To help women look fresh-faced and flawless during the height of allergy season, ZYRTEC has partnered with celebrity makeup artist Jackie Gomez to help women tackle ALLERGY FACE. Gomez has developed a variety of celebrity-inspired looks that will help all women face their allergies so they too can look like they’re ready for their close-up.


I had the opportunity to meet Jackie Gomez in April while at Hispanicize 2014 in Miami. She shared a few make-up and beauty tips to help combat #AllergyFace. She has created several looks like Foxy Feline, Freshfaced Glamorous and Bronze Beauty to help women look their best when suffering from allergy symptoms such as puffy eyes and a red nose. As someone who suffers from seasonal allergies, I have taken to her awesome beauty tips to help mask the look of ALLERGY FACE.


My favorite look of her's is Bronze Beauty. One of her tips she suggested was using a bronzer to disguise your puffy face, just as you would wear black to look slimmer, you can do the same with a bronzer on your face. You can use a tinted moisturizer and/or foundation that is slightly darker than your skin tone and top it off with a powdered bronzer to outline your jawline and face. The key to this tip is to make sure your foundation is well blended into your skin and that you don't forget your neck!


So these are my beauty tools to help me combat ALLERGY FACE.

• Concealer to conceal any redness or blemishes I may have.
• A foundation a few shades darker than my complexion to hide my puffy face.
• A pink beauty blender to make sure my foundation is well blended and looks flawless. 
• Watts Up highlighter to highlight the center of my nose and under my eyes.
• I use a eye concealer and highlighter under my brows to help hide any redness and make my eyes look more awake.
• Eyelash curler and waterproof mascara to make my eyes stand out. 
• Top it off with my favorite lip color.
