Spot-treat problem areas with Full Cover Concealer. 3. For all-over foundation, mix Face & Body with just a small dot of Uplight Face Luminizer. 4. Dab HD Blush on the apples of your cheeks—a little goes a long way! 5. Use Aqua Eye Pencil in soft brown or light plum. 6. Define your lip with Aqua Lip Pencil, then lightly shade the rest of the lip and cover with gloss. 7. Use Aqua Brow for smudge- free brow definition. 8. Add a little drama with Aqua Smokey Lash in extra black. 9. Use Mist & Fix spray to set the makeup and create a barrier for extreme conditions. "It gives a nice, dewy, healthy glow," she says. 6670 S. Tenaya Way, 702-410-5459; platinumentourage.com 118 VEGASMAGAZINE.COM GUIDE beauty
