Wear Makeup Like Carmen Electra

Ever since Carmen Electra began her rise to fame as Prince's protege and a "Playboy" model, she's captured the world's imagination with her gorgeous good looks and flawless figure. A client of such celebrity hair and makeup artists as Ken Paves and Pat McGrath, Carmen Electra has access to the best-kept beauty secrets in Hollywood. Learn some of her tips and tricks. Does this Spark an idea?

Instructions


1. Build your look on a great foundation. For red carpet events, Carmen Electra uses Max Factor's Pan-Stik Ultra-Creamy Makeup (see Resources). Apply stick makeup with your fingers or a foundation brush for the most thorough coverage, then set your makeup with a light dusting of translucent loose powder.


2. Make the most of your eyes. Celebrity makeup artist Pat McGrath uses smoky colors to emphasize Carmen Electra's mesmerizing blue eyes. Use intensely pigmented shadows, eyeliner, false eyelashes and volumizing mascara to create Carmen's "cat's-eye" look.


3. Get a glow with bronzers and highlighters. As a former "Baywatch" actress, Carmen Electra knows all the secrets to getting a safe, healthy just-back-from-the-beach tan. Sweep a bronzer like Benefit's 10 (see Resources) along your cheekbones, down the bridge of your nose, across your forehead and in the center of your chin. Then dot a highlighter like Stila's All Over Shimmer Liquid Luminizer (see Resources) along the tops of your cheekbones and along your brow bones.


4. Finish your celebrity look with a swipe of lip gloss. Carmen Electra likes a neutral lip color and sometimes uses MAXwear Lip Color in Tempting Vixen (see Resources).
