Beauty Muse Daily Tip: Mix Masters

A clear complexions secret weapon is concealer, yet many of us are unaware or unsure of what colours to use and where. One thing worth remembering is to not be afraid to mix them: no one colour will perfectly match everyone's skin tone, and not every area on our faces is all necessarily the exact colour. Mixing concealers together is great to achieve lighter or darker coverage or help get that perfect colour combination to eliminate that dreadful under eye baggage we all (unfortunately) have.

More Cover, Less Cake

Want the coverage without the cakiness? TEMPTU Undereye Concealer ($28, sephora.com) is your go-to cover-up. This innovative concealer is infused with reflective diamond dust and anti-aging vitamins, to help reduce and improve tired looking eyes and fine lines. The reflective diamond dust effectively diffuses the appearance of lines, dark circles, and any discolouration on the skin to leave you with radiant, flawless skin. With Vitamins A, C, E, and K working alongside cucumber and aloe, they provide a ton of moisture, allowing for smooth, delicate and revived skin.

Beauty Muse Daily Tip: Get the True Hue

When women are seeking out to buy the perfect lipstick, more often than not, we tend to try the colour on the back of our hand. However, what we don't necessarily realize is that the natural colour of our hands and lips are extremely different and therefore, when we arrive home to apply the colour on our lips, it looks different. This is when the hair-pulling, yelling or even stomping may commence, but before we lose our luscious locks, try this: conceal your lips first. With either a concealer or foundation, apply a thin layer over your lips to neutralize your lip colour and cancel out any natural colour on your lips. The lipstick shade will no longer mix with our natural lip colour, and therefore, will translate exactly how you expected it to in the department store. Also, it acts as a primer so the pigment lasts twice as long.

Ticking Time Balm

This portable pot of exceptionally smooth & blendable anti-wrinkle concealer easily masks dark circles and imperfections and protects your delicate eye area from environmental stresses. TimeBalm Concealer by the Balm ($18, sephora.com) is packed with beneficial ingredients like vitamins A, C, and E, soybean oil, panthenol, linoleic acid and phospholipids to help you look stunning around the clock. It is great for daytime, nighttime, or even bedtime-- so you wake up looking fabulously fresh. TimeBalm even includes a handy sponge that fits neatly into the pot for go-anywhere touch-ups, or dot on with fingertips for easy application.

Beauty Muse Tip: apply concealer either off the back of your hand (think art palette) or with your fingers; the warmth from our bodies allows the make-up to blend easily.
