Hollywood Starlets’ Iconic Looks

Want to be your favorite starlet this Halloween? With these simple tips, you can be! See below for key items to create each look. You can use items that you already have in your makeup bag and we’ve also suggested some of our favorite go-to products.

Feel free to syndincate or use any part of this piece, we just ask that you credit Skindinavia (or use our suggestion for Britney Spears)!

Stewardess Britney Spears

The key to Britney Spears’s makeup from her Toxic video is that it’s long lasting. To dance in the aisles of airplanes or in the clubs, use Skindinavia‘s No More Shine. Her makeup artist loved it so much that she took it on tour with Britney this past summer!

Electric Bolt Lady Gaga

To get Lady Gaga’s electric bolt, use a black eye liner to draw lines on top and under right eye. Fill in with a sparkly black shadow. Try Makeup Forever’s Aqua Eyes in Mat Black and Chanel’s Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Shadow in Mirifique.

Teen Age Dream Katy Perry

Make your eyes twinkle like Katy Perry’s with glitter. Mix two tones to get this purpley-pink eye look. Opt for MAC‘s Pigment in Fuschia and Violet.

Lucious Lipped Marilyn Monroe

To get your lips to stop traffic like Marilyn Monroe, choose a bold hue. NARS’s Jungle Red has a creamy shiny texture.

Moves Like Jagger Christina Aguleria

Christina Aguilera’s Twiggy inspired eye look can be achieve by putting false lashes on the top AND bottom.Andrea Modlashs Strip Lashes are great. Make sure to trim the ones for the bottom!

Countdown Beyonce

Beyonce’s natural Countdown (baby bump included) makeup includes a dash of color and shine on the lips. Opt for Lancome‘s Juicy Tubes Jelly in Berry Bold in Miracle.
