createthislookforlessxHey! I love your posts!! I was wondering how to use bronzer and what kind I should get. I have rather fair skin but it's a little tan from the summer. And what brush should I use to apply the bronzer? Thanks!!
What is your favorite concealer? Right now I am using Eve Pearl Magic Salmon concealer but I find it gets creasy under the eyes. I have many different concealers I use in my kit but i am trying to find the perfect concealer for me. Any suggestions?

If your eyes look tired apply concealer or a light shimmer shadow to the inner corners of your eyes and under lower lashline.
Prevent “bleeding” lipstick by applying a lip primer or concealer around the outside of your mouth.
Tip from Glamour Magazine (November 2011 issue)
Dot and blend illuminating concealer under your eyes to erase circles, but no lighter than your skin or it’ll be raccoonville.
