Concealer is definitely our best friend especially when we have uncountable sleepless nights. Dot the concealer under your eyes to erase dark circles, around your nose to get rid of redness and on any spots or blemishes you’d like to cover. Blend in with your fingers and the product should melt into your skin. Because concealer is of a thicker formula, a little goes a long way. Definitely an essential!

Keep the shine at bay with some trusty powder! Try sticking to translucent powders to keep your skin as natural as possible. Dust the powder on your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) to reduce oil. Also, apply powder on the areas where you blended in your concealer to set the liquid product in place so that it doesn’t move around throughout the day.

Brows can either make or break your look. Eyebrows frame your face and immediately make you look put together once drawn in. For a natural look, follow your natural brow shape and just fill in the sparse area. But if you want to take it up a notch and achieve the Cara Delevingne brows, draw a defined arch and thicken your brows with hair-like strokes.
