One. Skip the full-coverage foundation, okay" Go for something medium, perhaps with a bit of radiance to it (aka not matte). I have loved Armani Luminous Silk Foundation for years and highly recommend it!

Two. Don’t skip lipstick or lip balm with a little color. Even if you aren’t a lipstick gal, finding a lip balm with even a hint of color will go a long way in photos. I have always loved the Fresh lip treatment in Rose. It feels and looks like a balm but adds a super natural-looking wash of color to the lips.

Three. Kick the blush up a notch! And try the red blush trend that is going around right now. The theory is that it’s the most natural-looking blush option for a realistic flush! RMS Beauty’s founder is the originator of this trend, but I tried the Milk Lip to Cheek in Flip and loved it.
Four. Wear bronzer! Everyone looks great with a little glow to their skin and bronzer is the way to do it. Just don’t forget to bring some of the bronzer down onto your neck!
