Create a Custom Nail Color
A true nail polish addict is never satisfied with just one shade of red (think: lacquer library). But you can give one bottle of crimson polish added life by adding another shade underneath. Deborah used a similar technique backstage at Kate Spade New York. First she laid down one coat of Knock on Wood, then topped it with My Old Flame to produce a rusty brick red. The secret: "You have to let the first layer dry. You'll get drag and not the right kind of coverage if you don't really let that first layer dry for two minutes before you put that second polish," Lippmann said.
Keep Your Matte Lipstick From Smudging
Before you apply a matte lipstick it's imperative to let your lips marinate in lip balm for a seamless application. But you have to wipe away the glossy balm before applying your lipstick color. A slippery balm can cause your long wear product to smudge or turn shiny — not the look you were going for, right? Another alternative is to use a matte lip balm or lip primer like Stila Lush Lips Primer ($21), which is makeup artist Sarah Lucero's favorite.
