If anyone knows the secret to long-lasting, flawless makeup, it’s celebrity makeup artists. And we are here to share their makeup tips.

When it comes to makeup, the most trusted advisors are the ones whose mastery over their craft can be credited to the endless hours they have spent perfecting their techniques on the most-watched celebrity faces in their makeup chairs. So here are 5 makeup tips that we have learned from celebrity MUAs.

1. Add Vaseline to your foundation

Sonam Kapoor’s makeup artist swears by this tip. She adds a touch of Vaseline to foundation for a sheer, natural finish.

2. Pinpoint concealer method

Keira Knightley, Dua Lipa and Cara Delevingne’s makeup artist believes that one doesn’t need to apply thick layers of foundation to achieve flawless complexion. Using a full coverage concealer efficiently in small amounts is the key to gorgeous makeup application. Use a tinted moisturiser, then apply a tiny amount of concealer to cover imperfections.

3. Use facial oil to highlight

Lizzo’s makeup artist is just as obsessed with highlighter as we are. He likes to layer highlighters and for an extra glow, he uses a facial oil on the high planes of the face.

4. Apply foundation to freshly moisturised skin

Beyonce’s makeup artist recommends applying foundation over freshly moisturised skin, which means that the skin is still a little damp. This will blend everything in and the foundation will look like second skin instead of just sitting there.

5. Apply contour below your cheekbone 

Kareena Kapoor’s cheekbones are highly coveted, but, you can certainly get them sharp with makeup. Her makeup artist suggests applying contour product right below the cheekbones and on the jawline. Pull your cheeks in and apply the product in a line right below your cheekbones, where the hollow is, and on your jaw bone that separates your face from your neck. Blend in the dark contour hue and dab highlighter on your cheekbones for a sharp look.
