The Simplest Celebrity Makeup Tips
Sometimes the best looks are the simplest, and also the most inexpensive. To achieve a glowing look on bare arms and legs, many celebrities and makeup artists swear by Johnson’s Baby Oil. Apply lightly after a shower and it will leave a perfect sheen all day. The Johnson’s Baby Oil Gel is great on lips and also sets eye shadow.
Speaking of eye makeup, celebrities know that the best way to manage on the red carpet with a tiny clutch is to double up on products. To achieve that sexy, shimmery look, use metallic eyeliner as an eye shadow. It will last longer and won’t melt, even under Klieg lights.
Another way to cut down on products but look like a star is to use bronzing powder instead of blush. Professional beauties know this is a great way to look like you’re wearing no makeup at all. Sweep some over the eyes as well for extra shimmer.
Whether going on a summer shoot or a summer cruise, stylists insist their famous clients use wheat-germ oil from the health food store as a conditioner. Cold-pressed wheat-germ oil is an easy and cheap way to maintain beautiful hair in hot dry weather and look as though you’ve spent a bundle.
Lip-Smacking Good
Everyone wants a pout like Angelina Jolie’s but no one wants collagen injections. Lip plumpers are good tools for plumping up the pucker and adding shine. Some popular plumpers include:
- Sally Hansen Maximum Plumping Lip Treatment
- Too Faced Lip Injection
- Modèle Collagen Lip Treatment
- Sally Hershberger Face Place Lip Volumizer
- Sövage Lip Plumper
Everyone’s lips respond differently to products, so try to test before buying. You should also be prepared for a little stinging, but this should dissipate quickly.
Star Beauty on the Cheap
When asked about products, most celebrity makeup tips are surprisingly low-key. To get the dramatic, upswept lashes that make eyes look huge, stars use Maybelline’s Great Lash Mascara. Others swear by drugstore lip glosses like Bonne Bell. Notice how most red carpet events start in mid-afternoon on a blazing hot day, but the actresses aren’t overly shiny? That’s not expensive powder at work, they’ve dabbed on Milk of Magnesia over their moisturizer with SPF. A very little of this goes a long way, but lightly swept on, it will absorb extra oil.
- Additional tip:
- Milk of Magnesia also works well as a mask. Many actresses suffer from acne because of long hours spent in heavy film makeup and need noninvasive zit treatment. Either as a heavy face mask for ten minutes or dabbed on a zit overnight, Milk of Magnesia is very effective.
Favorite Products
One of the most common celebrity makeup tips of late is that the expensive La Mer line of creams is worth the money. Try the Crème de la Mer tinted sunscreen so that you can go without foundation and reap the benefits of a well-liked product.
Other famous beauty queens can’t say enough good things about Leaf & Rusher, a line developed by medical professionals. Their Green Tea Wash is very natural and a softening cleanser, while the Active Serum contains retinol and vitamin C, both of which help keep skin looking perfect as a woman ages. Not all the celebrities are using Botox.
As concerns about chemicals in products mount, many actresses swear by the lotions and deodorants sold at Trader Joe’s, the popular California market that is expanding nationwide. They make inexpensive cleansers and body scrubs beloved of some of the biggest stars.
Red-Carpet Ready
When asked, most celebrities say the real secret to looking fabulous is all about the attitude. Put on a flattering dress, cute but comfortable shoes, and make up with a few simple, sexy products and go out there and flaunt it like a star.
