Apply soothing products before shaving
With the Art of Shaving Pre-Shave Oil, men can prepare their skin for a close shave. This oil is ideal for men who have sensitive skin or thick beards, as well as men who are prone to ingrown hairs or razor burn. The blend of botanical ingredients and oils will help prevent irritation.

Shave with sharp blades
Both men and women should always use sharp blades when shaving. Dull blades frequently cause razor burn because they are more likely to nick the skin and cause hair to curl back into the follicle. Changing the blade frequently can help to decrease blemishes caused by shaving.

Move the razor in the appropriate direction
In order to prevent irritation, Men-U recommends that men shave in the direction their beard grows. Begin with the sides of the face and continue to the mustache area.

Don't overdo it
The phrase, "a little goes a long way," can apply to many aspects of life, including how men shave. More than one pass at an area can result in razor burn. While a clean shave is important, men need to have a gentle touch.

Cleanse the face
Layers of skin are often removed during the shaving process. The skin is in a sensitive state after shaving. It's important to wash the face with water and use a facial cleanser to protect the area.

By following these simple steps, those annoying red bumps can be a thing of your past!

With the right tools, you may be able to get the professional look you've always wanted.

Primer
Eye primer is an important product to use before applying other makeup. Primer helps ensure that eye shadow stays on and also prevents it from creasing. With Jane Iredale Lid Primer you can keep eye shadow from absorbing into oily lids. This primer doubles as a shadow and allows the lids to shimmer. A hydrated silica controls the oil.

Wipes
Even the most experienced makeup artists make mistakes every now and then. When you have a long day at work or an unexpected smudge, you may want to carry wipes in your purse just in case. Baby wipes are gentle and can remove product with ease.

Mascara
A quick and easy swipe of this product and your eyes will look more beautiful in no time.

Concealer
Even the most gorgeous supermodels have blemishes or dark circles that need to be covered up. To get the most out of concealer, avoid fiddling with any acne you may have.

"Don't pick blemishes before. It only makes them harder to conceal," Jenna Menard, a New York City makeup artist, told Real Simple. 

With Jane Iredale Enlighten Concealer, you can neutralize the color of circles or blemishes around the eyes. Apply this product before foundation, and you'll be on the way to the flawless complexion you've always wanted.

Want to sport red lipstick? Great! Just let the statement stop there. No matter how much you're tempted there's absolutely no need for eye-catching blush, eyeshadow or mascara.

Glamour recently lauded Amber Heard for her superb execution of this look. From afar, the starlet's eyes appeared to have a soft glow, keeping the focus on the statement red lipstick. A closer view revealed that she was wearing a beige-pink eyeshadow that had just enough color to light up her eyes.

To apply a similar shade, you can use the Jane Iredale Small Fluff Brush to carefully dust the inside corner of your eyes and avoid accidentally over-applying. You'll be ready for date night – and an excuse to rock red lipstick – in no time. 

Stay hydrated
Drinking water throughout the day benefits your body for many reasons. About eight to 10 glasses of water a day are recommended to help the skin stay soft and supple.

Drink green tea
Green tea has been known to improve people's complexion. The beverage has a documented ability to rejuvenate  sun damaged skin. Certain compounds in green tea may also help prevent collagen destruction that leads to wrinkles, reports Real Simple.

"If your complexion is red or blotchy, this tea's anti-inflammatory properties can be soothing. Iced is best because hot beverages can worsen redness," Andrea Cambio, a dermatologist, told the source.

Eat healthy
Eating a well-balanced diet can improve the look of your skin. Foods that contain vitamins A and E may help promote healthy skin. Add some carrots, broccoli, sweet potatoes and almonds to your diet and you'll consume high levels of both nutrients.

Relax

Stress can tire out almost every part of your body, cause you to lose sleep and make you feel uneasy. Some people don't realize that stress can also be damaging to the skin. A study conducted by Stanford University showed that with exam pressures, many students had breakouts or skin flare ups. Stress increases the amount of oil producing hormones. Although life can seem overwhelming at times, it's important to remain calm and participate in relaxing activities that eliminate feelings of anxiety.

