Makeup tricks to brighten tired and aging skin.
A question I took from a reader via my Facebook page (thanks bunches Andrea!) was about how she could perk up aging skin with makeup.  And I’ll be honest, that was a LOADED question! Ha!!  I have SO many opinions on this one:)   So I tried to condense it into a few practices and products you could implement to rewind that clock! You don’t have to use ALL of them, but at least add some of them into your daily routine to bring youthful skin back…

have a good moisturizer you are using day and night. EVEN if you have oily skin!! That oil isn’t actually hydrating and it’s not anti-aging your skin at all!
add a skin primer into your makeup routine – after your moisturizer but before your foundation. This helps to fill in any pesky fine line...
