How can you get that Hollywood lit-from-within skin? Just ask these makeup artists to the stars.

CELEBRITIES MIGHT have supernaturally perfect skin, but they’re just as human as the rest of us. To achieve that healthy glow, slathering on SPF, staying hydrated, and getting a full night’s sleep is just the beginning. While they’re in the makeup chair, stars often get the scoop on the dewiest skincare products and most effective makeup tricks—which is why we asked their makeup artists for their best glow getter tips. One such example? Don’t highlight all over or you’ll resemble a disco ball. Also, put away the powder highlighter. It won’t create a believable glow. “Powders don’t give off luminosity or bring light to the face. They have a shimmer effect,” says celebrity makeup artist Katey Denno, who thinks skin should look juicy and radiant instead of just shiny. “Look for something cream-based, serum-based, or oil-based with reflective particles in it.” Here’s everything else you need for the glowiest skin of your life.

Tip

SMOOTH OUT SKIN

To prevent dullness caused by clogged pores and dead skin cells, Denno applies a natural peel the night before or “right before I put makeup on a client for the red carpet.”

Tip

BRIGHTEN YOUR EYES

Denno likes Kosas wet-to-dry eyeshadows for “that glowy look without worrying that it’s going to move all over the place.” Apply with a fingertip, then buff in with a fluffy brush.
