Celebrities are always expected to look immaculate. From minimalistic to glamorous red carpet makeup looks, they can pull anything off.

Moreover, top Bollywood celebrities who look beautiful even without makeup, like Alia Bhatt and Deepika Padukone, are showing us that a fresh-faced glow is not so out of reach.
But there is a secret behind all those paparazzi photos of actresses who look flawless without makeup – they are never entirely barefaced. They use a few tricks to highlight their best features. Such is the power of celebrity makeup.

Many celebrities are entering the beauty business with promising makeup products. Some notable celebrities and their brands are Fenty Beauty and Fenty Skin by Rihanna, Rare Beauty by Selena Gomez, Haus Labs by Lady Gaga, Kylie Cosmetics and Kylie Skin by Kylie Jenner, Honest Beauty by Jessica Alba, and Florence by Mills by Millie Bobby Brown
Some of the most popular makeup trends among celebrities are feathered laminated brows, bleached brows, dewy glass skin, bright waterline, glitter eyeshadow, and nose blush or sunburn blush.
The secret to long-lasting, flawless makeup lies in a perfectly set base and a premium-quality setting spray. The base – comprising primer, foundation, and concealer – must be blended well and set using a setting spray. Spritz a bit of setting spray after each layer of makeup till the finishing touches.
While each celebrity has their own preferred makeup brand, some popular brands among them are Georgio Armani Beauty, Too Faced, MAC, Anastasia Beverly Hills, NARS, and Bobbi Brown.
The cameras on the red carpet can catch every imperfection, so it is essential for celebrities to nail their makeup look. Expert celebrity makeup artists suggest powdering the oily areas of the face, especially the T-zone. They also recommend applying foundation to the center of the face first, then blending it out toward the edges for natural-looking coverage. Also, a shiny pout looks great on the red carpet, but the lips need to be lined with a matte lip pencil to keep the lipstick from bleeding.
Every celebrity will agree that a flawless makeup look begins with a good skin care routine that starts with intense moisturization in the morning and ends with thorough cleansing before bed. A monochrome look works perfectly for a “no-makeup” red carpet look, where your eyelids, cheeks, and lips are done up with the same shade. Apply highlighter on the high points of your face to give it some radiance and go for a bit of blush for a youthful appearance.
