Tip 1:
Lipliner isn't evil. (Especially these best ones.) Many of us have kept away, because hey, "Drag queens give it a bad rap," says makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury. But done right, it's the best way to make lips look more symmetrical, which is especially important when wearing red lipstick.
Tip 2:
If you curled your hair with an iron, but it turned out a little Shirley Temple-esque, pin it in a bun and let it set for 15 minutes. The result? Soft waves. -- Rodney Cutler, hairstylist and owner of Cutler Salon.
Tip 3:
So tired of the same ole black nail polish? Dilute it with a thin clear topcoat like CND Stickey for a totally new sheer gunmetal gray color. --Wanda Ruiz, nail salon owner
Tip 4:
After flat ironing hair, tame annoying flyways: Spritz on shine serum (try Tresemme No Frizz Ultra Light Shine Spray) and, clamping your flat iron closed, run the side edge of it over the top of your hair. -- Paul Hanlon, hairstylist for GHD.
Tip 5:
Layer your favorite mascaras for multiple effects. Put a volumizing formula (try Maybelline New York The Colossal Volum' Express Mascara) on first to fatten up lashes and finish with a coat of lengthening mascara (try Estee Lauder Lash XL Maximum Length Mascara), which has a shinier finish and adds extra length. -- Charlotte Willer, Maybelline New York global makeup artist.
Tip 6:
When lining eyes with gel liner, hold the brush flat (length-wise) on your lid as you draw the line. Only use the tip of the brush as you reach the outer corner of the eye to extend the line. -- Gregory Arlt, MAC makeup artist
Tip 7:
When choosing an under eye concealer shade, pick one with a touch of warmth to it. It will cover dark circles without looking gray. -- Charlotte Willer, Maybelline New York global makeup artist
Tip 8:
Plan to create an updo or ponytail? Take the time to prep hair by blow-drying with a flat or round brush. You'll get a more polished finish and won't have to wash your hair again for another three or so days. -- Peter Gray, hairstylist
Tip 9:
Create gorgeous beach-y waves in four easy steps: First, spritz curl-refreshing spray generously through hair. Next, tightly twist two-inch sections of hair all over and secure bobby pins. Heat twists with a diffuser while pinching each of them until dry. Finally, unravel twists and spritz with finishing spray while scrunching. -- Allen Ruiz, hairstylist for Avon
Tip 10:
Line your inner rims with gel liner (try Bobbi Brown Long Wear Gel Eyeliner) instead of pencil for a longer lasting look. Just make sure it is "ophthalmologist tested". -- Cynde Watson, makeup artist and creator of Color by Cynde Watson
Tip 11:
To create a soft wavy style, make sure your hair is very clean for ultimate shine. Product buildup can make hair look dull. Form waves by wrapping hair around a one-inch curling iron held horizontally. Brush out curls after allowing them to cool for five minutes. -- Harry Josh, hairstylist for John Frieda
Tip 12:
When choosing a highlighting cream or powder to accent cheekbones and/or brow bones and the bridge of your nose, choose a finely milled one like Shiseido The Makeup Accentuating Color Stick in S3 for a subtle effect. "You don't want to see it from space," says makeup artist Dick Page.
Tip 13:
If you decide to sport a red lip (one of the trends seen on the Fall 2009 runways) opt for a matte lipstick formula. It will stay in place longer than shinier finishes. -- Tanya Cropsey, makeup artist for Bobbi Brown
Tip 14:
You need to be generous with hair products to get the look you want. -- Peter Gray, hairstylist
Tip 15:
Even if you don't apply mascara, do curl your lashes to make your eyes look more open and awake. -- Diane Kendal, makeup artist
