Here are the best of the best.

While A-listers in Hollywood have access to some of the top makeup artists in the world for red carpet events, the same stars are more frequently dropping the veil by way of social media, and in turn, revealing the makeup tips they’ve learned along the way.
Throughout the year, celebs like Hailey Bieber, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kylie Jenner revealed their go-to lipstick and lip liner pairings, and ultimately, steered the makeup trends because of it.
