This is going to be an ongoing post that I will update as I think of other things.

There are times when you want to tweak your look. Maybe you just don't like the colors you chose. Maybe you feel you look tired -- or old!

Pick one or two of these:

Add
a concealer Touch up any place you might need it, with illuminating concealer.
a lippie Swipe another color or gloss, or both, over the top of what you started with.
a brighter, deeper, or smokier color to your shadows Either as shadow or brightliner, as you wish.
a liner Swipe on a deeper or another color.

Clean up
any smudging under your eyes
any migrating into lines around your mouth

Freshen
your lippie
(or add) eye cream This will camouflage lines. Use an illuminating one.
dab on moisturizer around your lips if you are dry; pat it, don't wipe.
under your eyes, around your mouth, or beneath your brow with illuminating concealer.
your blush Choose a different color, if the one you started with isn't working.

Can you think of other things? What do you do to freshen up?
