18. WIPE OFF YOUR LIPSTICK
"To make lips look naturally pink, I put on red lipstick, wipe it off, and then apply clear gloss."

-Joy Bryant

20. SPRITZ YOUR OUTFIT
"I love walking into a closet and smelling lingering perfume, so I always spray my clothes. And at the end of the bottle, when the atomizer no longer reaches the tiny little dribble that is left, I unscrew the top and pour the remainder onto a t-shirt or dress."
-Sarah Jessica Parker

21. MASTER THE ART OF SMILING
"An actress friend of mine shared a great trick. She told me to stick my tongue behind my teeth when I smile to keep from over-smiling. If you smile without doing it, sometimes your gums show a little too much. It's an actor's trick!"
-Jessica Chastain

22. TONE DOWN YOUR CONCEALER

-AnnaLynne McCord

23. CONSIDER A CAT EYE
"I don't use a real eye shadow brush-I just use the spongy brush that comes in the package. It fits nicely underneath my eye and creates a nice, everyday cat eye. I blend, add a little black eyeliner on the inside and I'm done."
-Ashlee Simpson

24. USE A LIGHT HAND
"My best beauty secret is simple: Have the right palette and the right colors and remember, you need so much less makeup than you think."
-Jessalyn Gilsig

25. BE YOURSELF
"I'm a really smiley person, so I've just learned when I'm doing my own makeup, I have to make sure it's smile ready and not too heavy. As amazing as the Victoria Beckham pout is for photos, I just can't do it!"
-Rosario Dawson
