Linda Wells' Three Insider Beauty Tips

Last night, we interviewed Allure's editor-in-chief, Linda Wells, at Sephora on Fifth Ave while she was meeting fans and autographing the new Allure Beauty Editor Palette. Here are her personal tips gleaned from the industry's hottest makeup artists while working backstage. We're happy to report anyone can do them, they don't require hours or extra products, and yes, they will change your life.

1) Use concealer on the very inner corners of your eyes. It's where most people have darkness, but forget to apply. It makes a big difference!

2) Wiggle the wand from your mascara back and forth at the base of your lashes so it acts like a liner. (We tried this and bonus, it made our lashes look thicker too.)


3) After you apply your foundation, take a two-ply tissue and separate it so you just have one layer. Use it to blot over your face—this makes your foundation look like your natural skin, not foundation.
