Let’s face it, a lot of our looks – and choices – are inspired by celebrities, whether fiction or nonfiction. And I am one of them (teehee!). So it’s not surprising if this website has featured a lot of Hollywood-inspired makeup tutorials like Kylie Jenner’s looks on Instagram!

Olivia Munn doesn’t just have awesome brows, she really has a great makeup, which works well with her even skin tone. To recreate her dazzling Oscar’s 2016 look, go here.

Didn’t I say we also love looks of our beloved fictional characters? Topping the list is that of the Mother of Dragons, Khaleesi. While this may seem fitting for Halloween, you can also wear the dewy look anytime (and it’s a perfect way to wait patiently for GOT’s the last season). Want to know how to achieve the makeup? Read this post.
2. Holiday Makeup Tutorials
Some of my most-read and best makeup tutorials are holiday looks. Of course, who doesn’t want to be glamorous and chic at a time when everyone’s expected to get together? I have several of them, but these ones are my top choices. First is the glamorous holiday makeup tutorial by Nikkietutorials (get her collab makeup with Too Faced here). I super love the makeup because it’s fresh yet sultry, classy yet sexy. Amazing balance of smoky eyes, dewy skin, and red lipstick.
I had a difficult time picking the best makeup tutorials for the Halloween, but I have to settle for this look mainly for one reason: details. It looks intricate, but it’s actually quite easy to do. If you want to do this for your next Halloween party, you better read this tutorial.
And before we say adieu to 2016, a New Year’s Eve makeup tutorial made it to the list! I am not a big fan of glitters, but I like how they add a beautiful contrast to the red lips and sparkle to the minimal makeup. They remove the dullness of the look without demanding too much attention.
