One of the best things about my job is that I have celeb hair stylists and makeup artists on my speed dial. No lie. If I need a quote for a story, to find out how Sarah Jessica Parker's hair was done for a red carpet or selfishly have a question I always have someone fab to call for advice. Here are some of their most out of the box beauty tips that may be wierd, but work! For a natural, wavy set of hair, take tin foil and morph it into a rod/cigar shape. Wrap your hair around the it from end to root and then fold it in half to create a clamp. Take a straightening iron clamp it over the tin foil. The finished look will be a beautiful soft wavy buckle. - Rodney Cutler, Founder of Redken/Cutler Salons

When painting eyebrows, use a darker color to define the inner lower, and outer portions and fill in the center with a neutral soft color to create a defined brow that reads in pictures but still looks natural. - NYC New York Color Celebrity Makeup Artist, Mathew Nigara

For sexy bedhead, after curling your hair, spritz hairspray into your brush, then brush out the curl for more defined waves. It's a better techinique to finish and polish the hair than spraying the hairspray directly onto your waves. - Joseph DiMaggio, L’Oréal Professionnel Master Session Artist

My all time favorite tip is to use a highlighting eyeshadow to trace the perimeter of the lips. This makes your lips standout and look fuller without using a lip liner. - Carmindy

Mix lipstick with moisturizer to tone it down and use it on the eye lid. This makes for a great glossy lid look, or you can use it as a base and layer powder shadow on top. - Neutrogena Makeup Artist, Michiko Boorberg

Use Lubriderm lotion as styling product in curly hair. It has the right texture and will save you money on styling product. - T3 Lead Stylist, Dan Sharp.

It's no secret that the key to rocking a bold lipstick shade is confidence, but until recently I couldn't bring myself to do it and I don't think it was confidence that I was lacking. Instead, it was lack of what I like to call lipstick knowledge. I'm a gloss girl. I spoke with Celebrity Makeup Artist, Carmindy and got some tips on how to pull off a bright lip with pride like Jessica Alba. 1. How should you prepare your lips for a bold or bright colored lipstick?

First buff them with a little white sugar and a washcloth. Then add a bit of balm and do the rest of your makeup first. Then by the time you apply your lip color they will be nice and moist and ready to go.

2. When wearing a bold color how should you wear the rest of your makeup?

Keep it simple and let the lips be the star of the show. Cheeks should have a simple pink flush and eyes should be neutral with black mascara.

3. What's the key to making color on your lips last?

You can line the lips first with a matching lip liner and then fill them in with the liner. Then apply lipstick and don't gloss. Let the bold color do all the work as gloss on top would be overkill.

4. Would you say wearing bold lip color is high maintenance?

It only is if you don't prep and apply it correctly from the start. You can just add a bit in the center of the lips throughout the night if it wears off.

5. What type of person can rock this lip look?

Anybody can with a positive confident attitude!
