Celeb makeup artist raves that under-$3 beauty buy can be used ‘for multiple techniques’ – plus top tips for mature skin
WANT to copy the skincare routine of the stars without spending like one?
A celebrity makeup artist has shared the money-saving routine that still gives red-carpet results.
GO GET ‘EM SLUGGER
YouTube star and makeup artist Wayne Goss knows you don’t need pricey products to get a glam glow-up.
“Vaseline is one of the best products that you can buy, and you can use it for multiple techniques,” Goss told The U.S. Sun.
“The first is skincare slugging, and it can also be used as a pretty lipgloss to make your lips shine, and even a highlighter on your cheekbones,” he added.
Slugging might leave your skin feeling a bit slimy, but it is a technique widely used for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and locking in moisture.
Good thing that according to Goss, smoother skin is just a cheap product away.
Target sells Vaseline Healing Jelly Original for $2.79.
The affordable buy is described as being ideal for repairing dry and cracked skin.
It especially helps with slugging as it doesn’t clog pores.
EYE-POPPING TRICKS
He also shared his anti-aging makeup tips for turning back time.
“Avoid metallic eyeshadows and instead, opt for a matte,” he said.
“Matte generally works best as it doesn’t draw attention to wrinkled areas or creases,” he continued.
You might also want to incorporate another product into your routine – just make sure to use it the right way.
“Powder is easier to apply over creams, especially as it is easier to blend with a good quality brush,” he said.
“Never blend eyeshadow with a finger – good quality brushes are made with the intention to blend well with hooded eyelids and fine lines.”
Color matching can also make a dramatic anti-aging difference.

“Generally speaking, people may go too light around the eyes with their concealer which can add years to your face, so it’s really important to get the color that suits your skin tone,” he said.
“Cream concealer is always recommended above liquids, and I’d highly recommend applying some on the inner corner of your eye, as that’s the one part of the eye that doesn’t crease,” he continued.
HAPPY FACE
When it comes to keeping your skin happy, he has just one word – hydration.
“As we get older, our skin will naturally become drier, which is why hydrating ingredients are so important as you get into your older age,” he said.
“Look for makeup with ingredients such as hyaluronic acid when you’re on your next makeup and skincare shopping haul to ensure that your products are keeping your skin hydrated.”