Moisturize
Moisturizing your face is an important part of a healthy skincare regimen. During the winter months this practice is essential. To avoid dry and cracked skin, you should use lotion daily.

Use Dermalogica Super Rich Repair on your skin in the evenings. This product helps improve dry, dehydrated and prematurely-aging skin. It contains powerful peptides that help stimulate collagen production.

You can have the skin you've dreamed of by keeping these simple tips in mind.

Keep it simple
The actress likes to keep her skincare regimen relatively low maintenance. She uses sunblock and cleanser to keep her face fresh, InStyle reports.

You can use Dermalogica Active Moist to keep your skin hydrated. This lightweight, oil-free lotion protects the area and combats dry surfaces. The product doesn't contain any artificial fragrances or colors that will harm the skin.

A healthy skincare routine is important, and Zooey also puts a lot of effort into her beauty products.

"I'm much more crazy about makeup than other products," the star told InStyle.

Emphasize the eyes
Known for her beautiful baby blues, the star often emphasizes her eyes. Products should be used to enhance your favorite features, not overshadow them.

The actress suggests that ladies consider how far apart their eyes are before applying product. After you've established if your eyes are wide or close-set, you can properly emphasize them. If your eyes are close-set, avoid putting dark eyeliner in the inner corners, Zooey told Rimmell London.

"I would describe my own style as feminine, even flirtatious," she told InStyle.

You can achieve the look of this doe-eyed beauty by following some of her helpful suggestions.

Many people agree that Rhianna was one of the best dressed at the event. The star pulled off a look that was simple and sexy in a backless Giorgio Armani gown. She donned dark eye makeup to supplement her ensemble.

Taylor Swift also wowed the crowd with a classic Dolce & Gabbana gown. The singer wore light and glittery makeup on the red carpet. Whether the stars decide to be bold and unique like Fergie in her orange gown or conservative like Adele – they dress to impress at these events.

However, the night of music and awards wouldn't be complete without a few fashion misses. Nicki Minaj wore a ruby red Versace gown that resembled a nun's habit. She was escorted by a man dressed as the Pope.

Jennifer Hudson stole the show with her tribute to the late Whitney Houston. She looked flawless as she sang one of Whitney's most popular ballads. If you want your complexion to appear as breathtaking as Jennifer's, you need to start with the right base. By applying Jane Iredale PurePressed base, you can get the look you deserve. The light diffusing, soft focus minerals will give your skin a glamorous glow.

While it's unlikely that you'll see yourself strutting down the red carpet anytime soon, that doesn't mean you can't mimic your favorite celebs. With the right makeup application you can feel fit for A-list events in no time.

Choosing a bronzer

It seems as if all the top models have dramatic and defined cheekbones. How do they pull this off? They may have some genetic advantages that can't be faked, but fortunately, chiseled cheekbones aren't one of them. In order to create this effect, you should use a powder in combination with a bronzer. Typically, bronzers should be about two shades darker than your natural skin color.

Brush application
When you put on your makeup, make a fish face and apply a light layer of bronzer on the cheekbones. This application will highlight the area and make it more defined. Use a Jane Iredale Dome Brush to spread bronzer on the skin. The brush is designed to be both gentle and effective. Remember, the layer should be light and blend in with the rest of the look. It's meant to define your cheeks, but you shouldn't be able to point out the line of product.

While smiling, brush a layer of blush along the apples of your cheeks to your temples.

"The contrasting tones define and shape cheekbones," Joanna Schlip, Los Angeles makeup artist told Cosmopolitan. 

By combining bronzer and blush you create a contrast on your face that allows the cheeks to appear more dramatic. 

With these simple steps your cheeks can resemble those of a high fashion model.

Power pucker
Sometimes your lips and skin can simply feel, "blah." You can spice things up with a colorful shade of lipstick and you might feel better in no time! Before applying a layer, be sure to moisturize so the color doesn't fall into the cracked sections. Use a brush to paint on the color, this will help you use the right amount of product.

Eyeliner
If you're sick of your typical eye-makeup and ready for a change, why not channel the trends you see on the runway? Maybe you don't have plans to stomp down the catwalk anytime soon, but that doesn't mean you can't mimic the supermodel style.

