"Apply a sheer foundation all over and only conceal where you have blemishes or dark areas under your eyes," suggests makeup artist Kristofer Buckle. "Set it with a loose powder to give the look staying power."

"If you want to have a glowier look, add some illuminator to upper cheekbones down bridge of nose. Don’t dust it all over! Placing shine on the tallest parts of your face creates a cleaner look that will photograph well. Don’t forget to add a bit of sheen to your exposed shoulders and legs."

"Curling lashes and applying several coats of a thickening mascara on your top lashes adds drama. If your lashes need extra help, apply false lashes on just the outer corners of your eyes."

"Shiny shadows can look less clean, so keep it simple and go for a matte look. Matte eyeshadow helps add a contour to the eye, where sparkly and shiny shadows reflect light and can magnify texture."
