5. Layering your foundation.
“Adding extra layers of foundation will only make your skin problems more apparent, according to experts. A great look begins with great skin,” says Chicago celebrity makeup artist Shoenice.
To achieve that dewy, glowing look at home, exfoliate your skin.
“A quick, cheap, and easy way to exfoliate is to put a teaspoon of sugar into whatever soap you’re using on your face,” Shoenice advises. “The glucose in sugar is a natural exfoliator, it’s not gritty and grainy and it won’t tear you skin. Use this method three times a week, and I assure you that you will get the glow naturally.” Moisturizer is also a necessity, even if you have oily skin. “Keep your skin moisturized and you can find a great lightweight moisturizer by Aveda that any woman can use,” Shoenice adds. “But these products won’t look great if you don’t take care of your skin first.”
