They seem to have no idea what perspiration is, nature has given them twice as much hair as us mere mortals and, judging by their irresistible smiles, they really enjoy wearing ten-centimetre heels. But celebrities aren't superhuman, they just know the right tricks.

And we'll reveal these tricks to you so that you too can shine in the same way at all parties, balls and social events!

Trick with a brush

You have dreamt of a high ponytail à la Ariana Grande, but instead your hair has decided to throw its own party and is flying around your face relentlessly. Celebrity hair stylists solve the baby hair problem with a toothbrush, on which they spray hairspray and gradually tame all the fine strands. 

Conjure up more curls

Oh, one more hair trick. If you feel like you are lacking the necessary hair for an Oscar-worthy hairstyle, there is no need to blame mother nature for the injustice. It's not just on the heads of celebrities that little helpers called hairpieces or clip-in hair do their magic. And so, no need to fear them. If you choose quality pieces, you can attach them to your hair in no time and no one will suspect a thing. 

For that glorious red carpet hairstyle.

Foundation on the ears too

To make sure you don't give away how much foundation (or any) you have on your face, make sure you apply it to all visible areas - behind the hairline, on the neck and also on the ears, which can turn red due to extreme temperatures, which is not the best accessory with a little black dress. This way, your entire makeup look will have a natural and uniform appearance. 

A scarf as a shield

You finally manage to perfect your makeup, but here comes the thousand-dollar question - how not to ruin it when getting dressed? And how can you protect your clothes themselves from foundation or lipstick marks? Help yourself with a delicate scarf, which you can drape over your face before dressing. Simple and functional! 

Adhesive tapes for the cleavage

Who says that plunging necklines trailing down to the navel belong only to movie stars? If you don't lack the courage, feel free to wear a revealing dress too. But don't forget to use another trick - adhesive tape for the breasts. They are not visible, yet they provide a great push-up effect and keep everything in place. 

Enhance your décolletage!

Beat deodorant stains

Has deodorant advertising that it doesn't leave white spots caught your eye? Celebrity stylists have two aces up their sleeves for these unwanted dress embellishments. One is special sponges that remove white spots. If you don't have anything like that handy, dig into your drawer of pantyhose and try running them over the spots. 

The secret of infinite heels

Celebrities and their sky-high stiletto heels are one of the world's biggest mysteries. Or not? If you look closely at red carpet photos, you can detect the secret trick - often the ladies' heels are too big. And it's that one extra number (sometimes two) that will make the blisters take the night off for that important evening. Are we too late with this tip? Then try spraying deodorant on your shoes. It should make them softer and a little more comfortable to put on and wear. 

Help in a little envelope

You close the door behind you in the best version of yourself. But at important events, all it takes is one inadvertent step on your skirt and you may be remembered as "the one with the torn dress." In these cases, make your little envelope a last resort. If it fits more than a phone, throw in a safety pin, a needle and a piece of thread.

Relax

Sure, some of the tricks may be a little bizarre, but you'll love this one. Even the best make-up artist has a hard time concealing an unkempt and tired face, so professionals prescribe relaxation and proper beauty care to celebrities before an important event. Get a facial, go to the spa, or at least relax with a facial mask at home during the week. If you follow a drinking regimen, avoid junk food and ensure you get enough sleep, your look will be top notch! 

What do you appreciate when relaxing?

Now you know how to look like a superstar at your next party. All that's left to do is to practice the right poses, so it can be seen in all your photos!
