The beautiful 40 year old celebrity Jennifer Lopez has a great younger looking skin.  Some of it is genetics and some is thanks to the advantage of being rich and famous which makes it easy having the best products at your fingertips.  However, there are some beauty secrets and simple tricks that are used by Jen for creating that youthful look: She wears a pale lip with a hint of shimmer, which makes your lips look fuller and more sexy, especially when you add dramatic eyes make-up, like she does.  But- her most important secret, just like Angelina Jolie, is to make sure her makeup is never overdone, which normally ages!

So how does this beauty celebrity looks her best? Kim Kardashian recently shared some of her favorite beauty secrets with Allure magazine, revealing her favorite trick: When it comes to looking her best, Kim says her secret weapon is getting a good night sleep!

Its amazing how many cosmetics experts, make-up artists and beauty products consultants recommend using makeup brush while applying any make-up products. Including all makeup types, as liquid foundation, eye shadows AND lipsticks, it seems like this is the right way to go. However, recent beauty research shows that using our fingers is a better way to go… While using your fingers, you basically naturally smooth in the makeup powder or liquid deeper into the skin. That human touch helps in keeping all make-up applications last longer, blend in nicer and prevent an over do. Next time, before spending a fortune on some makeup brushes, simply try using those fingers of yours. Just like old times. Trust me- you`d get the best natural look!  

The 32 years old Liv Tyler, Daughter of Steven Tyler, lead singer of the rock band Aerosmith and a simply natural beauty uses few of Yves St.  Laurent makeup products which she can`t live without:  “I’m hooked on Yves St. Laurent concealer”, admitted Liv. “It’s almost invisible and I put it under my eyes and stuff” For her lips, she said: “They have gorgeous old-fashioned gold tubes, and all the lipstick colors are really beautiful. They’re brilliant punk rock colors that you can’t get anywhere else, like fluorescent pink and really beautiful reds.” Well, as we already know, red is always good, however If you have yet to try one of Yves St. Laurent colors, you may wanna look at Liv Tyler`s beautiful, natural looking make-up and be inspired!

I`m probably gonna write many post about her since I admire her beauty and since she is one of my most favorite celeb! According to the little Black Book of Hollywood Beauty Secrets, Cameron Diaz uses her lipstick make up as a blusher, especially for the on-the-go touch-ups. The beauty benefits you get from wearing lipstick as blush:

1. Gives your cheeks a youthful, healthy looking glow.

2. The color coordinates your cheeks with your lips, which create high fashion photography look.

3. Matching cheeks and lips can set off other features such as long, dark, thick lashes, or great bone structure.   

In order to make sure her entire make up applications such as eye-shadows and blush is applied smoothly Cameron Diaz uses the Sonya Dakar Hydra-soft lotion, which is a great oil free moisturizer. More to that, her basic foundation smooth and clear skin maker which is the Sun-forgettable 30SPF mineral powder, helps smooth and clear skin. It is one of Diaz`s favorite duel cosmetic application: an amazing mineral facial healthy foundation make up application plus an anti wrinkles protector at the same time, thanks to its 30 SPF powers, against the aging UV rays! Two birds in one stone… mmm.. not bad!
