We got the scoop on how Scarlett Johansson, Emily Blunt and more enhance their natural good looks. Check out their top get-gorgeous tricks.
DON'T FEAR BROW LINER
Yeah, yeah, we know – it has a bad rap for good reason. But Scarlett Johansson makes us want to give the product another shot. The key is to apply it with individual feathery strokes rather than thick lines, explains makeup artist Emma Lovell, who used MAC Fling eyebrow pencil to elongate and shape Scarlett's brows before the London premiere of The Avengers.
GO NUDE
Sometimes not wearing a bold lip can make the biggest statement, since it allows your eyes to really take center stage. For the My Sister's Sister premiere, makeup artist Jenn Streicher created a soft, bronze, smoky eye for Emily Blunt but kept the makeup from looking too over-the-top by avoiding red lipstick and instead swiping on a translucent lip color, NARS Belle de Jour in sheer beige.

ROLL WITH IT
If you think Velcro rollers are just for grandmas, guess again! Lily Collins's stylist Thomas Dunkin used the blast-from-the-past tool to create a polished and full ponytail for the Mirror Mirror actress's evening at the Cartier Mansion in N.Y.C. Dunkin's suggestion: Blow out the hair first, put in the rollers, and once hair is set, remove them, pull locks into a pony and spritz on Sebastian Professional Shaper Fierce Hairspray.
BE A TEASE
Mad Men's head stylist Terrie V. Owen spilled his secret for getting Christina Hendricks's va-va-voom tresses: Starting at the nape of your neck, use a comb to tease the heck out of your hair before pinning it up. This guarantees tons of volume (even if your locks are on the finer side). Then finish it off with a hairspray – Owen uses White Sands Liquid Texture Thermal Styling Spray.
DITCH THE HEAVY METAL
A bun like the one Jennifer Lopez rocked at the Oscars only looks chic if it's sleek. So celeb hairstylist Lorenzo Martin used a metal-free elastic band to pull the hair back, preventing breakage and flyaways, then finished off the updo with L'Oréal Paris EverStyle Smooth & Shine Serum.
LET YOUR LIPS BE YOUR ACCESSORY
For the Kids' Choice Awards orange carpet, Taylor Swift opted for a neutral dress and minimal accessories, so makeup artist Lorrie Turk added color and interest to the ensemble in the form of a coral pout. Using a lip brush, she applied CoverGirl Blast Flipstick Lipcolor in Cheeky.

GO FOR THE COLD
To give Emma Stone's hair extra bounce for the Kids' Choice Awards, celeb hairstylist David Babaii washed it with IT&LY Pure Shampoo and Conditioner, then followed with a final cool-water rinse. The shot of cold H2O adds volume and seals the cuticle, guaranteeing shine.
DON'T NEGLECT THE DÉCOLLETAGE
If you're going to wear a low-cut top, like Rihanna did at Battleship's Tokyo premiere, follow her lead and apply an illuminator to your chest. Her makeup artist used St. Tropez Violet illuminator, but anything with a bit of reflective quality will make your skin look instantly sexier and sun-kissed.
