01
Gabrielle Union

The ageless star, who at 41 is known for having the skin of a twentysomething, has worked with Neutrogena for about a decade. The brand’s Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes are a quick way to swipe off makeup at the end of a long day. Follow up with a gentle cleanser.

Jada Pinkett Smith

Shown here bare-faced at LAX Airport in Los Angeles this month, Jada’s skin is clearly glowing. To get that dewey look, apply a skin-brightening Vitamin C treatment like, SkinCeuticals C +AHA under your daily moisturizer (which should also include SPF).

Queen Latifah

The rapper, actress and television personality could clearly add “flawless skin ambassador” to her credits. To prep your skin for makeup and create the smoothest surface possible, try a hydrating primer like Illamasqua Hydra Veil.

Beyoncé

In a rare makeup-free moment, Beyonce posted this selfie while on vacation with Jay Z in the Domincan Republic. For an even complexion sans foundation, repair skin over time with perscription retinoids like Retin A and Tazorac. The Vitamin-A derived class of skincare fade dark spots and increase collagen products.

Gugu Mbatha-Raw

Actress Gugu Mbatha-Raw’s skin looked radiant at this week’s Belle premiere. To get the glow,  makeup artist Nick Barose prepped her face with  Juara Tamarind Tea Hydrating Tone. As a base for foundation, he massaged in Juara Sweet Black Tea & Ginger Mattefying Moisturizer to prevent shine.

Lupita Nyong’o

Even skin as lovely as Lupita’s needs a little TLC. Shine can be a major issue for a skin type like this one. Apply a transluscent powder all over the face to set liquid makeup and prevent excessive sheen on the T-zone. We love Jurlique Rose Silk Finishing Powder.

Alicia Keys

Keys’ skin is so natural—even to this very trained eye it looks like she has on nearly no makeup. You couldn’t tell by looking at her now but the singer-songwriter once suffered from acne. To fight back, try a salicylic acid cleanser. And for more advanced cases see a dermatologist. We like perscription gel Aczone—it doesn’t increase light sensitivity or severely dry skin.

Paula Patton

For a smooth, glowy matte complexion like Paula’s try a liquid mineral foundation like BareMinerals BareSkin Pure Brightening Serum Foundation. The weightless liquid evens skin over time and leaves an airbushed, semi-matte finish.

Liya Kebede

Chic mom, Liya Kebede keeps her look minimal. For a low-fuss routine use an all-in-one BB cream moisturizes and treats your skin. We like L’Oreal Studio Secrets Magic Skin Beautifier BB Cream.

LaLa Anthony

LaLa Anthony plays up her cheeks with blush and bronzer. We love Make Up For Ever HD Blush. It’s a cream so it melts into the skin for a natural flush.
