1) Firm and Tighten:
Skin will immediately feel more taut after you peel off GlamGlow GravityMud Firming Treatment ($69), a rubbery silver mask. "As the water in the formula evaporates, the polymers inside leave an invisible film that shrink-wraps the skin," explains New York dermatologist Whitney Bowe. "The polymers are connected to one another like a basket weave, so as it gets drier, the weave gets tighter." The Spanx-like effect lasts a few hours, making this mask the perfect addition to a pre-party routine
2) Look Fresh:
Clarisonic Mia Fit ($189) cleans out pores completely in less than two minutes. "Clarisonic works by oscillating at such a rapid pace that you gently flex the pores and whatever is in them comes out," says Bowe. "Those little blackhead-like dots go away, and the pores appear to shrink." Plus it's excellent at removing dulling dirt. This new compact design also features Power Cleanse and Delicate Cleanse speeds to match your skin needs.
3. Brighten Up:
Get a pretty, subtle flush with a few spritzes of these smart aerosol blushes. Sephora Collection Perfection Mist Blush ($20) "leaves you with that angelic, kid-like rosiness," says makeup artist Beau Nelson, who suggests applying in three short-burst sprays, pointed toward the apples of your cheeks and moving farther from the face each time. "The diameter of the spray is small, so it's easy to control where the color goes." And the diffused edges means no blending is required. The four shades range from peach to bright pink. We like Rose Without Thorns.
4) Get Younger-Looking Eyes:
Estée Lauder New Dimension Firm + Fill Eye System ($79) tightens bags and hides fine lines. The first step of this two-part treatment product is a gel that leaves an invisible coat of a firming polymer. "Apply liberally around your eyes—upper lids, lower lids, and crow's-feet," says cosmetic chemist Ni'Kita Wilson. Be stingy with the second step: a cream with silicas and powder beads that fill in lines. "Dab only on the crow's-feet and the lines below the eyes," recommends Wilson. "It's like spackle."
5) Go For The Glow:
Laura Mercier Candleglow Soft Luminous Foundation ($48) "is great for youthful illumination," enthuses Nelson, who explains that the coverage is just a little more than a tinted moisturizer. "It makes you look healthy and glowy, but not disco." While moisturizing ingredients provide hydration for a more dewy complexion, the pearlized mica also gives a lit-from-within look. For those with oily skin, apply only to cheeks, under your eyes, and around your mouth for a flattering radiance. Bonus: It comes in 24 shades.
6) Even Tone:
When Hylamide Photography Foundation ($20), a transparent, serum-y makeup, glides onto skin, redness disappears. Titanium dioxide and tone correctors counter-balance ruddiness, while light-diffusing mica and silica disguise other little imperfections, says Nelson. You can use it as a primer under your foundation or alone for a polished, no-makeup makeup look. Women with medium to dark skin tones will love the two tinted versions
7) Blur Large Pores:
Benefit the Porefessional Matte Rescue primer ($28) is ideal for women with oily skin and large pores: The mushroom extract dials down sebum production, while the diamond powder lends a blurring effect. After your morning skin care, massage an edamame-size amount across your whole face, says Nelson. If you have combination skin, spot-apply it to oily areas like the T-zone to fight shine. While the bluish tint of the formula is undetectable once blended in, it can help your complexion look just a bit brighter.