After Fashion Week kicked off in New York City, all eyes are on the models, and not just for their clothes. Cat eyes are a popular look on the runway this season. Whether you want a dramatic look for a night out with friends or something to draw attention to the your eyes during the day – this could be the trend for you.

Smooth skin
Everyone wants soft skin, but during the winter season, achieving this goal can be a little difficult. With the proper moisturizing, you can have the texture you desire in no time! By using Bioelements Crucial Moisture you can improve chronically dry skin and premature surface wrinkles. This product is packed with healing Chinese herbs, organic oils and high-speed hydrators. By applying this daily, you can gradually relieve dryness.

Concealer 

This product is one the the most valuable possessions in a makeup bag because it can hide blemishes and create a flawless complexion.

"Concealer should always follow foundation. If you put it on first and then you blend on the foundation, you're essentially erasing all your handiwork. If you layer concealer on top, it's staying where it needs to stay and doing its job," makeup artist Carmindy told CNN. 

Feel good about your look with these quick and easy tips. You'll be on your way to flawless in no time!

As you separate the necessities from the excess, consider what items are key to achieving your favorite looks. Everyone has different facial features they like to emphasize, but there are some essentials that should never be overlooked.

Concealer
Most people, even celebrities, have some blemishes they would like to hide or cover up. Concealer can help minimize the look of an unwanted spot or dark circle on the face. All women want a flawless complexion and concealer is essential to pulling this off.

The Jane Iredale PurePressed Base is a compact that can benefit any beauty routine. This small product is a concealer, foundation, powder and sunscreen all rolled into one. Give your skin a healthy glow with the light diffusing minerals. Be sure to apply in thin layers, a little goes a long way with this base.

Mascara
When you're rushing around in the morning and don't have the time to apply much makeup, mascara might be your "go to" product. With a light layer, you can make your eyes pop with perfection. However, mascara is also one of the most common products women keep a little too long. Just because the bottle isn't empty, doesn't mean you should hang onto it. The general consensus is to toss a tube after three to six months.

Moisturizer
Before applying any makeup, be sure to moisturize the skin to give it a soft feel. Keeping the skin hydrated is essential for a healthy complexion. By using Cellex-C Silk Oil-Free Moisturizer, you can eliminate the look of dry skin. This product is rich with botanicals that deliver optimal moisture and antioxidant protection.

Lipstick
Applying a layer of lipstick to your pucker can transform your look. If you're feeling washed out and pasty this season, adding color along your lips can brighten things up.

It may seem like a burden, but cleaning out your cosmetic bag could make your mornings easier. You will no longer have to spend precious minutes combing through empty or expired compacts and it'll give you an excuse to buy some new makeup!

Wear SPF
You can never have enough sunscreen. It doesn't matter if you plan to spend the day soaking up the sun on the beach or working hard in your office – SPF is necessary.

When questioned about how the stars have smooth and supple skin, Albert M. Lefkovits, New York dermatologist told Cosmopolitan,
"They don't live in a cocoon to avoid rays, but they also don't lie out in the sun for hours, and believe me, they are always putting on sunscreen."

The tanned look might seem appealing, but the sun can take a toll on your skin. You don't want your face to be plagued with wrinkles because you refused to apply sunscreen when you were younger.

"I tell my clients to put sunscreen on 15 minutes before they leave the house in the morning and at least one more time a few hours later. My celebrity clients who are gorgeous and around 40 have lived by this rule," Harold Lancer, Beverly Hills dermatologist, told the source.

Nicole Kidman is famous for her luminous skin. She always wears sunscreen and avoids going in the sun to maintain her flawless complexion, she told Marie Claire.

Exercise regularly
Stars are always working to stay in shape because of movie roles or promotional engagements. You may not have all the same training opportunities as the stars, but you can be physically fit without a personal trainer. If you exercise more often, you will feel more energized and raise your endorphin level.

Drink water
Staying hydrated is equally as important for celebrities as it is for average women. Drinking a lot of water allows the skin to look healthier.

If you have already developed dreaded wrinkles, don't worry – it's not too late! Use Dermalogica Overnight Repair Serum to help your skin recover while you sleep. The product increases luminosity and minimizes fine lines.
