Mini Makeup Lesson

Stop piling on blush! Quinn says the most natural way to boost the radiance of pale, sallow, or just-plain-tired skin is to mix a dime-sized drop pf highlighting cream into your foundation. Most highlighters have a bit of pearly opalescence that make the skin look brighter. You can also tap a bit of the cream on after applying foundation. Best spots: Anywhere you have bones, such as the tops of the cheeks, just under the brows, and along the jaw.

To prevent undereye cover-up creasing, Quinn says to apply a rich eye cream both before and after your concealer. The moisturizing ingredients in an eye cream refresh the makeup and keep it from growing cake-y. Quinn recommends keeping your eye cream in your makeup bag, then lightly tapping it on over your makeup throughout the day.

Outfitted with a mirror, this eye cream can be used for touchups all day.

The secret to skin that looks even in tone—and nearly free of fine lines and pores? Applying foundation conservatively (a nickel-sized dollop for the whole face) and using the sheerest formula you can get away with, says Quinn. The heavier you apply your makeup, the more apt it is to sink into and emphasize any irregularities in texture.

This easy-to-blend foundation provides sheer coverage.
