Beauty How-To: Apply Concealer

The FriskyMarch 4, 2010 //

Thanks to well-applied concealer, we look like our two hours of sleep was really ten, our blemish-sprouting skin is actually flawless, and that scar on our upper left eyebrow faded years ago.

(Corny!)

While weight loss is a main focus, Silverstone claims that her diet also has some interesting added perks. Keep reading »
