Beauty Tips From Celebrities
They can shop at the most exclusive outlets, take their pick from the world's priciest beauty counters, but what do celebrities really have in their make-up bags and bathroom cabinets?
What are their beauty secrets and how can you and I benefit from what they use, what they do and what they know?
Many clues can be garnered from celebrity hair and make-up artists who often divulge their star client’s latest trend. Take for example Angelina Jolie's hairstylist who recently shared his celebrity beauty tip for adding volume to the roots of Angelina's hair. He does this with a little sprinkling of Johnson's Baby Powder and a hair dryer. He rubs baby powder into the hair’s roots, and then blows it away with a hair-drier. The powder mops up any grease from ‘second or third day hair’ and acts as an emergency dry shampoo.
Meanwhile, singer-songwriter Ashanti’s makeup artist recently told that his client is crazy about neutral or beige tone lipstick. If you have fair skin, try a beige colour with a hint of pink to it while darker skins should pick a shimmery shade of nude or brown.
According to Nicole Kidman's Hollywood makeup artist, Nicole uses baby oil to soften her skin and to make it glow - she even uses it on her eyelids to make them shimmer, while top make-up artist Agostina revealed that to makes her eyes ‘pop’ her client Mischa Barton takes a bit of powder blush (in the same shade worn on the cheeks) and brushes it over her eyebrows, from brow bones to hair line.
Charlize Theron’s makeup artist says that his client likes to accentuate her eyes with bronze shimmer lip gloss. “Just add a dab to the area right above your eyelashes,” says makeup artist Steven, “and blend with your fingers. The bronze shimmer gives your eyes a flattering glimmer.”
The latest celebrity must-haves are ‘skin illuminators’. These are pearlised shimmer creams that reflect light onto the skin. These are a great breakthrough in makeup technology because by reflecting the light they make the skin look smoother and younger. When working on famous faces, top makeup artists start with a primer, and then add a cream or lotion with a small amount of pearl essence. This is blended over the entire face or, better still, mixed it into foundation or even moisturiser. Skin illuminators are not to be confused with skin lighteners. If you’d like smoother, fairer skin, at sites like Skin Lightening Advice you’ll find the best skin lightening cream articles, guidance and information.
The beauty secrets of some celebrities are no secret at all! Take for instance Tyra Banks who on a recent episode of her talk show gave away a jar of Vaseline to each audience member. “I have moisturised my face and body with ‘Leene’ since I was a little girl,” Tyra says. “Years ago, Vaseline heard I loved their product and sent me a bling- bling jar of the product. I loved that little jar and wanted to share that with my audience. Each jar I gave to the studio audience was worth US$100 because each one was hand beaded with Swarovski crystals.”
