Katie Holmes is always timelessly sophisticated and an effortless beauty, so it’s no surprise that big cosmetics companies such as Bobbi Brown love working with her. The actress has thus picked up some very useful and easy to try out makeup tips that she believes just enhances what is there naturally without looking over-done and caked on – just her beauty ethos. Here are 5 of Katie Holmes’ Best Makeup Tips for looking gorgeous and a few secrets for applying makeup too!
- Makeup Should Enhance Natural Beauty
Katie thinks too much makeup looks bad and that products should simply enhance natural beauty: “I want to feel comfortable and appropriate, but I agree with the philosophy that makeup is really there to enhance beauty rather than to try to change what you look like. And besides, I don’t look good with too much makeup on anyway!”
- Blush is Her Quick Fix
She believes blush is a great quick fix product: “I didn’t realize that when you’re tired, it’s all about blush—not necessarily concealer. You have to have color on your cheeks to brighten your skin up—as women, we want to hurry up and conceal the dark circles, but really you have to bring the pink out.”
- She Uses Gel Eyeliner for Precise Application
She loves how defined gel eyeliner looks: “I like using eyeliner and mascara. I’ve always been afraid of applying liquid eyeliner because my hand isn’t that steady, but Bobbi’s new Perfectly Defined Gel Eyeliner is amazing because it is a gel-pencil eyeliner, which makes it so easy to apply. Plus, the application is so precise, I feel like a pro.”
- She Works With Her Own Colours
She matches makeup to her own colours: “When it comes to make-up, I know what works for me. I like to use a lot of browns or purples around my eyes and if I’m doing my make-up myself I usually go for a smoky eye and a nude lip.”
- She Picks Up Makeup Artist Tricks
Katie tries to remember makeup artist tricks the professionals use on her: “I try to write down what makeup artists do on me. Like dabbing white shadow on the inner corners of my eyes to brighten them–that’s a good one.”
