Tips by Kevyn Aucoin

If you spot someone with a super hair cut, outfir, or make up stop her and ask about it, chances are she'll be flattered & you'll learn something.

In summer keep your perfume in the refrigerator. As you are rushing out the door, dab on a refreshing scent.

Creme foundation can create the look of having a milky complection.

If our foundation formula is too oily, try adding a few drops of astringent. This will make the foundation a bit sheerer, but does cut down on the oiliness.

A little foundation on the eyelid, blended well and followed by loose poweder creatles a smooth surface for powder shadow to glide on, making the application last longer and blending easier.

When you use foundation all over the face, be sure to blend into your jawline & slightly onto the neck. Otherwise you'll have a distinct line between the face and you'll look like your have a mask on.
