  Radiant skin

  Works: Yves Saint Laurent Cream Blush in Velvety Peach, Silky Praline and Powdery Rose

  To revive a dull, sleepy face, dab a bright cream blush or stain onto clean, moisturized skin, right on the fleshy part of your cheek, before putting on foundation. "This trick mimics the naturally rosy undertones skin had when you were younger," says David Horne, a makeup artist in London. Wake up fair skin with pinks and peaches; illuminate medium to darker complexions with mauve or raspberry shades. Done? Don't forget to say cheese! Smiling is the natural way to energize your face.

• Radiant skin

  Works: Jemma Kidd Pro: Skin Rescue Bio-Complex Veil SPF 15 in Nude

  You multitask all the time—so why shouldn't your makeup? "Products don't have to simply enhance features or hide imperfections," says Matin, a makeup artist in NYC. "They should treat what you're trying to conceal, too." Look for formulas that contain skin-care-worthy ingredients such as firming peptides, antioxidants and hydrating hyaluronic acid.

• Radiant skin

  Works: Almay Smart Shade Smart Balance SPF 15 in Light

  Avoid emphasizing creases while achieving subtle full-face coverage: Apply a liquid foundation or tinted moisturizer on your face and blend with your fingertips using small downward motions. "This technique creates a thin veil that doesn't seep into pores and draw attention to lines," Matin explains.

• Radiant skin

  Collagen (aka skin's support structure) declines over time, causing skin to sag and therefore making cheeks look hollow. To reclaim youthful roundness, apply a shimmer cream on the outer edge of cheekbones, then sweep it up and out toward your hairline. "The iridescence attracts light, which will bounce off skin to create the illusion that cheekbones are full and lifted," Linter points out.

• Radiant skin

  Works: Physicians Formula Line Erase Rx Concealer in Soft Yellow

  The final step in your get-glowing routine: concealer. "It can camouflage even the most obvious early evidence of aging, including sun damage on cheeks and random broken capillaries around your nose," Matin says. Dry formulas (typically housed in pots) blend well into oily areas such as your T-zone, whereas liquids won't accentuate age-related crevices (think laugh lines).

• Bright eyes

  Works: Neutrogena Mineral Sheers Concealer Kit SPF 20 in Medium

  Lack of sleep slows circulation around eyes, so blood pools and casts a bluish tint. To zap the raccoon effect—without putting a spotlight on fine lines—use a soft, flat-bristled brush to press concealer from the inner lower corner to midway under eyes (where most darkness lies), Horne says.

• Bright eyes

  Works: L'Oréal Paris Extra-Volume Collagen Mascara in Black

  Use mascara on the top lashes only. "Doing it this way lifts the eyes because upper lashes point upward," says Robert Jones, a makeup artist in NYC. "Keep bottom lashes bare."

• Bright eyes

  Works: Guerlain Ombre Eclat 4 Shades Eye Shadow in Tsarina

  Draw eyeliner (or wet an eyeshadow brush and dip it into powder) along upper lash lines. At outer corners, extend the line with an upward stroke to create a flattering raised cat's eye.

• Colorful lips

  Works: Estée Lauder Signature Lipstick in Plum Amethyst

  You have natural hints of pink in your skin and lips, so wearing variations of this color (plum, berry, fuchsia) on your mouth makes your smile pop. If the hue seems too intense, pat the lipstick tip with your index finger, then dab it on, says Val Garland, a makeup artist in London.

• Colorful lips

  Works: Clinique Vitamin C Lip Smoothie in Goodness Grapecious

  Lips lose collagen as we age, causing them to deflate. Make them look plumper with gloss, or pair lipstick with clear gloss in the center. "Doing this reflects light, so lips seem fuller," says Dick Page, a makeup artist in NYC.

• Colorful lips

  Works: Chanel Precision Lip Definer in Praline D'Or

  The subtle ridge separating lips from skin fades over time. The result: Lipstick can bleed easily. Rub concealer around your lip line before applying color "to form an invisible barrier," Linter says.
