## Prime Time
Prime time refers to the hours when television viewership is highest, typically between 7 and 11 p.m. during weeknights.
This period has historically been considered the most valuable for advertising as a larger audience is tuned in.
During prime time, networks schedule their most popular shows, aiming to attract a wide range of viewers.
The term “prime time” originated from the idea that this was the “prime” or best time to reach the largest possible television audience.
Exfoliate Gently
Hydrate Deeply
Conceal & Correct
Marionette lines, those downward creases that form around the corners of the mouth, can be a sign of aging and sometimes make us appear sad or tired. Thankfully, makeup can help create the illusion of smoother skin and minimize their appearance.
Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to effectively conceal marionette lines with makeup:
**1. Hydration is Key:** Before applying any makeup, start by thoroughly hydrating your skin. This will create a smooth canvas for the makeup to glide on and help prevent fine lines from becoming more prominent.
2. Prime Time: Apply a primer specifically designed for smoothing and blurring imperfections. Primers with hyaluronic acid or silicones can help fill in those fine lines and create a more even surface for your foundation.
**3. The Concealer Choice:** Opt for a hydrating concealer that is slightly lighter than your skin tone. This will brighten the area and help camouflage the shadows cast by the marionette lines.
**4. Application Technique:** Using a small, dense brush or your ring finger, gently dab the concealer onto the marionette lines. Avoid pulling or dragging the skin, as this can exacerbate wrinkles. Blend well into surrounding skin for a seamless finish.
**5. Setting is Essential:** Set the concealer with a translucent powder to prevent creasing and ensure it lasts throughout the day. Focus on setting the areas around the mouth where you applied the concealer.
**6. Color Correcting (Optional):** If the marionette lines appear particularly dark or purple, consider using a color corrector beforehand. A peach or salmon-colored corrector can help neutralize these discoloration and create a more even tone for concealing.
**7. Foundation Follow-Up:** Apply your foundation as usual, blending it seamlessly into the concealed areas. Ensure you build coverage gradually to avoid looking cakey.
**8. Highlight & Contour (Optional):** To further enhance your look and minimize the appearance of marionette lines, you can strategically highlight the center of your lips and contour underneath the cheekbones.
**9. Lipstick Lift:** Choose a lipstick shade that complements your skin tone and adds volume to your lips. A bold color or one with a glossy finish can help draw attention away from the marionette lines.

## Set It & Forget It
“Blend Like a Pro: Set it & Forget It” is a skincare and makeup routine designed to minimize the appearance of marionette lines, those creases that form around the mouth as we age. The technique emphasizes creating a seamless base for foundation application by focusing on precise blending.
Marionette lines can make us look older than we feel. They’re caused by a combination of factors including:
- Thinning skin
- Loss of collagen and elastin
- Sun damage
- Facial expressions
While we can’t stop time, we can use makeup to expertly camouflage these lines and create a more youthful appearance.
Here’s how “Blend Like a Pro: Set it & Forget It” tackles this challenge:
- Prep the skin: Start with a clean, moisturized face. Use a primer to create a smooth canvas for your makeup and help it last longer. Choose a primer formulated for your skin type (oily, dry, sensitive).
- Targeted Concealer Application**: Apply a creamy concealer specifically designed for under-eye use. Gently dab it onto the marionette lines and surrounding area. Avoid pulling or tugging on the delicate skin.
- Blend, Blend, Blend: The key to this technique is meticulous blending. Use a damp beauty sponge or a small brush to gently blend the concealer outward, seamlessly merging it with your foundation. Work in soft, circular motions to create a natural look.
- Set with Powder**: Once blended, set the concealer and surrounding area with a translucent powder. This helps prevent creasing and ensures long-lasting coverage.
