Escape a Skin Care Rut


Your skin changes over time, thanks to season, hormones, and your general health. Likewise, step up your skin care if you're seeing unwelcome changes — laugh lines and age spots, we're looking at you!
There's another reason to shake up your skin-care routine: Thanks to scientific breakthroughs, many over-the-counter skin care products (and their delivery methods) have become safer, stronger, and more effective, says Dr. Wu.
Separate the makeup into three piles: makeup that you never wear; makeup that's broken, has turned color or smells bad; and makeup that you do wear.
Skin
Before you do your makeup, focus on your skin. Before applying makeup, cleanse and moisturize with the right formulas for your skin's needs. For the most natural look, choose yellow-based shades of concealer, foundation and powder. To lighten dark circles, apply concealer under the eye, up to the lash line, and on the innermost corner of the eye using the concealer brush. For full, all-over coverage, use a foundation brush to apply and blend foundation.
Powder
For crease-free, long-wear makeup, apply loose powder in pale yellow over concealer using an eye blender brush or mini powder puff. Lipstick/lip gloss
Start with clean, smooth lips. Lip liner
For natural-looking definition and to keep color from feathering, line lips with lip liner after applying lip color. Define brows using eye shadow (match it to your hair color) applied with an eye brow brush. Eye shadow
Sweep a light eye shadow color from lash line to brow bone using an eye shadow brush. Dust a medium eye shadow color on the lower lid, up to the crease, using an eye shadow brush. Eye liner
Line upper lash line with a dark eye shadow color applied with an eye liner brush. If you choose to curl lashes, be sure to do this before applying mascara; curling lashes after mascara makes them more prone to breakage.
