Lucy Liu. Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagicGET THE LOOK: Buh-bye high-shine makeup! Lucy Liu's skin looks ready for the transition from summer into fall with an ever-so-soft dewy finish.
INSIDER TRICK: Avoid the greasies! Prep bare skin with an oil-absorbing makeup primer, which soaks up shine before it has a chance to affect cosmetics. After applying makeup, gently dab your T-zone with translucent powder. (Look for a finely milled formula, which looks natural, not dusty).

INSIDER TRICK: The best trick to get photo-friendly shimmer that's not too high-shine? "Build shiny blush across the cheekbones up to the temples, sweeping only a light layer at a time with a fan brush," adds Nadine.

INSIDER TRICK: Looks can be deceiving when it comes to nude lip gloss. If you wear it on bare lips, the final shade will look muddy. Instead, diminish pinkish tones in your lips with a light coat of foundation before applying nude liner and gloss.

Katie Holmes1. Square
When it comes to brows, the right shape can open and light up your face. For someone with an angular jaw like Katie Holmes, "Softness is key," says brow expert Anastasia Soare. "A rounder brow arch is needed to soften the corners of the face and create less sharp angles." The end of the brow shouldn't be too pointed, either, which would add another sharp line to this face shape.
Try This Product: "A mechanical brow pencil can create the appearance of fine brow hairs," says Soare, who recommends one from her own line or form M.A.C. Try a color that matches your hair exactly or is one shade lighter.

Ovals have a bit more freedom when it comes to brow shape, but the best shape is one that follows the brow's natural line of the brow bone and is slightly thick, but well groomed. "Beyonce's are on the full side, which balances the amount

Katherine Heigl. Photo by Jean-Paul Aussenard/WireImageGET THE LOOK: Nothing goes better with a bikini than a smooth, glowing faux tan. But unlike other objects of beauty, spray tans don't age gracefully. To get yours to last, take cool showers and blot (not wipe) yourself dry with a towel.
INSIDER TRICK: "To prolong your tan, smooth a light body oil, like Neutrogena, over your body before you shower," says celebrity spray tan expert Anna Stankiewicz, of Rita Hazan Salon in N.Y.C.

Uma Thurman on the cover of In Style
On Fashion vs. Style
"Fashion is the machine that drives the business. Style, on the other hand, is an unconscious gift that money can't buy. It's being comfortable not only in your clothes but in your own skin. I've always admired how European women have such effortless style, as though they've been culturally raised to wear clothes gracefully and effortlessly. There's something wrong about trying too hard to be fashionable. When people are too 'outfitted,' it comes across as self-conscious."On Her Taste in Clothes

"It has changed over the years. I used to be a bit more devil-may-care -- more wild and hippie. I have always been attracted to beautiful -- and beautifully made -- things, but I prefer comfortable, simple clothes.
