Celebrity Makeup How To
To quickly achieve those great celebrity makeup looks you don't need to apply tons of makeup or expensive products. Just pay special attention to a few basic areas like the eyes, eyebrows, and skin. Here are some simple secret tricks from makeup artists to the stars to help you look fabulous in no time..............
Celebrity Eye Makeup Tips
Eyelashes
One of the biggest celebrity eye makeup tip is to emphasis the eyelashes and eyebrows. There are many ways celebs get those bold, long, thick eyelashes without resorting to expensive eyelash extensions or false eyelashes.
One simple trick for great looking thicker lashes is to apply a dusting of powder on the eyelashes right before applying mascara - this will make them much thicker and loner. Another tip is to curl the lashes before applying the mascara.......then apply two coats of curling mascara.
Other secret celebrity makeup tips for natural, yet dramatic eyes include choosing an eyeliner color that compliments your skin tone. For example, Kate Hudson's makeup artist suggests that fair skinned women should avoid very dark or black eyes or eyeliners. Instead try using a lighter eye liner like medium gold, light brown, or gray. This gives the eyes a dramatic look without looking overdone.
Eyebrows
Eyebrows are one of the most dramatic celebrity makeup looks since they frame the eyes and the entire face. Even when you see a celebrity -- like Beyonce -- without makeup, they always have perfectly shaped defined eyebrows.
The first step in perfectly groomed eyebrows is to shape them. Celebrity makeup artists use a good quality pair of tweezers to arch and shape, but if you not handy with eyebrow tweezers, consider visiting your local hair salon and spa. Many stylist can quickly shape your brows for a very low cost.
The second step to great brows is to make sure to fill in any bald spots with an eyebrow pencil that matches your brow color.
Use light feathery strokes and only fill the spots that are bold. Making the brows to heavy or dark can make you look angry and old. For red head celebrities like Nicole Kidman, the best color is a light to medium auburn. For blonds use taupe and brunettes, like Angelina Jolie, light or medium brown works best.
Natalie Portman's makeup artist, Jeanine Lobell likes to use two different brow colors. A lighter one in the front and a darker one from the arch to the ends where hair tends to be thinner.
Celebrity Makeup Looks For Great Skin
Face
One simple basic tip that celebrities from Katie Holmes to Katie Couric swear by is to exfoliate, exfoliate, exfoliate!! Whether or not you plan to wear foundation, having smooth, soft, moist skin can enhance your appearance and give you a natural dewy look.
