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

5 Hair Tips from Professional Stylist

Here are 5 quick tips to have your looking like you just came from the salon:

• The trick to getting that thin piece of hair to stay wrapped around a ponytail elastic is to slide a bobby pin through the end of the small piece and then roll the bobby pin upward toward the elastic (like you would roll hair up in a curler). Slide the pin in under the hair elastic to secure the piece. - Craig Carter, hair stylist
• Want this '40s-inspired loose curl? Curl two-inch sections with a 1-inch curling iron and pin at the scalp. Spray with flexible-hold hairspray and wait 30 minutes. Then remove the pins and comb out - but be gentle or you'll create static and pouf. - Gianni Rostti, stylist for Warren Tricomi
• Even flat hair can have extreme volume with a few simple steps. Start by misting a styling spray that volumizes (like Paul Mitchell Extra Body Finishing Spray, $14.95, at salons) throughout hair. Then use a small (1-inch) curling iron to create curls all over your head. Let the curls cool completely, then brush hair out and back comb or tease for even more volume. Finish with hairspray. - Sean James, hair stylist
• For a sleek but non-greasy looking ponytail, smooth frizzies by gliding a matte sculpting wax, like ghd Sculpting Wax Matte Finish, $26 over the top layer of hair before securing it into a ponytail. - Craig Carter, hair stylist
• You can achieve soft, touchable curls in one of three ways: pin curls, hot rollers or braids. (For pin curls, roll hair up and secure each curl with clips or bobby pins, then blow-dry.) Let hair set for as long as possible, then take down and secure curls with a light hairspray. - Hasblady Guzman, hair stylist for Aveda
