When the stars walk and pose on the red carpet, they look perfect, it seems without having to do a little effort. But the reality is that behind the amazing dresses, hairstyles, and makeup, there are various tricks that we might not imagine, which helps them look like this.
We know what is happening behind the scenes for these stars to display all their glow when cameras are around.
They remove lipstick stains with hairspray
If lipstick ends up on the fabric of one of your dresses, hairspray can save your garment. In fact, hairspray is a handy product for several emergency fixes, such as removing lint or pet hair from clothing and even drying nail polish quickly.
They wear foundation on their ears
Celebrities’ ears can become their weak spot on the red carpet, as they sometimes look redder than the rest of their face. So they apply foundation beyond the circumference of their face, reaching all the way to the ears, past the hairline, and down to the neck as well. That way, their skin tone will look even and won’t have any contrasting areas.
They use eyeshadow to whiten their teeth
Celebrities smear creamy white eye shadow over their dentures if they need an extra boost of brightness and whiteness. It’s a temporary fix, but it’s hardly noticeable and will last long enough for posing and photo ops.
They wear dry shampoo on the neck
Celebrities apply a bit of dry shampoo strategically on their hands and necks in hot weather or when the stage heat can make their hair stick around their neck. The shampoo will eliminate any chance of having strands of hair sticking to sweaty skin.
They comb their hair with a toothbrush
It’s common to see celebrities on the red carpet with sleek updos who don’t have a single hair out of place. To make even those unruly hairs in the front stay put, they use a somewhat strange finishing touch: a toothbrush sprayed with hairspray. That way, the rest of the hairstyle is not messed up, and any unruly hairs keep still.
They use deodorant to soften shoes
If the shoes a celebrity will wear to an event are too tight, either because her feet are swollen, or the size is a little small, a simple hack to solve the problem is to spray deodorant on the inside of the heel. It will soften the shoe enough for the foot to slide like silk into it.
They make their feet more comfortable with sticky bras and patches
Another hack to bring more comfort to their feet is to use bust patches instead of shoe inserts that can be too thick or just not useful, depending on the type of shoe they’re wearing. The patches, on the other hand, are almost invisible due to their texture and thickness and, at the same time, protect against chafing.
They use soap to tame unruly zippers
If a zipper refuses to go up or down correctly, celebrities just rub a bar of soap on it to make it slide more easily. The soap acts as a lubricant on the zipper and prevents the zipper from being ruined when you force it to move.
They wear a scarf to avoid makeup stains
Make-up stains can be a common inconvenience when dressing for a gala. Celebrities wear a scarf around their neck while putting on make-up to avoid that. Once the final styling touches are made, they remove it and are ready to rock the red carpet.
They get out of the car with both legs together
When stars wear dresses, arriving at the venue can be complicated since they may accidentally show more than they want to. To look glamorous even then, stylists recommend that celebrities always put both legs together and, in that position, move them out of the car door.
