The Top Five Celebrity Beauty Secrets and How to Acheive Them for Less

Bob Sagette
It might be hard to believe but celebrities are not naturally perfect. It takes a lot of money and time to create their image. Below find out their beauty secrets and how to achieve them for less.

Their Way: Celebrities have makeup artists and hair stylists on their beck and call so they are always picture ready.
Your way: Before you apply makeup use primers. Primers help your makeup last and make the colors more vibrant. This gives you more bang for your buck and you won't have as many touch ups throughout the day if any. Eye primers keep eye shadow and eyeliner on all day without creasing. Try Urban Decay Primer Potion. Face primer fills in any pores and wrinkles and keeps foundation from "melting off." I suggest any Smashbox primer or Shu Uemura UV Under Base Mousse.

Their Way: Achieving a celebrity body isn't easy, even though some celebrities like to pretend it is. Celebrities pay big bucks on personal trainers and nutritionists to compile a rigorous exercise routine and diet. No matter how busy they are, they never skip their work out. Celeb diets range from lean meats and veggies to all vegan. Keeping up an all organic meal plan can be expensive.
Your way: This is an area you may want to splurge on. A healthy diet and exercise are habits that will last you your life and keep you at your optimum health. If you can't afford a trainer or a gym membership, try at-home exercise DVDs. As for food, try to keep your meals organic, stay away from refined sugars and flour, eat only good carbs, stay away from caffeine, and drink plenty of water. Many celebs are big fans of detoxing. Try Adina Neimerow's book Super Cleanse.

Their Way: Glowing skin seems to be a celebrity trademark. Luckily for celebs they can afford the uber expensive services from the top dermatologists and plastic surgeons as well as frequent spa facials.
Your way: Do you own at home facials. You can either buy facial masks or make your own. Some of my favorite facials include Bliss Steep Clean and Ole Henrikson Firming Action. Another important rule that glowing beauties like Nicole Kidman never forget is sunscreen. Make sure you always have a sunscreen with at least 25 UVA/UVB spf.

Their Way: Sometimes even a good diet and exercise cannot win out against genes. To fix those last imperfection celebs have access to plastic surgery, airbrushing, and custom slimming foundations.
Your way: Always make sure you have the proper foundations under your clothes. Spanx is a great option. Underwear lines can ruin a good outfit.

Their way: You never see a celebrity with yellow teeth on the red carpet and that is because they can afford professional teeth whitening.
Your way: You can try the less expensive drug store options, or if you have extra cash to burn you might want to invest in the GoSmile system which can be found at Sephora.com.
