From Simple to Quirky: Fifteen Celebrity Beauty Tips to Try

On the red carpet, celebrities look ethereal – flawless skin, sparkling eyes and glossy hair. They rely on a crew of makeup and hair stylists to perfect their visage, after all. And yet, just like everyone else, Hollywood stars have their own little beauty go-tos that range from simple routines to quirky habits.

Here are 15 celeb tips that you might want to steal.

MARY J. BLIGE

"Don't go a full day or night without washing your face. You have to get all the dirt and makeup out of your pores."

LIV TYLER

"After applying foundation and a little blush, dust your face with translucent powder, then mist skin with a rosewater spray and lay a Kleenex over for a second. It makes your face seem flawless in a way that looks as if you aren't wearing any makeup."

EVA MENDES

"A shimmery bronzer is the perfect way to look alive. If you don't want to wear makeup, mix some with moisturizer. You'll look pretty but not made-up."

ELLEN POMPEO

"For a smoky eye, moisturize the area first, so when you line the lid with a pencil it will smudge naturally."

ISLA FISHER

"To make lashes curl better, take a hair dryer to your eyelash curler for one or two seconds before using it."

HALLE BERRY

"To make lips look naturally pink, I put on red lipstick, wipe it off, and then apply clear gloss."

SARAH JESSICA PARKER

"I love walking into a closet and smelling lingering perfume, so I always spray my clothes. And at the end of the bottle, when the atomizer no longer reaches the tiny little dribble that is left, I unscrew the top and pour the remainder onto a t-shirt or dress."

NICOLE KIDMAN

“If you’ve got red hair, try washing it in cranberry juice. And, if you are blond, a champagne rinse can work wonders.”

JESSICA ALBA

“You should always curl your lashes. I usually do not use mascara that much unless I am looking really tired and puffy-eyed. I just curl my eyelashes and brush a little mascara on the tips.”

RACHEL BILSON

“[Vaseline] just works really well – especially when you are removing eye makeup – and it’s gentle on my skin.”

TAYLOR SWIFT

“There are tricks I’ve learned from makeup artists on shoots. They put on the red lipstick, then blot it with a tissue, then they put powder over the tissue and sort of press it onto your lips. Then re-apply. It turns it into a stain that lasts much longer.”
