We found a great article on different celebrity makeup styles. Obviously, every woman is unique and has her own style and makeup preferences. So it makes sense that we’re inspired by our favorite celebs and their makeup looks. Our styles are definitely dramatic and classic. Rihanna, Beyonce, and Eva Longoria are our dramatic divas whose makeup we LOVE. And the classic makeup, timeless beauties we adore are Angelina Jolie and Halle Barry.

At first, it seems that dramatic and classic are complete opposites. But for us, it’s fun to mix and match different looks. Classic makeup is ideal for a sophisticated daytime look, while dramatic is perfect and sexy for the fun party nights. We might even do Natural, Romantic, and Ingenue styles sometimes based on our mood or outfit.
A Natural makeup style like Jennifer Gardner works for everyday casual, while Ingenue makeup like Kate Hudson is angelic for springtime (or blondes). Romantic makeup could work for day or night, depending on your coloring, outfit, or preference.
What’s your celebrity makeup style and who inspires your makeup?

Have you seen Madonna in her “4 Minutes” video with Justin Timberlake and Timbaland? Madonna is music royalty, a living legend, and she looks unbelievably fabulous for her age. Madge looks great–we love that song! Sure, there are probably computerized touch-ups and plastic surgery but even so…she looks smokin’! We LOVE Madonna for as long as we can remember!

Thanks to BellaSugar for inspiring this post with their full makeup look for Madonna’s “4 Minutes” celebrity makeup look in her new video. We’d add the following to their great tips to get Madge’s vampy video look:
Eyebrows: Use a small angled makeup brush to lightly apply powder to eyebrows in a shade that matches your natural color. Tap the brush and fill in your brows with a light hand.
Eyes: Add false eyelashes if you’d like more length or fullness. Curl your eyelashes in 3 parts with an eyelash curler–by the root, middle and tips of your lashes. We recommend Shu Uemera eyelash curlers and MAC eyelashes.
Blush: For oily or combination skin, you might want to use a powder blush or bronzer instead of a cream or liquid based one. It’ll stay longer and adhere to your skin bettter. We adore MAC powder bronzers for a natural sun-kissed look.
After you get Madonna’s celebrity makeup look, get her music or go to her concert. (We’ve been singing “4 Minutes” in our head for days now–too catchy!) Tickets are now available for Madonna’s latest concert tour. Are you going to her concert?
