Why does celebrity makeup always look so perfect?
Celebrity makeup artists have tons of tips and techniques for applying makeup that most people never heard of! Want to be one of the few in-the-know? We’ve gathered some great ones for you right here! Here you will learn some great makeup application secrets to get your most flattering eyes, eyelashes, eyebrows, concealer, foundation, blush and lips ever
!
Celebrity Eyes:
Makeup artists have many tricks up their sleeves to make celebrities’ eyes pop! They first put an eye shadow primer or some foundation on the eyelids, so that the eye shadow has something to hold onto. For eye shadow colors, they’ll select three shades which are variations on the same color (i.e. light green, medium green, and dark green), or in the same neutral color family (i.e. beige, brown, and dark brown). They will put the lightest color on the brow bone, the medium color on the lid, and the darkest color in the crease. This will emphasize the shape of the eyes and make them stand out!
Other tricks for glammed-up, red carpet eyes include lining the lower inner rim of the eyes with a white pencil to make them appear bigger and applying shimmery clear lip gloss to the top eyelids to make eyes sparkle. Celebrity makeup artists also apply shimmer powder under the brow bone to draw more attention to the eye area and they always smude eyeliner with a Q-tip to make it look less severe or smokier.
To create cat-eyes (like Brigitte Bardot in the sixties or Pamela Anderson today), celebrity makeup artists use dark brown or black eyeliner to exaggerate the end of the eye so it turns up slightly. If you decide to go this route, remember that smudging is the key to perfecting this look!
Celebrity Eyelashes:
Celebrity makeup artists also have many secrets for eyelashes! They always curl eyelashes first to maximize length and curl. They then dust them with powder which makes the eyelashes look much thicker after the mascara is applied! Celebrity makeup artists will often use two coats of mascara, the first will be a lengthening or separating formula, and the second, a thickening formula, to max out eyelash potential! Mascara clumps are combed out between coats.
For special occasions celebrities may use false eyelashes (their secret is dark eyelash glue) or may have eyelash extensions applied which are semi-permanent variations.
Celebrity Eyebrows:
Celebrity makeup artists know that enhancing the shape of the eyebrows is one of the most dramatic ways to improve a celebrity’s appearance. Celebrity makeup artists use Treezerman brand tweezers most often to shape eyebrows. They tweeze the hairs under the arch of the eyebrow to further emphasize it and pluck away any strays. Eyebrows are filled in with the feathery strokes of an eyebrow pencil in either “blonde “or “taupe” for blondes, “auburn” for redheads, and light brown or medium brown for brunettes. Only black-haired gals should fill in their eyebrows with a “dark brown” eyebrow pencil” and nobody should use a black eyebrow pencil as it looks too severe. A secret weapon of celebrity makeup artists is brow sealant, which keeps this brow look in shape all day.
Celebrity Concealer:
Amazing Concealer by Amazing Cosmetics is favored by many celebrity makeup artists. Concealer is usually applied with an eye shadow brush. It is applied in thin layers which are “built up” until the blemish is covered. Concealer typically is applied before foundation. For really red blemishes, makeup artists often use a green concealer first which tones the redness down under foundation.
Celebrity Foundation:
Laura Mercier Foundation is very popular with celebrities. Foundation is usually applied by celebrity makeup artists with a sponge for the most natural looking coverage. Celebrity makeup artists use a foundation primer which is worn between your moisturizer and your foundation. This product refines the skin and helps foundation stay in place all day. If you can’t spring just yet for celebrity products, try Revlon’s Color Stay Foundation with Soft-flex, which stays in place all day and comes in an extensive variety of shades.
Celebrity Powder:
Celebrity makeup artists almost always use loose powder in a translucent or skin matching shade. They will apply it with a puff and then dust it away with a big brush, or will apply it with the big brush, being sure to shake off any excess first. Then the celebrity will carry around a pressed powder or blotting papers in her evening bag for touch ups. Some celebrities skip powder all together for their dry skinned clients. Powder is great for keeping foundation in place for the longest period of time, however.
Celebrity Blush:
Nars and Stila blushes are very popular with celebrity makeup artists. While these are powder blushes, there are other makeup artists who prefer gel blush because of the dewy, healthy glow it imparts. Blush is never applied with anything but a big, fluffy brush. It is applied on the apples of the cheeks in circles, or is swept from the apples to the hair line. Shimmery blushes like Nars blush in Torrid can make the cheeks appear to be glowing, according to celebrity fans.
Celebrity Lips:
MAC lipliner in Spice is the shade thought to most closely resemble natural lip color for most people and is a favorite of celebrity makeup artists. Celebrities often use lip-plumping products like City Lips and LipFusion which have both won awards from Good Housekeeping! Lip gloss is applied at least to the center of the bottom lip to make it look fuller.

