With Dry Skin:
  When taking bridal pictures or headshots, do not exfoliate your skin the day before. Your skin will look reddish & blotchy. Give yourself at least 3 days to allow your skin cells to regenerate and give a healthy glow to your face. I love Origin's "Never A Dull Moment" Exfoliant with honey & apricot seeds.
   
When Applying Concealer:
  Being as it's the most difficult product to make seem "natural," always use a medium-heavy weight eye cream under your concealer so the two mix together, hydrating your undereye area completely. This way, you can cover it without it drying & settling into those pesky fine lines. I adore Jo Malone's Eye Cream with green tea & honey.
   
If You're Bored with Your Look:
  Someone may have fed you the myth that your look is a "seasonal" one. Not true! If the skin looks beautiful, almost any color in the world can look good. If you're a Redhead, learn to explore with heather-greys & lilacs on eyes (try Bobbi Brown's "Heather" eye shadow). If Latina, look for Peach or Apricot tones on cheeks & ice blue on the eyes (try Nars' "Exhibit A" Powder blush & Benefit's "Snow Job" on the eyes). And if you're very fair-skinned, find a ruby-hued cream blush (try "Wild Orchid" cream blush from Becca).
