What are some makeup tricks that celebrity artist’s use ?
- You can use a moisturizer to prep face and body for makeup. Moisturizer is key to getting a dewy makeup look..
2. Use concealer and pressed powder as an eyeshadow primer. There are plenty of amazing eyeshadow primers at the cosmetic’s counter for your eyeliner choice.
Blush
Why not add your favorite blush to the cheeks before you apply foundation for a glow that looks like it’s coming from beneath the skin. A bright, warm pink at the apple is perfect for any complexion… “Apply two shades of blush for the perfect flush of youth. Pink, or anything in the red family should be placed on the apple of the cheek; it will give the effect of blood coming to the surface.
Peach, coral, or anything in the orange family should be applied to the highest point of the cheekbone; that gives the effect of heat rising. Finish by bringing a matte bronzer to the skin where sun hits the face (forehead, cheekbone, bridge of nose, and chin). says celebrity makeup artist James Vincent.
When you need your blush to stay put for hours on end, layer a gel formula under a powder or bronzer.”
Foundation
-
- Mix foundation with moisturizer to lighten the coverage if you have a fuller coverage foundation and if you want to make the foundation heavier , mix in some loose powder, but not too much or it will cake.
Before completing the look, add a light dusting of blush to the crease around the temples, to bring it all together, “For a luminous skin effect, mix your foundation with a golden or a pearly white eye shadow. It gives your complexion a radiance beyond compare. “If you’re skin is extremely oily and you don’t have face primer handy, just apply a little corn starch to your skin before your foundation.”
Your complexion products (foundation, concealer, etc.) should match the inside of your arm, not the back of your hand.
EYES
Use the handle of a brush to lift the eyelid at the base of the lashes to roll your lashes up and back; this allows you to wiggle the mascara wand against the base of the lashes and pull through any clumps in a clean and precise manner.

“My favorite ‘look younger’ makeup tip is to first use a luminizer in the inner corner, then swoop it with a fan brush underneath the eye. This brightens the face.” —Deanna celebrity makeup artist.
Lipstick
“If you want to find the perfect red for your complexion, try applying one lip color that has the same undertone as your complexion all over the lip: Cool uses cool, warm uses warm. Apply a red with the opposite tone just to the center for a lip that looks full and fantastic.”
Dab a color corrector all over lips to neutralize the lip tone and to make the lip color more vibrant.” —Petra Strand
“Test lipstick on the inside of your fingertip, rather than on the back of your hand. The pad of your finger closely resembles your own lip color, so see which one looks best there, then move to the lips.” —Kerry Cole, style director of Becca Cosmetics
“Use a flesh-toned eyeliner to outline the lips along the Cupid’s bow. This reduces the chance of feathering and makes lips appear fuller.” —Petra Strand
