Makeup Monday: Makeup tips from Eddie Reyes

Mix your concealer with a bit of eye cream. It blends better for a more smooth application.

Always wash your face with cold water. Hot water turns your face red from the warmth and can show red looking vessels. Take it an extra step before a date and rub an ice cube over your face before applying makeup. It minimizes the appearance of large pores.

Always test lipsticks on your fingertips first. They have the same blood vessels as the lips and will mimic how the color will look on you.

Keep a pearly shimmery gloss in your handbag. Apply it to the high plains of your cheek bone for a highlighted, dewy finish to your skin.

Use a damp sponge and press it over your makeup when done. It removes excess product that can crease or settle into lines.
