Photo Finish: Makeup That Gets You Camera-Ready

We are our own worst critics, and at no time is that maxim more evident than when we're forced to look at photographs of ourselves that we're not happy with. We can't always dictate the angle or the lighting, but we do have the final say over the makeup we choose to wear when we know we'll be looking down the barrel of a camera. From the first coat of primer to the final blotting of lipstick before we face the lens, every step in the process matters. Follow these seven fail-safe guidelines, and you'll always be ready for your close-up.

Step 2: Concealer

The concealer you wear in photos should be two to three shades lighter than your natural skin tone. Use Benefit’s hardworking, heavy-duty Erase Paste to lighten under-eye circles and cover up blemishes and dark spots. Blend into the skin with a flat, round-bristled brush designed especially for concealer application. ($26, Sephora.com)
