Stila Smudge Pot, $18 Makeup artist Sarah Lucero swears by this cream liner. "It's one of the best I've ever worked with. You can use it as a shadow or an eyeliner," she says. (Tip: If it gets dry on top, scrape off the top layer with a clean mascara wand to soften it. Then seal it tightly after use.)

I was surprised a Revlon product was included in this article.

I usually hate hairspray, but I'm definitely going to try that one!

I own that Revlon cream shadow that they showed in this and never even thought to use it as a highlighter on my cheeks or on my lips!!!! That is awesome to know!! I also have a Smudge Pot and it did dry out, which I was sad to see. I'm glad I didn't throw it out though like I almost did!!! That was a great tip that they gave about using a mascara wand to remove the top layer until its soft again. I loved this article and knowing the inside scoop that the Pro's use!!

Nothing but a thinly veiled ad! Sarah Lucero works for Stila.

Love these "insider" secrets!

Wish I read this article yesterday. I was in a flux about what hairspray to buy, and now I know the Loreal hair spray would have been the best bet. Thanks so much for the info.
