Give your face a candle-lit glow:
Apply a drop of highlighter, like The Body Shop Glow Enhancer, on the tops of cheekbones. It slims the face and hides imperfections. ($14 for 0.85 oz, thebodyshop.com)

Take 10 pounds off your face:
A brushstroke of a bronzer such as Bonne Bell Powder Bronze just below your cheekbones creates slimming definition. ($4.50, walgreens.com)

De-puff a party face:
Calm cranky skin by holding a bag of frozen peas to your face for 30 seconds. Make sure the peas are loose, so they conform to the shape of your face. They'll reduce swelling and redness all over.

Flatten an erupting breakout:
Ice the blemish for 30 seconds to decrease inflammation, then use a cotton swab to dab Visine or hydrocortisone on the bump. This will make blood vessels constrict, minimizing redness. Last: Conceal. Wet n Wild Beauty Unblemished Treatment concealer pencil has salicylic acid on one end and a creamy cover-up on the other. ($6, wnwbeautybenefits.com for stores)

Get the red outfast:
Smear a nude or flesh-tone shade, like Clinique Touch Tint for Eyes in Nude Sparkle ($14.50, clinique.com), DuWop Eye Shadow Duet in Chai ($17, duwop.com), or Neutrogena Skin Soothing Eye Tint in Honey Shimmer ($9, drugstore.com), to make redness vanish. Apply it with your finger: There's no need to worry about being precise.
