Add Light Brown False Lashes

"Full lashes-and less mascara-are great for summer. I like using individual versions in soft brown, which gives the eye a flirty feel without looking heavy. Hayden Panettiere loves them. I'll add a few to the ends of her lashline to elongate their almond shape. And because the lashes are brown, a splash of mascara makes it impossible to tell the difference between real and false ones. It's so sexy."
-Makeup artist Amy Oresman

Try True Peach Blush

"I'm obsessed with a true peach cheek and disappointed when I buyblushes that turn pinkish when I apply them. The only way I've found toachieve a real peach on my clients is to use a formula that looks orangein its packaging. I promise it will become peach when layered on yourskin! That's why Nina Dobrev looked so great at the Independent Filmmaker event."

Switch to Coral Lip Stain

"I've been obsessed with corals this season, but not your grandmother's old-fashioned version. New sheer coral stains are light and whisper soft, like you've just had a popsicle. I recently used MAC Lusterglass in Love Nectar at a shoot with AnnaLynne McCord and she loved it so much, she wore it out that night."
-Makeup artist Gregory Arlt

Set Your Makeup With Mist

"In the summer, I love misting my client's faces with Caudalie Beauty Elixer. It sets the makeup, freshens and tightens pores, plus it's incredibly cooling. I use this trick with Jessica Szohr on a warm L.A. nights."
-Makeup artist Tina Turnbow

Use Cream Blush Not Bronzer

"I like a product that can multitask, especially in the summer. Instead of drowning Ali Larter in liquid bronzer, which can either look too orangey or a little greasy, I used cream blush in a warm, nude shade. (My favorite is Lancome Color Design Blush in Model Mocha.) It's equally flattering on eyes, cheeks, lips and even as a highlighter on the shoulders, legs or clavicles."

Mix Foundation & Moisturizer

"There is nothing more important that fresh healthy looking skin in the summer. For Anne Hathaway's look at the Met Gala, I mixed a dab of hydrating, nutrient rich cream like Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Moisture Binding Cream into her foundation. It's lighter and more natural looking than foundation alone, plus it works to give her a more radiant complexion in the future."
-Makeup artist Gina Brooke
