Whether you're sleep-deprived from date night or a screaming newborn, there's no reason you should look overtired! We have two words for you: white eyeliner. To instantly look radiant and wide-awake, use a pale pencil to line the inner rim of your bottom lid from the inner to outer corner (celeb makeup artists have used this trick for years to perk up hungover supermodels and celebs). Fair to medium-skinned girls should use a white or pearly-hued pencil, and dark-skinned women should try a beige or peach pencil. Essence recommends Sephora Collection Nano Eyeliner in Pure White or Pure Beige ($5, each).
Pro tip: For an extra boost of radiance, blend the pencil just under the arch of your brow, too.
Dewy skin is super-sexy, but sweaty skin? Not so much. Settle slick skin with a silicone based product instead of a powder formula, which can leave skin looking dull and worn. Mally Beauty's Poreless Defender is a groundbreaking gel mattifyer that eliminates shine, hides fine lines and comes with a buffed Japanese sponge for easy application --plus it was created by fabulous celeb makeup artist Mally Roncal -- who counts Mary J. Blige, Beyonce and Rihanna among her devotees.
Mally Beauty Poreless Face Defender, $40, available at mallybeauty.com or qvc.com
Every so often, an "it-ingredient" rears its gorgeous head, popping up in every beauty product under the sun. Right now, the pomegranate is having a moment--and it's not hard to see why! This delicious-tasting, bright red fruit is chock full of antioxidants, making it a great resource for protecting skin, hair, and body from environmental damage. Plus, the super-moisturizing fruit extract helps boost collagen production and evens skin tone (hence, it's popularity in body lotions and skincare!). From lip balms to shampoo, here are our favorite pomegranate-spiked products on the shelves.