Celebrity endorsements often help in soaring sales for product companies. This holds true for every product in every industry. In the fashion and beauty industry, celebrity endorsements have a snowball effect on product sales.
Did you know that the sales of L’Oreal’s Elnett soared because it was advertised by Cheryl Cole! The Girls Aloud singer boosted the product’s sales in the UK by 14 per cent last year. Cheryl also advertises L’Oreal’s Diamond Hold and Shine spray and the Elvive range of shampoos and conditioners for which sales are also up 14 per cent.
Women are definitely getting more adventurous and are customizing their hairstyles and color. They aspire to get the ‘red carpet’ styles at home and hence try to copy celebrity hairstyles. When these celebrities endorse specific hair products, they sell like hotcakes.
There’s nothing wrong in endorsing any product, until it benefits the masses. However the ads featuring celebrities are misleading at times and can cause concern amongst consumers.
This year itself, one of L’Oreal’s shampoo commercials featuring Cheryl Cole was scrutinized as it seemed misleading. Viewers were upset and many questioned whether Cheryl Cole’s hair extensions were worth it?
The obvious question is – Should celebrities endorse hair products?
The answer is yes, they should. However, celebrities should be careful in the way the product is positioned amongst consumers. Fans try to copy their favorite stars in every way possible, so celebrities should ensure that they are not sending any ambiguous message to their fans/consumers.
If you are unsure whether a product endorsed by a celebrity is right for you, then it is best to consult your stylist. Get involved in a consultation session with your stylist/colorist. Ask them about which hair products to apply, which hairstyling scissors to use, etc.
The benefit of doing this is that they will guide you in the right way so that you can copy a celebrity look and yet stay away from any side effects.

How come celebrity makeup looks are so natural yet, so fabulous? No matter what the current makeup trends are or whether it is an everyday look or a glamorous red carpet affair, celebrity makeup always flawless. Read on to find celebrity makeup tips, tricks, and read about stars without makeup
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. After thoroughly cleaning the skin and before moisturizing, make sure you exfoliate with a natural produt. Exfoliating helps remove dead skin cells, reduce the appearance of fine lines and age spots.
Once the skin is cleaned and exfoliated, it will be able to absorb any moisturizer much better – giving the skin a plumper, hydrated look. As you can see, celebrity makeup looks can be copied by anyone — just by using some of the few simple tricks outlined on this page.
Celebrities Without Makeup
We hardly ever see stars without makeup. However, some can pull it off. Check out the photo of Beyonce without makeup. Beyonce is one of the few celebs that can go without makeup and still look great!

There seems to be a new celebrity diet secret published in every new magazine that my wife gets each week. I am always amused to see what the next crazy diet will consist of. For some reason, they expect us to believe that because they are celebrities, they can get in shape faster than the regular Joe. It is really a bunch of nonsense and is only put in these magazines because it sells. People love the celebrities and if they can follow a diet plan that makes them look like their favorite star, this is all the better.
People are people and regardless of how famous you are, you still need to follow the basic rules of weight loss. Your fat cells don’t care what team you play for, how well you can sing, or how many Oscars you have won. If you don’t consistently cut your calories, you are not going to lose weight and keep it off. So many actors look great for the movie role that they play but look far less impressive year around.
If you are looking to lose weight and stay in shape all the time, you should forget about what the celebrities do and learn the proper way to eat and exercise. This way you can lose the fat and get in the best shape of your life without depending on a fad diet or crazy weight loss plan that is not designed for long term fat loss. A lot of the stars will go to the extreme to look good for an upcoming movie role, only to gain the weight back after wards. You would be better off to take a long term approach and stay in great shape year around.
Whether you are a celebrity or a car mechanic down the road, weight loss and a great body are achieved the same way. If you consistently burn more calories than you use each day and follow a proper resistance program to maintain the muscle that you have, you will soon look better than the stars that you so adore.

Every time you see a movie or look through different magazines and gossip spreads, it’s easy to think that famous people don’t have hair loss issues. What some people fail to see is that behind the camera, they have to deal with something as common as baldness too. The secret of these famous personalities is simple. If they think their careers would be affected by their receding hairline, all they have to do is to get a celebrity hair transplant in order to eliminate the problem.
If you have followed these celebrities closely, you might have noticed that some of these actors’ face shapes and hairlines have changed through the years. Getting a celebrity hair transplant is normal in the entertainment industry since they have to make sure that they look well presented and that they will still be pleasing to the eyes of the press and their fans.
Their choice of cosmetic surgeons is fairly good especially since doctors in the Hollywood area are quite skillful and experience in the field. The best thing about these surgeons is the fact that they tend to be very discreet. Most of their clients are looking for privacy and as a result, they take pride in making sure that these stars will get them. Some clinics would even go as far as offer home consultations because it is more discreet and convenient to their clients.
There are many options available for celebrities since they have access to the best hair stylists. Unfortunately, they are always in the public eye and what they wear and what they look like would probably come out the day after they step out of their homes. Rather than settle for options like fake hair pieces, transplants are better since they can’t wear wigs at all times. Example, when a celebrity goes to the beach, wigs can really be bothersome. They can’t enjoy themselves unless they won’t care about how they’ll look like in the paparazzi’s snapshots.
Celebrity hair transplant have become a more acceptable choice for balding stars. Years ago, there were some risks involve. Fortunately, some medical studies have come up with safer and certainly better ways to do this procedure.
