You loved her as the ever so famous Joey Potter in the hit television drama, Dawson’s Creek and secretly envied her when Mission Impossible hottie Tom Cruise fell madly head over heels in love with her. So just what is it that makes actress Katie Holmes so downright irresistible? Well, aside from her loveable charm, we couldn’t resist the fact that she always seems to have such wonderful glowing skin. And while it’s quite obvious that Tom fell in love with more than just Katie’s glow, it certainly never hurt’s to have beautiful skin like hers.

To Get Glowing Like Katie:

Start with an exfoliating scrub that is specifically designed for your skin type. Apply by gently rubbing the scrub in a circular motion with your fingertips. Rinse with warm water and pat face dry with a soft towel. If your face tends to be dry, apply a moisturizer.

Next, apply a foundation to any areas of imperfection that you want to cover. For a translucent effect, blend the foundation using a lightly moistened sponge. To keep the glow, don’t set your foundation with powder.

Sweep a beige eye shadow across eyelids and into the crease, blending carefully to avoid unwanted lines. Next, apply a creamy white shadow under the arch of your brows. Line the lower rim of your lash line with a dark brown eyeliner and lightly blend. For more dramatic eyes you can add a few individual false lashes to the upper lash line before you apply your eye shadow. Once the false lashes are dry, you can apply a coat of dark brown mascara. For even more drama, use a full strip of false lashes instead of individuals.

Next, apply a barely-there pink blush to the upper part of your cheekbones. To do this, suck in your cheeks and apply the brush along the upper cheekbone area, blending toward the hairline. To buff away any sharp lines, use a makeup sponge to blend. For oily skin, use a powder blush. If you have dry skin, try a cream blush. To Use: Dot the cream onto cheeks and blend with your fingertips.

Finally, apply a softening lip balm over your lips and wait a minute or two. If your lips chap and flake, try rubbing a toothbrush over your lips before applying the lip balm to exfoliate them. Using a lip brush, fill in lips with a classic pale pink lipstick. To add a touch of shine, apply a clear gloss over the lipstick. If you would like, you can go an extra step by lining your lips with a lip liner that is a similar shade of color as your lipstick.

Remember to practice this look a few times before you try it for a big event. The way to a great look is to take your time when applying makeup. Never rush. Another key trick to great a great look is to blend, blend and blend. You don’t want harsh lines to ruin that beautiful glow!
