Tip No. 2: Prep your skin

Have dull, dry skin? It's probably because you're dehydrated after a long night, and your skin is in need of moisture. Try using a thick cream like Kiehl's Ultra Facial Cream, $25 -- but only in the morning -- to hydrate your skin and keep it from flaking.

You can also use a hydrating or Vitamin C facemask to perk up your skin. Makeup artist Taylor Babaian loves Neutrogena Healthy Skin Visibly Even Skin Polishing Enzyme Treatment, $12.59, while Simms recommends Paula's Choice Skin Recovery Hydrating Treatment Mask, $18.95.
