17. Tweeze your brows right after you step out of the shower. Your pores are open, enabling the hairs to slide out when you pluck. Avoid brow shaping when your skin is most sensitive: first thing in the morning, after you've been outside in extremely hot or cold weather, or during your period, when your nerve endings are at their most sensitive, says Galvez.18. Carry a makeup touch-up kit with you wherever you go. Look for double-duty products, like a lip/cheek/eye cream or a two-ended product with mascara on one end and eyeliner on the other. Other good kit items include cotton balls soaked in makeup remover and then stored in a film canister, pressed powder, nail file, and lip gloss.
19. Check out your face in a small hand mirror in front of a window at least once a day. You'll catch a glimpse of any sun spots or wrinkles you need to cover up or facial hairs you need to pluck, makeup that's uneven, even long nose hairs, says Galvez. The natural sunlight makes the inspection more revealing.
20. Apply makeup in natural light. Even if this means bringing your makeup and a mirror into the living room. The light from a bulb is often a different shade from that of natural light, and rarely does a bulb-lit room have evenly distributed light. If you must do your work in a bulb-lit room, make sure you are using the correct wattage -- at least 60 watts for overhead lights and 25 watts for makeup mirrors.
21. Rub some olive oil on your bikini line to keep it soft and free of those unsightly red bumps. For best results, apply the olive oil to the area immediately after shaving.
22. For instantly fresh feet, spray your soles with chilled cologne or chilled peppermint or rose geranium herbal water. You can make your own by adding a couple of drops of the essential oils to a spray bottle of water and storing in the refrigerator.
23. To make eyes appear closer together, tweeze your brows on the outer edges and let them grow in closer toward the nose. To make your eyes appear farther apart, tweeze your brows to expand the open space above the nose, advises Gina Michele Bisignano, a model and beauty consultant in Los Angeles. "In other words," she says, "make the brows shorter."
24. Wait a few minutes after applying your daily moisturizer before starting on your makeup. If your moisturizer doesn't have time to penetrate your skin, your makeup may smear or go on unevenly.
