7 Makeup Tips from Professional Makeup Aritst

So you want to look like you just stepped off the runway or fresh out the set of a movie? Here are 7 makeup tips from a few makeup artist.
  • Get this vintage-y, super-rich lip color to last all day by applying lipstick with a lip brush and topping with a coat of translucent powder, three times in a row. It won't budge. You can top with gloss if you'd like. - Amy Nadine, head makeup artist for Mark
  • For a full brow look, even if you've over plucked, grab brow powder in a shade that matches your brows and a brow brush. Start by brushing brows up, then fill in with powder under the arch for a more pronounced look. - Sharon Gault, makeup artist
  • If you don't know what you're going to wear, keep makeup simple, clean and not too done. Try applying a touch of an earthy color (such as sage green) on the lids and keeping the rest of the face neutral. - Lisa O'Connor, makeup artist
  • To make skin glow as if you've been drinking 10 glasses of water a day, highlight cheekbones with a frosted off-white shadow. - Gregory Arlt, makeup artist for MAC
  • To tone down a too bright cheek stain, apply a touch of foundation over the stain to give cheeks a more subtle flush finish, like you just pinched your cheeks. - Lori Taylor, Smashbox Regional Training Executive
  • Under sweltering conditions, don't continuously powder your face as you do your makeup or the result will look cakey. Wait until just before you're ready to go out, then blot excess moisture and set with powder. - Lisa O'Connor, makeup artist
  • If you want a matte lip look without buying a new shade, simply dust a bit of powder over your lipstick to tone down the shine. - Sharon Gault, makeup artist for Smashbox
