5-Minutes to Flawless Skin

Celebs seem to have it all... perfect careers, perfect bodies and perfect skin - or do they? Girl, I'm afraid that just like us, they also experience monthly zit breakouts, fine lines, and as they get older, wrinkles. Some have freckles, unsightly birthmarks and blemishes. However, with some quality products and a few expert swipes of the trusty concealer, they appear flawless in front of the camera.

Before we get into the technique, we want to stress the fact that the quest for perfect skin starts from the inside. Celebrities do some crazy stuff to keep their skin looking amazing, according to http://www.everydayhealth.com/, who said that:

• Jennifer Lopez proclaimed herself a fan of anti-ageing placenta face masks.
• Kate Middleton, Victoria Beckham, Dannii and Kylie Minogue, and Michelle Pfeiffer use bee-venom facials. 
• Simon Cowell told GQ that he swears by vitamin IV drips.
• Jerry Hall is rumored to be among the fans of ceramic crystal therapy.
• Demi Moore talked about a sophisticated leech therapy she endured.
• And other celebs go for vampire face-lifts, a $600 to $800 in-office procedure performed only by physicians, your blood is spun to separate out the plasma from the red blood cells. 

How efficient those treatments are, is up for debate, while we at Uh Supply favor the more natural approach of healthy eating, plenty of rest and exercise and quality skin care and while we can't always spend 6 hours a day dancing like JLo does, or never touching MacDonald's like Jennifer Aniston does, we can always borrow flawless skin make-up tips from the stars.

Here are our favorites:

1. Use a concealer brush to cover-up pimples, using quick, short motions (like spackling).

The brush has tapered bristles that get into the crevices of the blemish more efficiently than your fingers can. Check that your concealer contains salicylic acid to pack a double punch. Also, when the two formulas are combined, it sticks better to your skin. Use a powder that matches your skin-tone to set the cover-up in place.

2. Use a light primer that contains silica, because creamy moisturizing foundations don't settle into your skin's fine lines and wrinkles as well.

3. Use a liquid foundation that contains silicone, but avoid matte or luminous foundations that make the skin appear too flat or moist to look natural. Find one that is invisible, sheer or lightweight instead, such as Milani Minerals Mousse Foundation.A lightweight, oil-free, mineral-based foundation with a built in primer that won't clog pores. This silicone based formula delivers a silky-smooth finish, evens out skin tone, minimizes pores and diminishes the appearance of fine lines for a more youthful looking skin.
