What is the correct way to apply mascara?
You may be tempted to go straight in with loads of product, but for the best lash look, Gray recommends starting little by little. “I like to take the wand and scrape the excess product off,” she says.” “I prefer to work in thinner layers and build up the lashes.”
Start from the bottom roof of the lashes and “wiggle” your way to the top. “Work on the other eye and allow that coat to dry before adding another layer. Depending on the product, I like about three to four coats of mascara.”

Make any lipstick matte
Matte lips are on trend at the moment, but what can you do if your favorite shade isn’t in a matte finish? Find a matte blush that is a similar shade then, using your finger, gently pat the powder blush onto your lips to create a beautiful matte finish.

Exfoliate your lips
No matter what color or finish of lipstick you are using, having smooth, hydrated lips is vital. When your lips are dry or flaky, the lip color doesn't last as long or look as uniform. Use our Sugar & Butter Lip Exfoliator to slough off any dead skin, leaving your lips smooth, supple, and ready for color.
