Apply mascara first "My big philosophy is to do mascara first. If you do it first, even if you're in a hurry, you can add a gloss and you're done," says makeup artist Napoleon Perdis who created the makeup look for the Kaelen show.

Some helpful hints here, but nothing dramatic (in this last tip, why not use blush instead of pinching your cheeks? Better yet, why not use "Pinch Your Cheeks" for long-lasting color?)

Always with mascara if I'm in a rush. Otherwise I look like a zombie!
