BEAUTY TRICKS

Ashley Judd keeps her lips puckery perfect by rubbing a pineapple chunk on them followed by a dab of petroleum jelly. The fruit acids slough off dead skin and the petroleum jelly seals in the moisture.

Britney Spears treats her blemishes by steaming them with lemon herbal tea and boil­ing water. She boils a big pot and puts her face over it until it cools. It also clears clogged pores.

Drew Barrymore’s favorite beauty tool is a eyelash curler. Her lashes grow down, so she really "opens her eyes" with her curler. Drew likes to heat the curler briefly with her blow dryer so that the curl stays in.

Alyssa Milano’s trademark is her perfectly shaped eyebrows. To achieve them, she matches up her eye’s iris and tapers them down to the cor­ner of her outer eye.

Sarah Michelle Gellar emphasizes her eyes and lips with just the right amount of blush. She gets the right contour by following the lines of her cheekbones with her blush brush.

Gwyneth Paltrow plays up her eyes with sparkly gray eye shadow and a soft kohl gray pencil. She rims it around both her upper and lower lashes.

Jennifer Lopez uses shimmering creams and powders all over her body and face. Her lips are always highly glossed.

Courteney Cox Arquette keeps her skin looking flawless and oil-free with rice-paper powdered tissues. They can be found at drug­stores or beauty supply shops.

Angie Harmon opens up her deep-set eyes with a well-groomed brow. It creates a lift and brings the eye forward. She chooses a light shadow and defined lash line.

Christina Aguilera widens her eyes by only applying shadow on the outer corners and light­ening her eyelids with gloss.

Mariah Carey mixes a drop of mint extract with a dab of lip gloss before applying. The mint stimulates blood flow and enhances lip color. Make sure you have no sensitivity to mint.

Lisa Kudrow soaks thick and smooth paper napkins in almond oil and keeps them in plastic bags when she travels. They moisturize and refresh her skin and leave a heavenly fragrance.

Singer and actress Brandy uses an antibiotic ointment (like Neosporin) overnight when she has an acne rash.

Naomi Campbell accents her lips with Jell-O. It’s a great stain. Dip a moistened cotton swab into Jell-0 powder in the color of your choice. Leave it on for about three to four minutes and then lick it off. Sometimes she tops it of with gloss.

One of TYRA BANKS’ favorite exercises is running. Afterwards she treats her feet to this soothing foot soak.

Fill a basin with warm water and add one-quarter cup of granu­lated sugar, two tablespoons of almond oil, and three drops of rosemary oil. She then massages her feet with her fingers. After ten minutes of rubbing, she pats her feet dry and puts on socks to seal in the softness.

Rene Russo minimizes her high forehead with this foundation trick that you can copy. Brush a foundation that is a shade darker than your regular shade along the hairline from the tops of the ears to the center of the forehead. Blend so that the color disappears into the hairline.

Natalie Portman is not one to waste her money on a lot of stuff. She says that she can do without the materialism that goes along with her industry, and feels that her money can go to better places. But that doesn’t mean that she doesn’t love style. She gets big compli­ments on the many earrings that she buys at Target.

Melanie Griffith loves natural beauty treat­ments, but as a mom she can’t just pick up and go at a moment’s notice. That’s why she loves to do some of these treatments in her own bath­room. Her skin-smoothing favorite is to mash an avocado with a few drops of witch hazel and apply it to her face in a circular motion. She leaves it on for about twenty minutes while she

relaxes in her bath. Then she rinses with warm water. It leaves her skin feeling silky.

Helen Hunt uses this trick to make her eyes prominent. She brushes her brow hairs straight up and then sets them with hair spray. She then traces a thin line of taupe eye shadow along the upper edge of her brow. This lifts the eye and makes it appear larger.

Jewel uses shimmery lip gloss on her eye lids.
