Beauty Secrets of the Stars
Halle Berry
Style Not one to be shy, Halle stole the show at the X-Men premiere with a daring bikini top. But she also knows when old-fashioned movie-star glamour is called for.
Makeup One of the actress's favorite features are her eyes. Makeup artist Laura Mohberg uses Revlon's Coffee Bean eyeshadow quad. She brushes a light and then a dark shade over Halle's lids.
Hair Halle's trademark is her short, spiky cut. Her stylist, Neeko, applies setting lotion to her damp hair, blow-dries it straight, then sprays on Sebastian Laminates Hi-Gloss Spray. He goes over her dry hair with a flatiron.
Editor's Pick For smooth hair, also try: Frizz-Ease Instant Touch-Up glossing spray.

Sciences
Style At $20 million per movie, Julia is the highest-paid actress in Hollywood. But the pretty woman's style is anything but flamboyant. She prefers classic looks; her favorite designers are Calvin Klein and Vivienne Tam.
Makeup Julia likes a "fresh face" look, says makeup artist Genevieve. She smoothes tinted moisturizer on Julia's skin and tops it with Stila Convertible Color cream blush in Rose. To give the star's full lips a matte finish, Genevieve uses a sheer-tint lipstick such as Laura Mercier in Healthy Lips.
Hair This star enjoys experimenting with her hair. Last spring Julia became a redhead, and her stylist, Serge Normant, gave her what he calls a "blunt shaggy" bob. The upkeep couldn't be easier: She applies Back to Basics Firm Hold Gel and lets it dry on its own.
Editor's Pick To get a Julia-like natural look, also try: Maybelline Pure Blush in Pure Plum.
Gwyneth Paltrow
Style Whether she's wearing a Ralph Lauren gown or hip huggers and a halter, this trendsetter always looks glamorous. Her top style secret? Confidence.
Hair For Gwyneth's sleek, smooth look, celebrity hairstylist Oribe uses mousse on her damp hair and blows it straight with a flat brush.
Makeup To give Gwyneth her glow, makeup artist Scott Barnes uses Shu Uemura's sheer fluid foundation. He plays up her eyes with a neutral shadow and lots of mascara. He applies Nars Color Wash in Pussycat on the apples of her cheeks and along the bone.
Editor's Pick To get Gwyneth's flawless look, also try: Neutrogena Healthy Skin liquid makeup in Fresh Vanilla and BeneFit's benetint.
Rene Russo
Style In The Thomas Crown Affair, Rene wowed audiences with sophisticated designer duds that showed off her sexy curves. Offscreen, this mom of a young daughter is most at home in casual clothes.
Hair Rene's no-fuss layered bob is best for wavy hair, says her stylist, Enzo Angileri. Her hair is longer in the front so she can push it behind her ears.
Makeup So that Rene's blue eyes will pop, makeup artist Shane Paish uses a shimmery shadow, such as Vincent Longo's Seashell, on her lids, and contours with a coordinating shade like M.A.C's Camel.
Editor's Pick To create an eye-opening look, also try: Estee Lauder eyeshadow in Twilight; contour with Bonne Bell Eye Shades in Cashmere.
Ashley Judd
Style This actress likes her fashion feminine and flirty. But underneath it all must lurk a tomboy -- she often hits the track with her husband, race car driver Dario Franchitti.
Hair When Ashley wanted a new do, she trimmed her own hair on top to show stylist Beth Miller just how short to go. Her layered razor cut ends below her ears.
Makeup To give Ashley her dewy complexion, makeup artist Felicity Bowring applies Laura Mercier's foundation primer, adds Prescriptives Illuminating Liquid Potion for an "opalescent glow," and finishes with a sheer foundation.
Editor's Pick For picture-perfect skin like Ashley's, also try: Avon's Anew Skintrition primer and L'Oreal On-the-Loose Shimmering Powder in Mystified.
Jennifer Lopez
Style This Latin beauty's favorite look: va-va-va-voom. Whether she chooses clingy or baring, it's a safe bet that Jennifer will make a dramatic fashion statement.
Makeup Makeup artist Matthew VanLeeuwen puts the accent on her eyes. The trick for full, lush lashes: He lifts Jennifer's upper eyelid and applies powder liner with a small flat brush under the lashline.
Hair To keep Jennifer's hair soft and healthy, Oribe uses Kerastase (L'Oreal's pro line) Nutri-Liss before blow-drying.
Editor's Pick For sleek hair like Jennifer's, try: Alberto VO5 Sheer Hairdressing Lightweight Leave-In Anti-Frizz and Shine Creme.
