A makeup tip I just learned while watching the Wendy Williams show last week is to set your blush in powder so it stays on all day. First apply cream blush to your cheeks then set the blush with a powder blush and your blush will not disappear by the end of the day. I thought it was a good tip so I wanted to pass it along.

Have you ever gone to a nightclub and seen women who have a beautiful golden skin and wonder how did they do that? I’m here to tell you its all about the bronzer you use and where you place it on your skin. I recently went to my local M.A.C counter and picked up mineralize skin finish in “gold deposit” it’s not cheap but worth every penny of $27.00. I used to use M.A.C’s sheertone shimmer blush in “trace gold” it was great when I first brought it 2 years ago but I wanted more shimmer and it did not give me the right amount of the golden kissed skin I wanted. I’m the type of person who likes to go out with my girlfriends and take a lot of pictures through out the night and the gold deposit illuminates my face. The trick is to place the gold deposit down the bridge of your nose, on your cheeks (under your blush),chin and a bit on your forehead.

You have heard of the trick (everywhere the sun hits your face). Be careful because it’s very easy to over do it so start off with a little then layer if needed. It looks great on olive all the way to deep dark skin tones. Another tip if your collarbones are showing in your top at night apply a bit of gold deposit on to them its creates a fabulous glow.

To make small eyes look bigger use white eyeliner on the lower water lash-line; makeup artist have been doing this trick for years. You don’t have to have small eyes to try this trick either, it also makes you look more awake. Tyra Banks makeup artist for the Victoria’s secret fashion show did this look on her. Maybe she was tired that day.

To keep eyeshadow from creasing or fading use an eyelid primer such as urban decay eyeshadow primer potion which is my favorite if you have oily skin or eyelids this will work the best. There is also sephora brand name eye primer pot or too faced shadow insurance anti-crease eye shadow primer. All primers will make the pigment in the eye shadow pop more. You can get a very dramatic look if you use a primer before you do a smokey eye as Beyonce did for her promotion pictures for her 2006 CD release of B-day.
