Your Personal Makeup Artist Make Up Tips, Tricks, and Techniques from Professional Make Up Artists

You don't necessarily have to be a Desperate Housewife to look like Teri Hatcher, but you can easily achieve her radiant beauty within a few simple steps:

• Teri does believe that less is more when it comes to her makeup, and if you are in your 40s, then wearing less foundation will make your skin look much fresher. It is helpful to use a lightweight liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer for a glowing look to your skin.

• Use brown shimmer or copper eyeshadow to make your deep brown eyes stand out, and also apply a brown mascara for a more natural look.

• For your luscious lips, apply a neutral lip liner to keep your lip color from bleeding, and then apply a nude pink lip color with a lip brush. It is always helpful to apply your lip color with a lip brush so that it looks more natural. To look even more gorgeous, we do not recommend going with a matte finish for your lip color, but instead adding a sheer or colored gloss over your lip color for a subtle shine.

• Finished with a cream or gel blush that you can blend with your fingertips into the apples of your cheeks. This will create a much less harsh look, and it will also offer a dewy glow to your complexion. You can also optionally dust bronzer all over your face, and make sure to blend it well for a naturally sun kissed look. Gorgeous!
