• To get gorgeous, glowing natural skin without looking dewy all over, apply shimmer only on cheekbones and at the inner corners of your eyes. -- Pat McGrath, makeup artist

• For natural, youthful looking skin, apply foundation to the center of the face and blend outward. Always use powder sparingly, and to conceal or brighten dark circles, select a concealer with a pink undertone then gently pat it on. -- Jane McKay, makeup artist for MAC

• In general, creamy makeup needs touchups because it settles into the creases of skin. Matte makeup tends to stay longer. -- Jane McKay, makeup artist for MAC

• . "Mist Evian water on the face after moisturizing, but before applying foundation. This gives skin a moist and youthful quality, while helping to increase the wear of your makeup." Linda Cantello, make up artist for YSL and head of her own cosmetics line. (We also love MAC Fix + spray!)

• Every face has natural shadows, and you'll look better if you brighten them, says makeup artist for Kevin Aucoin beauty, Craig Jessup. To find the shadowy areas , he says, just smile at yourself in the mirror. "You'll see darker areas - like your Cupid's bow, under your bottom lip and at the inner corners of your eyes." Lighten those areas by dabbing on a shimmery eye – shadow and blend well. Voila!
