A touch of blush on the apples of your cheeks can give you a healthful, well-rested appearance (even if you're reaching for the Red Bull). But all too often, it’s the first thing to rub off as soon as you get outside. You don’t want to pile it on and end up with scary clown cheeks.

The Perfect Warm-Weather Concealer

When the weather warms up, facial oils are often released, and foundations and powders can easily slide off. And who wants heavy make-up face, anyway? Chanel’s Quick Cover Concealer or Nars concealer enriched with Vitamin E evens out skin tone in a mere fraction of the time that foundation does. Just dab on any discolored spots, like those dreadful dark circles under and around your eyes, the pesky acne scars on your nose, chin, or cheeks, or wherever, and blend well. Top with some subtle bronzer or blush, and you’re all set for the day!

To make these sexy curls, you have to apply heat to long hair. And according Javier Oropeza of Sterling Salon in Studio City, California, you can apply heat in two different ways: Hot rollers or a curling iron. Oropeza says a curling iron is the better bet for people who already have a little wave and layers in their hair.

Step 1: Wash and dry your hair.

Step 2: Apply a volumizer for curls, such as Barex Mousse or Barex Re-define Creme on damp hair to keep curls intact.
