Let’s be real– your favorite celebrities pay big money for big glam squads that help them get fabulous every day. And big glam squads are helmed by fierce make-up artists, like the ones behind Kim Kardashian, Nicki Minaj, Beyoncé and others. We may not have celebrity bank accounts, but we can still get some helpful tips from these artists, thanks to social media. Here are a few ideas from some of the greatest pretty face-makers out there.

This amazing talent is partly repsonsible for the new look we started to see from Nicki Minaj sometime last year. All of that heavy, dramatic make-up was replaced with a much softer look that suits Nicki so well.

Beat Face also has a fantastic rags to riches story that Nicki Minaj herself has talked about:

Recently featured in O, The Oprah Magazine, Mally swears by skin primer as a means of creating the perfect foundation for your make-up. And if it’s good enough for King Beyoncé, it’s good enough for us!

You can say what you want to about the Kardashians but one thing that you cannot accuse them of is suffering from a bad make-up job. Ever. You can’t ever say that. And they have Joyce Bonelli to thank for their flawless looks. Joyce is a big fan of glamorous eyelashes — go big or go home and use a volumizing mascara to get the job done.
