Egg protein decreases inflammation,” Wong says, “helping to minimize dark circles.”
Brownie Points:Fair?
Pick a champagne; medium, a gold; dark, a cocoa.
Jane Iredale PurePressed Eye Shadow Triple in Golden Girl, $28.
Shop for a skinny, pointy brow pencil to sketch the most realistic-looking hairs.
Lightly fill in brows, beginning at outer corners, following the arch and stopping where brows are fuller.
Sweep hairs up and out toward temples with a spoolie brush to polish.
Brow Enhancer
Apply a moisture mask for full, glossy brows, Wong says.
