Eva Mendes‘ natural glow proves that you don’t need foundation to be flawless. Why conceal your sexiest features? Eva couldn’t agree more because she loves showing off her sexy signature beauty mark..(I don’t blame her, I love mine too!) The art of makeup is to look like you don’t have any on, right? So, why go overboard? The less makeup you use, the more youthful you will appear. I know what you are probably asking. What about my dark eye circles? And blemishes? Answer: Waterproof concealers. Find good ones that are rich in texture (Makeup Forever is AMAZE! Sephora $30.) This will get the job done—no foundation necessary.

If you do wear foundation, please stay away from purchasing at drug stores! The best foundations don’t come cheap but it’s worth the investment.  Bare Minerals– great if you love powder foundation ($60 for the kit). I currently use Laura Mercier’s oil-free liquid foundation ($48) and setting powder ($34) which lasts all day and gives you super natural coverage.  I probably wear foundation 1-2 times a week (if I have to) and so should you!

Blush: Eccentuate your cheekbones with pretty pinks. There are tricks and techniques to get the perfect cheekbone, but I’ll save that for another beauty post. Whatever you do, don’t go 80′s and over do it.
