How To: Use a Foundation Brush

A foundation brush is usually flat and made out of synthetic fibers. It is designed to help line the creases of the skin, cover the pores and give an even complexion. A good foundation brush eliminates streaks and helps blend the foundation, with the concealer and blush on the skin.
The use of the brush, instead of your fingers, helps to make the application of foundation perfectly flawless and smooth to your skin.

Don't worry, it's totally safe! Just a couple of tricks that you can easily do at home to keep your teeth white, and prevent some stains:

•  Mouth guard & baking soda. A mouth guard can be bought at any drugstore. Mix baking soda, lemon juice and a little bit of water. Then fill the mouth guard with this solution, leave for 10 or 15 minutes and then wash off the residue with a tooth brush;
• Eat your fruits, especially strawberries;
• Floss! Really, it's a bummer but don't forget about flossing, in order to keep your teeth healthy and clean;
• If you like chewing gum, choose the one with xylitol and no sugar. Xylitol is a natural sweetener that helps prevent plaque;
• Get a "whitening" toothpaste, mouthwash and floss.
• Keep toxins away: avoid smoking and chewing tobacco. If you can avoid tea and coffee, great! If not, brush your teeth right away, in order to avoid yellowing or staining your teeth.

With perfect teeth comes perfect lips and smile. A rich spread of color on your lips, very smooth and highly-pigmented: the Younique Lucrative Lip Gloss, available in 10 gorgeous shades.

The Concealer Method

This trick is the simplest trick ever regarding makeup. You just apply the Moodstruck Minerals Concealer in little dabs using the concealer brush and after, instead of swiping the concealer from left to right, right to left under your eye, just make little taps along the area you want to conceal: tap, tap, tap. That's the trick!
This way the product will stick to your skin, the warmth of your hands will help the product to blend into your skin and the effect will be much more natural.
