Ever wondered how celebrities maintain their flawless complexion? Making every picture of them a picture perfect one. Well, no need to wonder any longer, as a few celebrities have revealed their tips and tricks to their beauty regimen.

Christina Hendricks
Christina Hendricks, who plays Joan Holloway on Mad Men, mixes a small amount of foundation to her lotion when applying it to her legs. This makes her legs get that model glow as she struts her way on screen.

Miranda Kerr
The former Victoria’s Secret Angel reveals one of her weird beauty secrets. Kerr uses lip balm as a highlighter for her eyes. Just dab a bit around the corners and you’re all set! Make sure not to just lip gloss as it clogs pores, leaving behind a sticky situation.

Another beauty tip from this former Angel: don’t have an eyelash curler? No worries. Miranda uses a spoon to obtain the perfect curl! Make sure you have the bowl part facing up. Using your thumb to lean against the curve, just turn the spoon upward towards you. There! You now have the perfect curl, no need for that eyelash curler—that sometimes makes matters worse.

Lady Gaga
Need to remove your eye makeup? Well, according to Lady Gaga, she uses tape to get rid of that stubborn glitter from her eyes. (Use with caution!) If you try this secret, be sure to use fabric tape, as it is the gentlest tape for your skin.

Isla Fisher
Want lasting eyelash curls? Blow dry them! Isla Fisher uses her hair dryer to heat up her eyelash curler for about a second or two before she uses it to curl her lashes. Try it! It does wonders to make your eyelash curls last through the night.

While some trends come and go in the blink of an eye, there will always be a special place in fashion’s heart for the basic looks that were sported in the past. In today’s style market, style elements from the 60’s, 50’s and earlier are used all over the runway and in the look books of the top stylists. If you’re interested in dipping your toes into vintage fashion, but don’t want to look like you’re heading to a costume party, try incorporating vintage elements into modern looks to make a look that is unique and on-trend.

Retro Hair

Styling your hair into a vintage look can be a great way to call back to the past without restyling your entire wardrobe. Pin-up hairstyles are a great look for anyone willing to put in a bit of effort and product, and can look great paired with any outfit. There are thousands of tutorials online for great vintage hairstyles – don’t be afraid to experiment.

Vintage Cuts

Each generation had its own distinctive silhouette, and finding new items in that classic cut can be a great way to tap in to the vintage spirit without compromising on color, fabric, comfort, or price. Look for pieces that make you feel classic and elegant – high collars, demure skirts, narrow-legged pants can pull a look into the realm of retro, no matter how bold the rest of your outfit may be.

Colors, Patterns, and Fabrics

If vintage cuts aren’t quite up your alley, you can still capture the essence of the style by incorporating vintage hues or patterns into your outfits. Vintage-feeling fabrics, like lace and chiffon, can also lend to that old-time feel without compromising your favorite cut or fit.
