Since forever, gorgeous Hollywood celebrities have made everyone green with jealousy at how beautiful they manage to look on any given day. But it’s important to remember that looking their best is part of their job, and that they most certainly didn’t just roll out of bed looking magnificent. The good news is that the secrets of the trade are not that mysterious after all, so read on to find out more about those beauties’ tips for when you’re on the go.
The Eyes
Ever noticed how people ask if you’re tired or have been crying on the days you have no eyeliner or mascara on? Yes. The eyes are the most important factor in looking fresh, well rested, and ready to take on the world. So, no matter where you’re going or how small your purse is, always remember to squeeze in your eyeliner. Celebrity makeup artist Quinn Murphy commented on the 2019 eyeliner trend by saying “If you’re a little rusty in the eyeliner department, it’s time to brush up on your skills. It can be a soft smudgy pencil close to the lash line, or a liquid liner that flicks out at the end.”
The Lips
You don’t have to use a fancy, expensive brand of lipstick to get that fresh celebrity look on the go. The glow of your lips actually starts with moisture; nothing looks worse than dry, chapped lips. This is why a good, reliable lip balm isn’t just a boring basic needs, it’s a necessity. Celebrity makeup artist Amber Dreadon – whose clients include Lorde, Katy Perry, and Rita Ora – speaks of her lip balm: “I always have this in my carry-on bag when flying so I can apply it before taking a nap, and my lips stay soft and smooth.” So, always have your trusty little lib palm wherever you go, and re-apply as needed. That way – whether you decide to add a bit of lip color or not – your fresh, moist, healthy lips will definitely shine through.
The Blemishes
Skin impurities and breakouts happen to pretty much everyone at some point in their lives, and celebrities are no exception. Hydration by drinking a ton of water is always a good preventive measure, and sunscreen definitely helps. Another celebrity secret is facials; Hung Vanngo who works with celebrities like Selena Gomez, Gisele Bundchen, and Emily Ratajkowski says he uses several facial treatments on his clients in preparation for red carpet events. And while regular spa facials would do the trick for some, medical facials are an excellent solution for stubborn blemishes that just keep on returning. They also offer a solid option for cleansing, toning, exfoliation and hydration for fresher younger skin. So, when the occasion arises, treat yourself to a professional facial and reap the beauty benefits for weeks to come.
The Hair
Celebrities are busy folk, are so are we… so what do we do when we have a busy day out and not enough time to go to the salon? If your hair is straight or wavy and needs a wash, opt for a ponytail – to Justine Marjan, celebrity hairstylist said “I dream of Jeannie-style ponytails.” You can also choose a high messy bun; not only are they on trend, but they also conceal imperfections and allow for a hassle free style that will last all day long. If your hair is more to the curly side, sleep with braids and enjoy beachy, bouncy locks the next day without much maintenance required.
Own It
Celebrities are people, just like us, and not free from imperfections. But with just ten minutes you can get perfectly defined eyes, moist, luscious lips, glowing skin, and an awesome hairdo to conquer your day. And remember, a little bit of confidence goes a long way.
