Oh to have celebrity makeup artists at your disposal every-time you have an event!
It may be a pipe dream for us mere mortals, but it doesn’t mean that we still can’t pick up some valuable tips from some of the top celebrity makeup artists. Often the MUAs share product breakdowns, recommendations and tutorials on their Instagrams.
Here are the MUAs that some of your faves rely on to get them red-carpet ready.
