Contrary to popular belief, you do not have to have your own professional makeup artist employed at your home to keep you looking beautiful. There are some Hollywood makeup secrets that you can use to your advantage and help you look like the stars in no time at all.
One of the first tips that you will want to follow is the concealer that the stars use. You can hide minor imperfections with different colored
concealer.
There is the ever popular skin toned concealer which helps to hide small blemishes as well as birthmarks and possibly blotchy spots. You can use the colored concealer such as the yellow or green ones.
These help to conceal dark circles under the eyes as well as evening out the skin color where red blotchy spots are, prior to putting on your foundation.
The next step is to choose a very good foundation. This can help to give you that porcelain look that the stars have. If you go with a foundation that isn't the right color you can give your self a pasty look.
It is best to go with a foundation one shade lighter than your natural skin tone for the best results. Most foundations can be tailored to your skin type whether it is oily or dry or a combo of both.
Mascara is an important choice as well. You can now get mascara that will make your lashes appear fuller and longer to help you brighten your eyes up. You need to be sure to remove your makeup each night especially the mascara.
If you leave the mascara build up it can cause your lashes to break, making it difficult to wear any mascara at all.
You can make or break your Hollywood look with your eyes so you want to be sure to get this part down good.
You can go with a subtle look with neutral tones, keeping the natural effect in place or you could go for a more dramatic look for evening hours or when you are planning a night out on the town.
Either way, you want to be sure to avoid smudges with eyeliner and mascara as this will take away from the effect that you are going for. For your cheeks go with a light shade as the dark shades can look cheap and make your face look washed out.
You can use lip liner to help make your lips fuller before putting on your lipstick. Try to go with shades that complement your skin and stay away from the ones that make you look pale. Some women can wear reds well where as others it makes them appear very pale and washed out.
Be sure to finish off your look with a dusting of a translucent powder to set your makeup in place. The powder can help to hold your look all day as well as helping to avoid the shine that you will get if you tend to have oily skin.
