Hollywood-Inspired Make-up For Yourself

Iconic actress Elizabeth Taylor was recently voted the most photogenic celebrity of all time, with a make-up style which was full of all the glamor of Hollywood. It’s a key look for this seasons, so here’s what you’ll need recreate Hollywood-inspired make-up for yourself.

One of the most noticeable features of Old Hollywood Glamour is the classic red lips. Hollywood A-listers have been painting their lips to match the red carpet for years, and it’s of the most effective ways of making sure you stand out from the crowd.

Forget shiny lip glosses, and opt for traditional matte lip sticks. The darker your skin-tone, the darker shade of red your chosen lip color should be. Make sure you use a well-matched lip liner to help define your Hollywood pout.

However, whilst pillar-box red lips might look great on the red-carpet, they’re not ideal for everyday wear. However, this doesn’t mean that you can’t incorporate the style of the stars into the basic make-up which you might wear when browsing designer boutiques or playing a game of online party poker.

For a iconic look which is slightly more low-key, leave the lips nude and focus on your eyes. Invest in a classic liquid eye-liner, which you can use to create dainty flicks at the corner of each eye. Use a creamy highlighter on your eye-brow bone for added elegance.

Lastly, no Hollywood-inspired make-up would be complete without perfectly rouged cheeks. Define your cheekbones with a cream-based blusher in subtle pink tones, rather than using bronzer to highlight your features.

Stick to these basic guidelines, and you’ll be able to re-create this iconic look, which promises to stay on trend throughout the season.
