3 Easy Makeup Tips For Maturing Skin From A Top Pro

And one of the main takeaways she tries to share with her clients? Don't get too caught up in arbitrary, overly strict rules: "Beauty is about moderation. I've never subscribed to the 'you shoulds' & 'you musts,'" she says. So in the spirit of that, take these quotes as informed suggestions and fold them into your routine however works best for you. Because ultimately, makeup is just about making you feel good.

For Patinkin, brightening up the face is the easiest and most efficient way to make your skin look instantly healthy. "Any sort of product that evens out the tone of your skin and helps it look brighter is an important product to have in your kit. It could be concealer, tinted moisturizer, tinted sunscreen, or a full-coverage foundation. It doesn't matter," she says. "I always tell people, things like freckles, scars, or fine lines, none of those things need to be covered up—but brightness in the skin is something that always makes you look healthy." 

It's all in the details, as they say. "There's usually one product or one step in your beauty routine that changes the game. For me personally, pretty much every day I wear a smudgy eyeliner. That's the detail I like. But it's different for everybody," she says. "For some people, it's filling and shaping your brows. For others, it's putting on a little blush or a pop of color on the lips. It doesn't matter, but most people have one step that just changes how they feel." Once you find that thing that makes you feel more like you? Embrace it and have fun.
