Mother's Day Make Up Tips from make-up artist Jake Baily

I don't know about you but I am always looking for great tips on how to make my make-up look the best. So, I thought I would share these great tips!

This Mother’s Day, take the time to pamper yourself for a change! Celebrity make‐up artist Jake Bailey has teamed up with COVERGIRL to offer the following quick and easy tips for looking redcarpet‐ready, even if just to enjoy a little “mommy me‐time”with breakfast in bed!

All About the Eyes

 For moms on‐the‐go, an eyelash curler and healthy coat of rich, black mascara is all you need for a clean daytime look. Curling lashes opens the eyes, and applying mascara close to the base will define the lashline and really accentuate your eyes. Pluck any stray eyebrow hairs, and use a clear mascara or brow gel to keep unruly hairs from straying.

Hip Lips Look Light & Bright

 Forget too‐dark reds and the same old nude –rosy shades are the most universally flattering for spring. Bright pinks work best on pale skin, and corals do wonders for olive‐toned complexions. For a flawless application, use a lip scrub to remove any dead skin, leaving behind a smooth surface. Apply lipstick directly from the tube, and refine corners and edges using a lip brush or lip liner of the same color.

Fake Flawless Skin with the Right Foundation

 For the most natural look and fastest application, use your fingers to gently blend a small amount of foundation over problem‐prone areas –cheeks, nose and forehead –where pores and redness can appear. For more coverage, use a foundation brush to apply, and gently press a sponge over heavier spots to absorb excess. One of my favorite products is COVERGIRL & Olay Simply Ageless foundation. It’ super easy to use, and anti‐aging ingredients won’ settle into fine lines or wrinkles (a common concern for my clients) so the result is a polished look that lasts all day. Perfect for moms with a short supply of time for make‐up, there’ no need to powder, and sunscreen is built right in (SPF 22).

Pass up the Powder

  

Cream blushes are a quick and simple way to achieve a

bright and healthy‐looking complexion. Again, I recommend using your

fingertips to blend a tiny bit onto the apples of your cheeks. COVERGIRL & Olay’

Simply Ageless line has a sculpting blush that helps contour cheekbones, and

since it’ the same texture as the foundation, it won’ disturb coverage and blends

seamlessly. For extra glamour, use a soft‐bristled brush to swirl the color onto

the apples of cheeks and back toward the cheekbone for an airbrushed look.
