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.
