Red carpet worthy Make up Tips

Take a look at our pick of some glammed up make up looks to suit your complexion and hair colour.

Does our skin tone play a part in which make up we can or can't wear? Of course! Let's see some tips from celebrity make up looks and make up trends for your hair colour and complexions. Read on for some make up tips and techniques which you can use to help in choosing the best make up look for you.

• CHERYL COLE Make up:

Cheryl Cole's celebrity make up is all about the eyes and eye make up. Her chocolate brown hair and olive toned complexion means she can apply false eyelashes and blend in darker eye make-up; those with fairer complexions struggle to do so. At summer parties, a good make up bronzer is essential to give your cheeks a healthy glow. This skin tone really suits coral and pink shades of make up, which look so fresh, so mix and match the nail and lip colours for a striking make up look.

• CAMERON DIAZ Make up:

Cameron Diaz with her blue eyes and blonde locks keeps her make up look simple on the red carpets, with a dewy foundation to give her skin a natural glow. Celebrity make up like hers requires the use of lots of mascara to bring out the blue eye colour. Blondes can play with make up lip colours, but use a great cosmetics lip base. For lips, Cameron's make up varies between soft pinks and bold red lips for a dazzling make up look.

• NICOLE KIDMAN Make up:

A pale skin and body complexion like Nicole's usually coincides with fiery red hair which is often the perfect palette for a host of make-up looks. Keep your make up simple and emphasize eyes with subtle eye make up like Nicole Kidman, with liquid eyeliner. Add lashings of mascara to darken fair lashes and a pale pink blusher on cheeks. Whereas the rest of the face can't take too much make up and harsh colours, the lips can so go bold - red and deep pink shades work rather well.
