Master the Matte Finish

Why you should ditch the dewy makeup look for satin-y skin

Go All Day (and All Night) Long
Go All Day (and All Night) Long The satin-y, shine-free look of matte skin makes it ideal for daytime or nighttime. (Yay! No more 2 p.m. oil slick at work or waiting in line for the ladies' room to touch up at night.)

Matte makeup is like a classic pair of black flats: It looks good on everyone. But to keep your face from looking flat, don't wear matte shades on your eyes, lips and cheeks at the same time. Too much matte all over can be harsh and aging, Piggott says.

Instead, pick a focal point and use a contrasting finish. Think: a matte lip with a shimmery eye, or a bold lip (try Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick by Kate Moss) with matte eye makeup. Contrasting textures is a "fresh, modern and super flattering" accompaniment to velvet-finished skin, says Piggott.
