Glowing skin needs moisture, so keep skin hydrated with a moisturizer that contains antioxidants, glycerin, and hyaluronic acid.

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.

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.
