subject: Celebrity Beauty Products That Give You A Red Carpet Look For Less [print this page] What does it take to wal the red carpet these days? Impeccable makeup and a team of stylists. However, that doesn't mean you can't get a similar look for your next big event.
What's the secret behind maintaining a red carpet look? Choosing products that will give you a long-lasting look so you can stay in on the action instead of constantly checking the mirror.
Here are a few celebrity beauty products to choose next time you're in the spotlight!
Primer - Primer will be your number one weapon for maintaining an all-night look. Made from polymers that adhere to makeup, you'll want to put on primer after you've moisturized but before you apply your face makeup.
Once the primer bonds to the makeup, skin oils and sweat below the surface keep makeup from sliding off. You can purchase one just for layering under foundation or pick one for eyes or even lips. It's one celebrity beauty product the pro's swear by that will make you a believer!
Waterproof mascara - Waterproof mascara is definitely not for every day, but it is a great tool to have on hand for emotional events like weddings. Since it's made from a product that's formulated to stay on through a downpour, you can bet it will stay in place through a long night out.
To save yourself frustration before you go to bed, condition your lashes with at least one coat of regular mascara first. This will ensure that the waterproof stuff bonds to the mascara instead of your eyelashes.
You'll have a much easier time peeling off this celebrity beauty product when it's finally time to hit the sheets.
Long-wearing lip color - To make your lips touch-up proof, you'll want to ditch your usual lip routine in favor of a long-wearing lip color. Look for celebrity beauty products for lips with words like "long lasting" or "lip stain".
To protect your lips from these thick formulas, start by applying a conditioning lip balm. Next, use a lip pencil to define your lips.
Finally, layer on the long-wearing lipstick and add just a hint of gloss to make your lips look full. You should be able to wear the color all night with few touch-ups but take the gloss along for added shine.
