Link Love::8 Clever Makeup Tips You Haven't Heard Before

Last night I was browsing Bella Sugar and came across an interest article that I had to share. This morning I decided to use the tip of adding aloe to my foundation and it came out beautiful. I have a dewy glow that has not needed touching up all day! This time around I decided to use a pea size of my Clinique Perfectly Real liquid foundation (which is a little on the heavy side to me...although its one of my favorites!) mixed with a pea size of aloe and it turned into a nice light coverage foundation. I was able to use far less product than I normally do and my skin looks great. I can't wait to try out additional tips on  the list.
