Celebrity Make Up Tips from Today’s Hottest Stars

The next time you find yourself longing for lips like Angelina Jolie or a figure like Scarlet Johansen, just remember that behind every beautiful smile and perfect cheekbones these stars have some of the world's best makeup artists a their beckoned call.

Professional make up artists use the best techniques and best beauty products to produce the results you see on the red carpet. Beauty may be only skin deep, but it takes years and years of training and practice to perfect the art of turning a face into an Vogue-ready makeup masterpiece.

If you've found yourself spending a fortune on eyeliners, makeup creams, mascara, concealer, and any other product supposed to make you look like a movie star, you are not alone. The makeup industry is a multi-billion dollar market where almost every celebrity and beauty expert sells their own special products. But unless you know how to use these products, the results can look as dull (or gaudy) if you just would have stuck with that $2 makeup kit from the drug store.

Here are some expert makeup secrets from today's most beautiful women in Hollywood.

Super Sexy Naturally Plump Lips

Makeup artist Matthew Van Leeuwen uses a wet wash cloth to exfoliate the beautifully full lips on Scarlet Johansson's with horizontal strokes. Doing this increases the circulation to the lips and as more blood flows into the lips, the plump effect is increase even more. After plumping, he applies gloss as the finishing touch.

Best Starlit Glowing Eyes

Kate Hudson's makeup artist, Leslie Lopez, tells us that smoky eyes - though sexy and in fashion - are overkill for fair-skinned gals. Instead of going overboard on the dark colors, Leslie uses a pale gold shadow and gray eyeliner. The result is still sexy but more subtle and classy.


Best Celebrity Foundation

Celebrities all over are raving over Laura Mercier Foundation. Foundation is usually applied with a sponge for the most natural looking coverage. Celebrity makeup artists know the importance of keeping your face moist and vibrant, so they use a foundation primer on top of a facial moisturizer before applying the foundation itself with a sponge. This process ensures that the skin looks refined and keeps the foundation holding all day.

Best Celebrity Blush

Make up artists agree that Nars and Stila blushes are some of the best on the market, and they're very affordable! Although these are powder blushes, some artists prefer gel blush because of the health glow it leaves on the face. Blush should always be applied with a big, fluffy clean brush.

Best Celebrity Concealer

Amazing Cosmetics' Amazing Concealer is favored by many celebrity makeup artists. Concealer is best applied with an eye shadow brush in thin layers which can be built up to ensure complete concealing of the blemish. For really red blemish spots, many cosmetic artists use a green concealer first which helps to tone down the redness before applying foundation.
