Get a Pregnant Glow -- Without that Whole Having-a-Baby Thing

Is it just me, or is being pregnant, and still super cute, a celeb trend that will never go out of style? At any given time a handful of A-listers are bouncing around Hollywood with baby bumps, while remaining totally chic.

In fact, it seems that these women look even more gorgeous while they're pregnant (maybe it's because they're actually consuming more than lettuce and Starbucks? just a thought). Whatever it is, they've all got that mystifying "pregnant glow."

I would love to have that lit-from-within look, but I'm definitely not ready for a baby anytime soon. My solution? Use these tips to fake it. I just hope no one asks when my due date is …

Preggers no. 1: Jennifer Hudson gave birth to a baby boy Monday and looked so gorgeous throughout her pregnancy; there was no doubt she was expecting even though she never even confirmed it. To steal her glowing makeup look, check out these tips (from the makeup artist who did it!).

Preggers no. 2: There's also Ellen Pompeo, who is due in October. With pretty waves and natural makeup, Pompeo has been all over the town showing off her adorable belly and glowing skin. Her tousled waves are the perfect easy style for a mom-to-be, or anyone with limited primping time. Check out this how-to to get the look. And for her flawless, yet natural skin, try using a tinted moisturizer (I'm a fan of this one).

Preggers no. 3: Tiny mommy Nicole Richie is just as adorable during her current pregnancy as she was for her first, keeping her trademark Boho style even with a bun in the oven. See how to steal her braided updo here (no, you don't have to be expecting to wear it).

Preggers no. 4: Kourtney Kardashian (of reality show fame, in case you don't watch a lot of E!), just announced she is due in December. Kourtney's great tan keeps her radiant all year, (hopefully she uses one of these self tanners and isn't out in the sun). Get the most out of your self tanner with these tips.
