* Mix ½ cup sugar and ½ cup olive oil for the perfect moisturizing body scrub.

* Use a creamy highlight/shimmer on your upper cheekbones to brighten eyes and create instant contour.

* Wax or thread your brows a few days before the big day to avoid redness, then just tweeze the strays!

* Fill in your lips with a creamy nude lip pencil before you brush on your lipstick for extra staying power.

* When a monster zit pops up (As the always seem to do!) a little Visine on the blemish will contract the blood vessels and temporarily stop to the    redness.

* Cool wet teabags are great eye masques, just lay them on your lids and relax while the caffeine soothes away puffiness.

* Roll a couple Q-Tips in your eyeshadow and pop them into a Ziploc for quick emergency touch-ups.

* Try some at-home teeth whitening strips. You won’t believe how much a brighter smile can enhance your face.

* Keep your eye cream in the fridge for added anti-inflammatory benefits
