7 Easy Steps For A Smooth Skin Look

There is a method to the madness a woman does every morning as she fixes her face for make-up.  I call it my 7 Easy Steps for a smooth skin look. I have oily skin specifically in my T-zone area, and a bit ruddy in skin tone with a few age spots. I am thankful that having avoided the sun since my 30's have given me relatively few wrinkles which can easily be concealed. I have long experimented with a lot of ways on how to make my face look smoother (but not too made-up), and I find that these 7 steps does work for me, especially now that I have older skin. I hope it does for any woman at any age too.

7 Makeup Tools Every Woman Should Have

I was always fascinated with makeup ever since I was little. My mother was a powder and lipstick kind of girl, but my father had cousins who would take hours doing their hair and makeup before they go out.  I used to watch them when I go to my grandparents' house every weekend and would practice at home using whatever left-over make-up they gave me.  You can just imagine the hilarious results and how annoyed my mother was.  I became quite adept doing eye makeup for elementary and high school presentations (the only time I was allowed to do so), but I noticed that the colors did not blend well.  I did not know then that there were different makeup tools needed for application and blending.  All I had were small sponge applicators that came with the eyeshadows. It was much later in my adult life that I learned that there were different brushes and sponges for every kind of makeup product.  Today, there are so many in the market that one has to know the differences between each one.  Unfortunately, not all makeup tools (and products for that matter) are made equal.
