Beauty tip I learned from my mom:
The 80's were all about color. Instead of using a basic brown or black eyeliner, go for a colorful shade. Try a blue or deep berry to brighten the whites of your eyes for a more rested and fun look.—Tammy Slider
When my mother was growing up, sun-worshipping was the thing to do. That said, I learned what NOT to do! I started at an early age wearing a cream with an SPF every single day. I did, however pick up the red lip trend from my mom, who loved her crimson lipstick. She used to say, "Since I don't know how to do my eyes, I'm going to play up my lips. The darker the red the better!" And I second that.—Suzanne Carr
My mother taught me to wash my face twice a day. A fresh, clean face is a must.—Blanche LeBeau

How to know which type of foundation/concealer/skincare is right for you:
First, determine what kind of skin you have – normal, oily or combination. This will help you pick a skincare regiment that is right for you. Next, determine what you want out of your concealer and foundation – Light, Medium or Full coverage. I always encourage the "feel right test." Try three formulas and finishes of foundation and concealers. Your skin will show you what looks best! Tip – you can receive a free skincare consultation and foundation sample at any Estée Lauder counter so you can take it home and try it before you buy it.—Tammy Slider
Good skincare is the most important part of a woman's beauty regimen. Healthy skin allows for the most ideal canvas for flawless foundation application. Cleanser, serum, and eye cream are important products to help you achieve your best skin.—Suzanne Carr
After a good skincare lineup, a great foundation is imperative. When looking for the perfect foundation for you, it's important to first know your undertone (warm, cool or neutral). One of the ways to check is to look at the veins in your inner wrist. A cool undertone generally means more "bluish"-toned veins, while green means warmer. If you can't tell, you are neutral! The tried-and-true checkpoint of all is to be professionally matched by a foundation expert. Visit any Estée Lauder counter, where we foundation match with a free sample – for free!—Suzanne Carr
My favorite makeup trick for looking younger:
Red lips are fun, flirty, and bring out the carefree, youthful side in anyone. But selecting the perfect red lipstick for your skintone isn't always easy. Finding your undertone is the easiest way to choose the right red lipstick. Looking at the inside of your wrist, determine what color vein predominantly appears. If you see blue, you're cool. Choose a red lipstick leaning towards pink, red or blue. More green, choose yellow and coral tones. If it's too hard to tell, choose a 'neutral' red with a mix of warm and cool undertones.—Tammy Slider
My favorite age-defying makeup trick is our wildly popular 3 Minute Beauty Fatigue Fighter technique. All you need is a concealer brush, Advanced Night Repair Eye Serum or Gel and Double Wear Concealer. To start, drop a touch of Advanced Night Repair Eye product on the back of your hand and mix with concealer. Use the concealer brush to pick up the product and pat the mixture under the eye area. Instant hydration, brightness and youth!—Suzanne Carr
Fill in and shape your brows! Slightly bolder brows will make you look younger.—Blanche LeBeau
The correct order for applying makeup:
Apply face primer first, then a BB cream or foundation depending on preference, followed by concealer all around the eye area (top and bottom). Finish with an eyeshadow base on top of the eyelid. In this order, you will achieve the most natural-looking finish.—Blanche LeBeau
