Celebrity make-up looks have long fascinated people throughout history. Many feel as if they are unattainable because they require professionals, expensive products, and top-secret techniques to create. However, the majority of the well-known CELEBRITY MAKEUP looks can actually be fairly straightforward and completed at home by anyone targeting the right techniques and possessing a little self-assurance. From novice make-up wearers who are just beginning their journey into using cosmetics to those who are continuing to work towards honing their craft, this guide will breakdown realistic adaptations of well-known looks made popular by celebrities.
At Thecolorpallete by Safa Rastham we want you to have the opportunity to utilise make-up as an empowering, FUN and approachable experience. So let’s explore CELEBRITY MAKEUP looks you can achieve and feel comfortable replicating at home!
Defined Brows and Natural Lashes
The signature looks of many celebrities is defined brows and natural, youthful lashes. The focus of these looks is to frame and shape the face without adding heavy hues and dramatic contouring. This makes them a perfect fit for everyday wear, as well as quick application routines.
Celebrities usually use lash extensions to achieve thicker-looking lashes with minimal effort, while creating sharp, gently defined brow forms to enhance facial structure. The goal of this makeup is to have defined brows and lashes; not create drama. The research concerning beauty trends shows that the rise of brow-centered makeup routines is continuing, as women are looking for simple yet impactful ways to enhance their appearance.
Want a quick tip? Keep your brows looking as natural as possible, and avoid going overboard with filling them in. When applying mascara, focus on separating the lashes and giving them some lift to open up the eyes and keep a fresh look, without the added heaviness of makeup.
Celebrity's classic red-carpet glow
Celebrities are known for their glowing skin and there is something special about how they achieve this look through their makeup application. Celebrities are not putting multiple layers of makeup to create this effect, but rather by using strategic placement of product and prepping the skin in a healthy way. Hydration, soft blending and subtle highlights are the keys to achieving this look.
To get the celebrity glow at home, you should be applying products that create a natural looking glow without overloading your skin with shimmer. When applying highlight products on the high points of your face, you are creating light reflection, which instantly brightens up your overall appearance. Because of this, celebrities have gravitated towards glow-focused formulas to use under all types of lighting to provide dimension and youthfulness.
Insider tip: Many makeup artists claim that skin prep is over 60% of the final product; therefore, do not skip the skin prep step.
Bold Eyes/Soft Skin
This look is a classic among many celebrities who pair smokey eyes or thick eyeliner with very light/few makeup applications on their skin. The offence of this look is that it juxtaposes the boldness of the eyes with the softness of the ambiguity. The trick here is to create a balance using clean blending and control.
Bold is best for all features. When bolding your eyes, it’s best to keep the face as natural (meaning skin colour) and lips as neutral as possible. This approach is universally popular among many stars attending special events, as it draws attention while still looking classy and elegant.
Beginner’s Tip: Start slowly with soft colours, then build on intensity; starting with low intensity makes adding additional colour easier than removing.
Fresh Dewy Look for the Daytime
Dewy makeup is also popular with many celebrities when making morning appearances, interviews, or on the go to/from the airport. Dewy makeup projects a healthy-looking complexion with minimal product on the skin, natural texture, and light coverage.
All skin types and ages can wear this fresh dewy look because there is nothing “contoured” or “sharp” about this look. Applying soft blush, very lightly defining your eyes, and keeping lips hydrated gives a long-lasting youthful finish with ease of maintenance over the course of the day.
Interesting Fact: According to a recent survey, the condition of skin being “pure” is more popular than “matte.” Over 50% of women will choose a natural looking glow versus matte almost every time they choose a product.
Makeup with a Statement Lip!
A statement lip is a quick way to add sophistication to any look. Celebrities often choose to wear bold lips for maximum effect with a minimal amount of effort. A red lipstick or dark nude color paired with a clean makeup look will always create an eye-catching combination.
With a statement lip, keep the eyes simple, the brows groomed and the skin even. When you have all of this balance, it allows the lips to remain front and centre and not compete with other features.
Professional Insight: Sharp edges on the lips are very important to creating the finished look…creating definition around the lips creates an overall precision, therefore producing a polished, celebrity-like appearance.
Soft Glam for Special Events
Soft glam is a hybrid of both natural and dramatic! That makes it a perfect look for special events, such as weddings, parties, or evening gatherings. Celebrities prefer this look due to how well it translates under varying lighting conditions.
Warm tones, soft defined features, and seamless blending have become the signature traits of soft glam looks. Most face shapes and skin tones will be flattered by soft glam and it is often worn by both professional makeup artists and makeup wearers.
Practice Tip: Taking pictures under different lighting conditions will help see how your makeup looks under different light sources. This is a technique used by many professionals.
How Celebrity Makeup Can be Used by All
When we think of celebrity makeup, it is not just about replicating their look; it’s about learning to balance technique, confidence, and personal style. The aim is to enhance an individual’s natural beauty instead of taking away from it. Therefore, the key is to learn why you want to achieve the look and the importance of your interpretation rather than simply trying to match the celebrity’s look.
At Thecolorpallete by Safa Rastham, we want to help you learn how to interpret trends to fit your personality, lifestyle, and level of comfort.
