Six Celebrity Beauty Tricks You Can Use Yourself

We all look at famous people and think to ourselves, “Why can't I look like that?” Most of the time we chalk it up to the fact that we just can not find the money in our budgets to spend hundreds of dollars on expensive designer brand clothing and plastic surgery.

Fortunately, you do not have to have the bank account of an A-List celeb to look like a star. There are many beauty tricks you can do yourself, most of them don't cost much and can be done at home!

Six Celebrity Beauty Tricks You Can Use Yourself

1. Do It Yourself Facials

Every 4-6 weeks it's a good idea to get a facial. Most of us don't have the cash to drop on a spa visit, but luckily they are easy to do at home. First, use hot water and a brush or facial scrub to remove dead skin. Do your neck and chest as well.

Soak a cotton ball in witch hazel and use it to sterilize your face. This will work on unclogging your pores. Then you apply a mask and keep it on for ten minutes. After you wash it off, apply a moisturizer.

If you want a more natural facial, there are many face masks you can make from yogurt, honey, strawberries or avocado that can easily be found online.

2. Hair Detox

A hair detox may be in order. To do this, you just add a teaspoon of baking soda to your regular shampoo and wash. This will balance the pH levels and cleanse your hair. After cleansing with baking soda, a natural way to restore your hair's healthy shine is to apply a rinse made with apple cider vinegar and water.

3. Hair Mask

Make it yourself by combining 3 parts olive oil, one part honey, and an egg and mix it all together. This treatment will nourish and strengthen your hair and remove impurities. If you have dry hair, this is a great way to restore moisture to your locks. For an added benefit, put a shower cap and towel on your head and heat your hair with your blow dryer on a low setting.

4. Pretty Smile

One of the easiest methods of improving your appearance is simply by improving your smile. Most celebrities get work done on their teeth to make them appear larger, brighter and whiter.

There are many ways to improve the look of your smile, whether you visit a cosmetic dentist for veneers or do an at home whitening treatment, there is something for everyone.

5. Dress your Best

No matter the size or shape of a star, they always dress amazing. Although celebrities might have personal stylists to help them pick out expensive clothing, you don't have to spend a lot of money to look great.

The key is dressing for your body type. If you are curvier, emphasize your small waist. If you have long legs, wear skinny jeans.

 If you have clothing that just doesn't fit you properly, consider visiting a seamstress to have it altered to fit you perfectly.

6. Pretty Eyes

Some celebrities pay big money for face lifts, botox treatments or other methods of making their eyes appear brighter and younger. However, you don't have to go under the knife to change the look of your eyes drastically.

A trick many celebrities use to enhance their eyes is false lashes. If you have short or straight lashes, simply gluing on longer, yet natural looking lashes can help open the eyes.

Final Thoughts


Many women look at celebrities in fashion magazines and aspire to look like them (just remember, those photos are re-touched, not even the celebrities can look that amazing).

With simple beauty tricks and spending a little more time on skin and hair care, you can show off your best features for a look that belongs in Hollywood!

So will you try these celebrity beauty hacks and tricks and look stunning without spending a bomb!
