Make-up is an art form. It can transform your face, your mood and can even be used as a mask to hide our insecurities. But it’s also a lot of fun! We’ve all heard that ‘the best make up is no-makeup’ but sometimes we just want to go full glam and wear statement eyeshadow or smear on red lipstick like it’s going out of style. There have been many iconic moments in the history of celebrity make up – from bold colours that defined entire generations through to simple beauty tips that changed how we apply our make-up today. Here are some of our favourite examples:

The red lipstick that defined Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian’s signature red lipstick is an iconic look that has been copied by countless women. The reality star was the first to wear it in such a bold way and made it her own.
Kim wears her lipstick with confidence, pairing it with minimal eye makeup and a simple winged eyeliner for a classic look that’s perfect for every occasion. She also loves experimenting with new shades–a few of our favorites are “Posh Plum” from Marc Jacobs Beauty or “Strawberry Sorbet” from Smashbox Cosmetics (see below).
If you’re ready to try this iconic look yourself but aren’t sure where to start, we’ve got some tips on how you can pull off Kim K’s favorite lip color!
The iconic blue eye shadow look
Blue eye shadow is a classic, and it can be worn in many different ways. It’s bold, but it can also be toned down to suit your style. If you like to experiment with your look then this is a great way of doing so because it’s not too far from what most people would wear on a regular day-to-day basis.
The black eyeliner that changed the world
Black eyeliner is a classic look that’s easy to pull off, and can be used to create a variety of looks. The most iconic celebrity make-up moments in history are made up of black eyeliner. The cat eye look was popularized by Brigitte Bardot in the 1950s, but it wasn’t until Elizabeth Taylor wore it on the red carpet that people really started paying attention.
Nowadays you can find black eyeliner in any drugstore or department store around the world–but back then? That stuff was hard to come by!
The best red lip colour for your skin tone
When it comes to red lipstick, your best bet is always to stick with the shade that matches your natural lip colour. If you’re blessed with naturally rosy lips and want to add some colour and definition, then go for a deeper hue such as crimson or oxblood. If on the other hand, your pout is more pale or neutral in tone (we see you yellow-skinned beauties), opt for something lighter like a pinkish hue.
When applying any kind of lip colour it’s important not only that it suits your complexion but also how well it goes with every other part of your face–and this includes knowing what type of eye shadow looks best when paired with certain hues from across the spectrum! So if we were going by this rule alone then here’s what would happen: if I had dark brown eyes then I’d probably wear blue-based shades like navy blue; however since my eyes are green instead I tend towards purples because they complement each other nicely.”
The ‘no-makeup’ makeup trend
You may have heard the term ‘no-makeup makeup,’ but what does it really mean? This is a style of applying makeup that allows you to look like you’re wearing no product at all, but still highlights your best features and makes you feel confident in your skin. It’s not about creating a flawless face; it’s about enhancing your natural beauty.
There are many steps involved in achieving this look:
- Wear sunscreen every day! Sunscreen helps prevent wrinkles and fine lines from developing over time by protecting your skin from UV rays that cause damage.
- Use primer before foundation! Primer creates an even surface on which to apply foundation so that it looks seamless when applied over top of it (and also helps keep everything else in place).
- Set everything with setting spray! Setting spray sets everything else into place so there aren’t any creases or smudges on top of each other–it works especially well under powder products like blush or bronzer because those tend not to blend as easily without something holding them together first before blending happens later down the road once everything else has dried completely off after being applied onto clean skin beforehand.”
Make up is an art form.
The world of make up is a vast one, and it’s easy to get lost in the sea of products and techniques. But if you’re looking for inspiration on how best to use your favourite cosmetics, look no further than these iconic celebrity make-up moments in history.
It’s not just about looking pretty: makeup can be an art form. It’s about creating your own unique style – experimenting with different colours, shapes and textures; using the right products for your skin type; or even taking inspiration from celebrities who have similar facial features as yours when deciding what kind of look suits you best (e.g., if you have rounder cheeks then try using a highlighter).
Conclusion
Make-up is an art form, and it’s important to remember that there are no rules when it comes to your look. If you want to wear bright pink lipstick and blue eye shadow every day, go ahead! But if you prefer a more natural look then that’s fine too – as long as it makes you feel confident in your skin then no one else matters. We hope these iconic celebrity make-up moments have inspired you to try something new with your look or even just reminded us all why we love them so much (even if they don’t always “win”).
