Goof proof your Makeup

Flipping through trashy magazines at the gym I saw a picture of Eva Longoria , her normally beautiful face was masked behind a ton of not blended concealer. Who can forget Nicole Kidman walking the red carpet with a face full of powder? Got me thinking that celebrities really are just like us!!! Makeup that is not blended properly, or the wrong tone or just to darn much of it can be a gaffe.Being told you have lipstick on the teeth ring a bell?

I asked my dear Friend Lisa who is a Hollywood makeup artist what are some easy fixes for common makeup mistakes, here are a few suggestions and also a list of my fav products that really help in a pinch.

Mistake 1) The "Eva" wrong shade of concealer. This is one of the most common makeup boo boos and yet it has such an easy fix.  Buy a different concealer...no seriously! Buy a concealer palette. What a palette offers is multiple colors in your same skin tone so you can create your perfect shade. The Palette I use is Bobbi Brown (former makeup artist..current makeup goddess) in honey new $34.99.

Mistake 2) The" Nicole" Visible powder. Weather you use pressed or loose powder if you can see it ,you are using it wrong. The problem with most  powders is they sit on skin instead of blending into it.If you are using powder to cut down on shine you should try using an Anti -Shine. An Anti-Shine is a colorless oil absorber you can wear it with or without foundation. I use Smash box compact anti-shine $28.00. 

If you use powder to cover imperfections try using a foundation/powder combo like MAC Studio Fix plus foundation 26.00. Studio fix is great because it has a touch of liquid concealer so it goes on smooth.

Mistake 3 the "Every women" lipstick on the teeth. Easiest fix of them all after you put on your lipstick/ lip gloss on open your mouth put index finger in your mouth and pull out, this will remove any lipstick from the inside of your lips and keep it from getting on your teeth.
