All makeup artists agree that the best way to emphasize the best facial feature is through colors. Playing around with color palettes also gives you a license to experiment on what would work best for your skin tone and facial features. Before indulging into a colorful makeover, take a look at the vivid makeup of some famous celebrity makeup icons and pick some inspiration from them:
Kate Beckinsale – Green eye makeup
Kate Beckinsale’s radiant beauty is very alluring. Her vibrant makeup can serve as muse to women who are not afraid to experiment with bold and vivid colors. The stunning green eye makeup of Kate gives us a foretaste of her penchant for outrageous glamour. To create those astounding green eyes of Kate, use beige eyeliner to outline the shape of your eyes. Next, choose the best green eye shadow shade that best match your eye color and apply it on your lids. The finishing touch to this glamorous colorful green eye makeup is a generous coating of mascara on the lashes.
Drew Barrymore – gorgeous red lip
Drew Barrymore is another divinely beautiful celebrity who is not afraid to dabble with bright vivid colors. At times she is seen with very sexy smokey eyes but in a lot of instances, she wears a barely – there makeup with only her red luscious lips as the emphasis. This is very reminiscent of fashion icons of the past such as Marilyn Monroe. Adopt the age old favorite of bright red lips by choosing a red shade that is most appropriate for your skin tone. For this type of makeup, the eyes are almost bare to ensure that the center of attention is the lips. Plump the lips further by applying a soothing lip balm.
Audrina Patridge – light pink eye makeup
Audrina Patridge could very well vie for the definitive beauty icon of the decade. She is forever wearing beautiful makeup whenever and wherever she goes earning her the admiration of one and all. For this makeup, Audrina directs her feminine charm into a modish and low-key light pink eye makeup. You can get this super alluring look by highlighting your eyes with black eyeliner, pinky shade eye shadow on the lids and finish the look with rich mascara on your lashes.

Red lips and tousled hair are good starting points for a sexy and alluring look, but there is much more to it than just that. It also involves moderation, polish and the indescribable skill to make it look effortless and natural. In that vein, here are several sexy and easy makeup looks that are also speedy to create:
Sexy glossy lips
Apply lipstick with the same tone as your natural lip color and make your lips appear super glossy by applying gloss or clear balm
Healthy glowing skin
It is not only your facial skin that needs to look healthy and glowing. Any exposed skin such as the arms, neck and legs should have the same healthy glow. Good body oil will make your skin look dewy, smooth and temptingly supple.
Sexpot lips
Every woman is a potential sexpot and the right blend of lipstick will easily make you one. The secret is to get the colors right; two swipes of red lipstick is too much like a harlot while double orange is a little bit gross. But mix red and orange and see if you don’t get that sexpot lips.
Golden lids
It takes a truly daring and bold woman to get away with eyelids in vivid gold shadows, not pale copper or safe bronze but pure gold that is super sexy and easy.
Lolita glow
The naturally pink cheeks ala “Lolita” is sweet and wholesomely sexy and is very easy to fake with a rosy cream blush rubbed on the apples of the cheeks.
Sweet pink lips
Those demure but sexy pink lips can easily be achieved with a light pink lipstick blotted slightly to make it look more natural
Smokey eyes
Smokey eyes give that sexy cone-hither look and this you can easily have with the use of black pencil eyeliner, cream eyeliner and powder eye shadow. Trace the lash line first with black pencil liner followed by cream eyeliner and lightly blend and smudge the two together with cotton swab or brush, then brush black cream and powder eye shadow on the lids up to the crease, blending it vigorously as you go.

Not all makeup colors are becoming for all women. When a woman wears a makeup color that is not right for her hair color and skin tone, the result is rather unflattering. To achieve your goal of looking beautiful, the very reason why you wear makeup, you have to make sure that you wear the right makeup that match your hair color and skin tone. Take note of the following tips on what makeup color works best with different hair colors and skin tone and embrace it as your guide for a lovelier you in your makeup!
If You are a Blonde – Makeup Tips for Blonde Hair Color
If you are a natural blond, your skin tone as well as your eye color is very light. Any bold, bright dramatic colors will look harsh and garish on you. The best look for you is the natural look. Eye makeup color could be brown eyeliner and bronze, copper or taupe eye shadow while blush colors should be subtle pinks and peaches. A light application of bronzer will give the skin a healthier glow. For lipstick, choose lipstick with lighter colors but if you want to go for darker colors, apply a frosted lip gloss to soften the color.
If You are a Brunette – Makeup Tips for Brunette Hair Color
If you are a brunette then you’re lucky, brunettes have the widest choice of color when it comes to makeup. Since brown hair covers such a wide range of shades, the choice of colors is equally wider. Women with lighter shades of brown hair should go for lighter colors while those with darker shades can carry off darker and bolder colors. What brunettes should avoid are peach toned foundation or blusher but should go for a neutral base that closely match the skin tone. Dark brown, charcoal, navy, black and smoky blue eyeliners are brunettes’ best choices. For eye shadows, again, brunettes have a whole spectrum of color to choose , but light tawny and warm brown shades will look extra super, so do lavender, plum and pink shades. Red lipstick is flattering for most brunettes so is dark rose or pink lipstick. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Lovely Makeup Style
Control the oil
Oily skin is one of the worst enemies of makeup. To control shine on your skin, always keep a blotting paper on hand. But an unusual way to slick the oil is by putting deodorant on a finger tip and pats it under the eyes and t-zone to generate a matte look.
Use colored eyeliner for bigger brighter eyes
Black eyeliner has a tendency to close the eyes and make it look smaller since dark colors diminish the eyes. Changing your black eyeliner to a softer color such as brown or even indigo, olive green or plum will make the eyes look brighter and bigger.
Add aloe to sheer out foundation
Adding aloe to foundation makes it more translucent and sheer. Aloe the size of half a pea will make a lot of difference to your makeup. You can even apply aloe direct to your face while it is still damp, and then spread out a thin foundation and you will have a dewy natural skin for summer.
Define your brows
Make your eyes stand out by defining your brows with the use of powder shadow on the entire brow with emphasis given on the center arc of the brow. This is the highest point of the brow and emphasizing it with powder eye shadow will draw people’s eyes and make it look bigger. Use eye shadows that match with your hair color and apply it with a brow brush. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS

Lauren Conrad Cute Makeup Looks
• The key to the fresh natural look of Lauren is a flawless complexion achieved with an expertly applied foundation or moisturizer. The key to that effortlessly gorgeous natural look is to thoroughly blend the foundation all over the face. Make sure that there are no tell-tale demarcation lines around the hairline and jaw line.
• To make the cheeks pop like that of Lauren, apply an apricot blush with a downy powder blush over the cheekbones and bronzers, like the M.A.C. golden Bronzer for that sun kissed cheeks. Since this bronzer has a little shimmer in it, the glow and radiance on Lauren’s cheeks is made deeper.
• To achieve that smokey cat eyes, rim the upper lash line with a softened black eyeliner pencil or liquid black eyeliner starting from the inner corner of the eyes gradually making the line thicker towards the outer corner and flip the line upward at the end of the line to get that cat eye look. Lauren’s eyes are also lushly lashed, and you get this with false lashes.
• Lips are also natural looking, no lip liner, only lipstick with a pink-mauve tone and a bit of lip gloss, keep a light hand on the gloss to make the lips look moist.
• Although Lauren has said that she is not very fond of eye shadows, she is seen sometimes sporting glistening lids. This look can be achieved with Kitten eye shadow by Stila. It is a simple and stylish color that will look great on anyone. Photos Copyright of PR PHOTOS
