How I Get That Celebrity Glow

0 of 10

You can have your of-the-moment neon polishes and orange lipsticks. But whatever the season and whichever the year, beautiful, glowing, healthy skin is always paramount in style. That's why, regardless of "who" they're wearing or which pro did their makeup, red-carpet posing celebs and strutting cat walkers all seem to have a shine to their skin when the rest of us look lackluster. What are they doing that we aren't?

As it turns out, not much. For all their wealth and pelf and fame, stars have skin problems too. (I know -- I've seen an A-lister actually apologize to her makeup artist for breaking out. Such a fun moment!) They also get dull and flaky skin, broken blood vessels, scars, and all those other pesky imperfections, just like the rest of us.

The difference is that while they have access to teams of beauty pros who can erase the evidence and transform them into radiant goddesses, we are left to our own devices -- and, in today's case anyway, some valuable secrets I managed to eke out of a few top-notch beauty teams.

From how to clean your face to what you put in your body, here are my favorite pro tips on getting, maintaining, enhancing, and even faking your way to a gorgeous glow. I use them all the time, and now you're going to want to use them, too.

$14 is way too much to ask for Covergirl. It should be half that, at most for that price point and product market segment.

i have genetically bad skin, so even with all of these tips, it still won't "glow"

I already do all of this and still don't have that "glow".

Everyone loves that dewy look. Kinda expensive if you have problem skin though. Thank you for the tips.

This is all so very true. If you take good care of your skin underneath your makeup, your natual glow will shine through. And if you don't have good skin to start with (like me), then all the tips and tricks to conceal and highlight are in order.
