9 Uses for Your BeautyBlender That Have Nothing to Do with Foundation

Apply skin care with extra benefits. 

"I love using a beautyblender to apply skin care," says celebrity makeup artist Michael Patterson. "The shape is perfect for reaching all the tight areas of the face without pulling and tugging on the skin." (This is another situation where you'll need a separate sponge.) Even better, the beautyblender actually has a cooling effect, which when mixed with your skin care products, can help depuff in the a.m. "Use a bouncing motion to push your lotions and potions into the face; the pointed tip is perfect for precision application of eye cream," Patterson explains. "Start by stippling at the tear duct and working in, down and out."

Expert Tips on How to Get Your Best Brows With Makeup

Celebrity makeup artist Michael Patterson says though we might not think about it, two brow pencils are always better than one, and that creating a naturally full and dimensional brow begins by layering pencils. “Choose a pencil with a shade closest to your hair color and one slightly darker. Apply the lighter shade by using small, light pressured ‘hair-like’ strokes, following the direction of hair growth,” Patterson adds, explaining that this technique will create volume. “Switch to the deeper shade and use the same technique, this time focusing more toward the middle and tail of the brow for added definition.” Patterson's favorite: MAC Cosmetics Eye Brows Pencil ($17) "for the best precision and color range.”

Makeup Artists Sound Off the Most Flattering Ways to Wear Rose Gold Makeup

Start With Foundation
As counter intuitive at it may sound, celebrity makeup artist Michael Patterson says creating the perfect summer glow starts by infusing a copper or rose gold pigment into your foundation. "I love MAC Cosmetics' Tan Pigment ($22) for a universal shade that fits most skin tones. Start by buffing a sheer veil of foundation onto the face. Next, add a small amount of pigment (less is more!) into the foundation and mix together thoroughly. Buff this mixture onto the cheekbones, bridge of the nose, forehead, cupid's bow and chin. This will give a subtle ‘glow from within’ that's perfect for the summer months.”

Gild Your Pout
“Metallic lips are trending, and a rose gold shadow is the perfect way to punch up that pout," says Patterson. "Apply your favorite nude lipstick and blot with a tissue. Grab a rose gold eye shadow and use a fluffy brush to buff the color onto your lips, starting in the center and gently working outward to create a long-lasting and edgy metallic lip." His favorite: ColourPop's Super Shock Shadow ($5) in Weenie. "The creamy consistency works perfectly on top of traditional or liquid lipsticks.”
