For soft shiny hair, apply deep conditioner from your ears down. Then, put on a shower cap and exfoliate your whole body or shave your legs. When you’re finished, rinse the conditioner out with cool water.

Apply cream blush with a brush that has a blend of synthetic and natural hair. It’s the best way to get cream blush to go on evenly. I recommend MAC Duo Fibre Brush for best results.

Tap—don’t rub— concealer onto a pimple. This will actually cover up the pimple rather than blending the product around it.

Line your upper inner eyelids with a skinny black pencil. This trick comes straight from celeb makeup artist Mally Roncal (she works with Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez). It makes your eyes really stand out.

After blow drying, while your hair is still warm, flip your head over and twirl your hair into a tight bun. Secure it with a soft scrunchie or a jaw clip. Then, do your makeup and get dressed. Undo the bun right before you walk out of the house and you’ll have sexy S-shaped waves.

Give your skin a pretty glow by adding a drop of liquid shimmer to your tinted moisturizer. Blend it everywhere but your T-zone (you don’t want your forehead, nose, and chin to look shiny).
