In life, there is always room for improvement—and our daily beauty routine is no exception.

"Check out your go-to look in every light. From sunlight to office light—even the light of a camera flash—you will be amazed by how different your makeup looks. While doing this, you can see what little adjustments you should make to your 'main face.'" —Joanna Schlip, who's worked with Ellen Pompeo, Laura Linney, and Eva Longoria

"Experiment and get out of your box. If you only wear nude lipsticks, wear a red. If you've never worn purple eyeliner, try it. Too vague? I really mean it. Makeup is a tool to have fun with your look. Once you've corrected whatever bothers you, go for it. Think of makeup like a fashion accessory, and be courageous." —Molly R. Stern, who's worked with Reese Witherspoon, Lily Collins, and Mandy Moore

"Applying a face oil to the skin before applying makeup—instead of a makeup primer—will give your skin a natural glow and will make makeup go on so much smoother." —Lina Hanson, who's worked with Brooke Shields, Gillian Anderson, and Portia de Rossi
