The right diet plays a major role in strong and healthy nails. Therefore add a glass of milk and a hard-boiled egg to your daily diet. Diet rich in zinc, will do wonders to your nails, especially if your nails have white spots.

Foundation: When you shop for foundation, try products on your jawbone to ensure that they match your skin tone. Makeup artists love foundations from Bobbi Brown, Cover Girl, Laura Mercier, Nars or Sonia Kashuk. Make sure you apply foundation to clean skin.

Concealer: If you have blemishes, use a concealer one shade darker than your skin to cover them up. (Use a cotton swab or concealer brush and dot a tiny amount of the concealer to mask the blemish.) If you have undereye circles, use a concealer one shade lighter than your skin. Use your fingers or a concealer brush to glide the product over dark areas, blending well. For any other concealing needs, such as hiding broken capillaries next to the nose, use a concealer that matches your skin exactly. Try True Concealer from Skin Alison Raffaele. It comes in seven shades, so you can find a perfect match to your skin tone.
