How Your Favorite Celebs and Influencers Do Their Makeup
Social media is filled with pictures and videos of perfect makeup looks from your favorite influencers and celebrities. Trying to replicate these looks can be daunting, especially once we realize how many products they use and the help they might be getting from professional makeup artists. Dewy skin, perfect brows, and effortless color matches for lipsticks, blushes, and more. The biggest issue is where to start. We’re breaking down the basics to achieving a celebrity or influencer-caliber makeup look.
Of course, not every look you see on social media, television, and in magazines can be recreated. Filters, editing, and of course the fact that everyone has different skin types play a role.
Products Matter
The products you use matter, but not necessarily in the way you think. You don’t have to break the bank to get that perfect look. Of course, your favorite celebrities and influencers will be seen using name-brand products with high recognition, the kinds that fly off the shelves; think of Alix Earle selling out Drunk Elephant’s bronzing drops after she was seen using the product in her “Get Ready With Me” TikToks. Focus more on what the product does or the active ingredients to find affordable versions.
You might be surprised to learn the amount of makeup you use can drastically alter a look. For some types of natural makeup, the kind that creates clear skin, a perfect blush or contour that almost looks natural, more makeup might make the look. Usually, when we think of natural makeup looks, we think of minimal coverage, less eye makeup, and overall fewer products.
If you’re not confident in your makeup ability, not sure where to begin, or want the same caliber of help and advice celebrities and influencers get to achieve their picture-perfect looks, book a session with one of our stylists. StyldLife has makeup artists who have experience doing celebrity makeup looks, from the red carpet to television and every camera-ready moment.
Color matches are a game changer.
Having a foundation or cover-up that matches your skin shade is a game changer. Getting color matched can be difficult, whether you’re trying to match your face color versus your neck and chest, or if you’re trying to figure out what shade matches you best in bad lighting. The right shade for a foundation will help you create a healthy and flawless look to your skin and will match with your undertone. This can help with making it seem like you have less makeup than you have on. The top two tips to keep in mind are matching your foundation to your neck and chest, and making sure the foundation works with your undertone.
While we’ll never get that airbrushed look celebrities and influencers have thanks to editing tools and filters, it doesn’t mean we can get a naturally flawless makeup look like the pros achieve. If you’re having trouble reaching that perfect makeup look you’re striving for, book a StyldLife session to get personalized advice from celebrity stylists and dive through our other beauty content.
