Light Makeup Ideas To Steal From Celebs

Light makeup ideas are the ones that we can use most frequently. You can hardly turn up at your office with heavy makeup in the day time. It is also a misnomer that light makeup ideas are only for day wear. You can tone down your makeup even at night and still look gorgeous. Basically light makeup always works.

Celebrities are required to do heavy makeup by virtue of their profession. As they are always facing the camera, celebrities have makeup ideas that are quite different from normal women. That is why we usually do not associate light makeup ideas with celebrities. However, celebs are also human and even their skin needs to breath. That why sometimes, celebrities shed heavy makeup in favour of a bare look.

Sometimes, even celebrities use only kajal for makeup or use lip gloss instead of bright lip colours. This minimalistic look really suits most celebrities. So you can do light makeup with kajal and lip gloss and still look like the stars. All you need are the right light makeup ideas.

Here are some of best light makeup ideas that you can steal from the celebrities.
