Eight beauty hacks from your favorite celebrity makeup artists

With mattified skin quickly becoming a thing of the past, most celebrities have been seen rocking a dewy, youthful-looking aesthetic. TikTok influencer @arevceline revealed a few trade secrets on obtaining this satiny look, and the key is using a skin tint. Start by using an extremely hydrating primer, like the Becca Backlight Primer or the Elf Poreless Primer, as an inexpensive alternative. Then, follow with the Charlotte Tilbury Flawless Filter — a must-have for most celebrity MUAs. Follow with a lightweight skin tint, like the Lottie London Velvet Tint, then blend everything with a damp beauty blender.

TikToker @yannalinnaa revealed that applying a thick strip of black liner on your upper lash line will instantly make your lashes look fuller and longer. Kohl eyeliner pencils have been around since the Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse and blue eyeshadow phase. The hack works to offer the illusion that your lashes begin further down by concealing the upper lash line altogether. Makeup artist to the stars Jillian Dempsey reportedly uses this technique on Jennifer Lawrence and Emilia Clarke.

A trade secret that Wayne Goss (@therealgossmakeupartist) likes to use involves wrapping a piece of tissue paper, like normal Kleenex tissues, around a wet beauty blender to soak up oil. Although this may sound strange, the trend has been hailed as a foolproof method of oil-blotting all over TikTok, with the ‘Top Liked’ video receiving a massive 778.8K likes 88.6K views - by influencer @lil_xxtra.

Kim Kardashian’s makeup artist @ariel, shared how they achieved the simmering red carpet look for the Oscars Vanity Fair event. It’s super quick and simple. In a viral TikTok video, the makeup expert revealed that Kim wanted to achieve a clean, minimal look with a slight 60s influence, which led to a Rare Beauty cream bronzer as eyeshadow. The overall aesthetic was understated yet smoldering, and you can catch the bronzer yourself. You can use the versatile tool for a dramatic evening look or a subtle pop of shimmer in the daytime.

Makeup artist @jaclynforbes shares a celebrity beauty secret used by Zendaya, Khloe Kardashian, Hailey Bieber, Beyonce, and Meghan Markle, which is applying the Aquaphor Healing Ointment on your lips and skin before bed. Deeply hydrating, the balm works to drench your skin in moisture, allowing you to wake up with a lit-from-within glow.

Actress and singer Selena Gomez has shared that she suffers from dark under-eye skin, especially in the mornings. A product she swears by is First Aid Beauty’s Eye Duty Triple Remedy, which comes equipped with a cooling tip to help de-puff the skin. The coolness is vital here, as micro-influencer @aminakskincare highlighted in a video (that received 14.3K liked) showcasing the benefits of ‘ice facials,’ which many models and actresses have been said to love. So, time to whip out the ice trays and get freezing!

Do you ever feel like your face is too dry or irritated after your morning skincare routine? This could be because using all of your products twice a day is stripping your base of hydration. South Korean actress Son Ye-jin credits her flawlessly dewy skin with skipping her morning cleanse and instead just using tap water. Skincare expert and TikToker @glowwithava also disclosed that only washing her face with water in the morning was one of her beauty secrets - and what is more accessible than that?

Skincare guru and queen of the sparkle, @glowwithava, revealed a top-secret tip for a sleek, cutting jawline that involves facial exercises - something many of us may not have even considered. The TikToker, whose instructional video received a whopping 113.4K likes, stated that the best method was to use a large metal spoon, as they are the heaviest—placing the tip in your mouth, attempting to lift the spoon 30 times using just your lips. Finally, use the spoon head to smooth your jawline, 30 times on each side.
