Celebrity Secrets for Glowing Skin

Ever wonder how celebrities get their bodies to look so freaking good and glowing? We went straight to the source—the makeup artists responsible for making every inch of their skin look amazing—for our new story and check out Shiny, Happy People (on page 92 of the July issue). If you're lucky enough to be Beyoncé, that sheen is courtesy of a head-to-to rubdown with La Mer The Body Crème layered with L'Oréal Paris Glam Bronze Powder, says makeup artist Francesca Tolot. Other stars' secrets:

Exfoliate with a sugar scrub. Makeup artists recommend these because they're extra gentle on skin. Jennifer Lopez, for one, "is obsessed" Fresh Brown Sugar Body Polish, according to her makeup artist, Scott Barnes

Go for a rich body cream. These make skin extra soft and shiny, says makeup artist Mally Roncal. She likes Fekkai Créme Luxueuse Shea Butter Body. "You want something thick and yummy; if you turn the jar upside down, it shouldn't budge," she says.

Lube Up. Body oil adds a nice sheen but can be really messy. Makeup artist Troy Surratt recommends adding a few drops of oil to bathwater and soaking in it, or slathering on an oil-infused body balm instead. "My favorite product for dewy-looking skin is Benefit's Bathina—it doesn't transfer to clothes," Surratt says.

Highlighter isn't just for the face. When applied to the collarbone, shoulders, shins, and the tops of the thighs, it gives skin a gorgeous sheen. "I have one celebrity client who likes highlighter on the tops of her feet when she's wearing sandals," says makeup artist Jillian Dempsey. "Try a luminizing stick; run it lightly down the shinbones and over the tops of the feet, then rub it in well." (We love Nars The Multiple in Copacabana.)
