True Hollywood Makeup is all about giving you a behind the scenes look at the reality of how the most beautiful celebs get polished for the camera. We recently spoke with celebrity makeup artist Erica Maniscalco.

She’s got a very down-to-earth view of natural beauty and how to keep perspective on the supernatural perfection we see every day in the media. She also has a great tip about how to get great lashes! This is a must read.

“Everyone has flaws and imperfections,” explains Maniscalco, “the main difference is that the general population is not in the public eye and they do not have a team to make them look beautiful everyday.”

Below are common facts about lashes.

99% of celebrities wear fake eyelashes. Though when many people think of lashes the word fake come to mind. But lashes do not have to look fake.

There are so many brands and styles to choose from and if applied correctly no one will ever know you are wearing them.

Besides celebrities, lashes are used in every mascara ad on TV and in magazines.

Some tips when applying lashes are:

1. Once they are glued on apply a black liner to cover the strip.

2. Take an eyelash curler to bring your lashes together with the fake ones.

3.  Apply mascara to both your lashes and the fake ones for a finished look.

Celebrity Makeup Tip - Megan Fox

Have you seen that piercing sparkle in Megan Fox’s eyes.  Better yet, have you ever watched any guy stop in his tracks at the mere mention of Megan Fox’s name?  Well you can have that look, too.  Here’s the inside scoop on how she gets it.

To eliminate the possibility of dark circles appearing under the eyes, start by applying a concealer that is a shade or two lighter than your natural skin tone.

Next, to call attention to the eyes and really make them pop, apply a golden tint between the eyebrow and lash line.  To really make blue eyes shine and twinkle add a smokey charcoal shade to the crease.

On your upper lash line apply a single line of eyeliner in one fell swoop.  Slightly curl it upwards toward your temple to give yourself an accentuated sexy feline look.

Of course it never hurts to accentuate your lashes if they need it.  A simple mascara, or in some cases, false lashes can do the trick.  You can finish this look off by using a brow pencil to slightly exaggerate the peak of your eyebrow.

There is a lot of room for your own creativity with this look. Try accentuating one of the features we mentioned while down playing another, and then try the reverse to see what really works for you.  In other words, if you are going to really define the arch of your brown, you may want to ease up on the upward slant of your eyeliner.

Experiment enough and you just might out-do the stunning Megan Fox!
