Actually, the first thing you need to know is this; it is MORE than just how to apply eye makeup of your star's style...

Getting the look of your favorite star requires not only getting the eye makeup right, it requires reproducing 'the mix' of all in the makeup details...because it is their combination that has created the 'look' and got your attention.

CREATING STAR POWER IS AN ART FORM...

The star power is in the special custom mix of all those extra details... Celebrities, often, hire professionals to perform this styling art for them...they  examine the celebrity's features...eyes, lips, hair, facial structure, complexion, smile, personality, fashion sense, career goals etcetera... and create a customized look that maximizes their beauty style and underscores their personality.

So what do you need to do, to get that gorgeous makeup style working for you ?

1.  Analyze the makeup style: makeup style- fresh, minimal, casual, notable, heavy?...  palette- are the colors vivid, earthy, very neutral?... eye makeup- light, low key, polished, dramatic?... brows- very groomed, natural shape, full?... cheeks- bare, natural flush, sun kissed, color?... lips- nude, natural looking color, bold?... Teeth? A critically important part of the 'mix' and if you are an actor or model, they are always at their best and mega white.
