Lili Reinhart

Though she's been known to go glam on the red carpet, "Riverdale" star Lili Reinhart's day-to-day look pretty low-key. She shared with Byrdie that, like her onscreen counterpart, she favors Clinique mascaras: "For eyes, I love to wear this Clinique mascara because I really like a thin, precise brush. I'm not a fan of huge, chunky lashes, so Clinique's formula delivers a really beautiful finish, and I also use its concealer."

Blake Lively

On days off, Blake Lively likes to keep things au naturale. One of her tips for keeping her look simple? She uses a light lipstick as a multi-use face product. As she explained to Vogue, "I'll blot on my cheeks and eyelids. I learned that from a make-up artist years ago — you take blush and put it on your cheeks, on the tip of your nose and wherever your parting is, as that's where you get the most sun. That way it never looks like blush, it looks like the warmth showing up on your skin, asymmetrically. Not like make up."

Red lipstick is Taylor Swift's signature look — so it makes sense that she's pretty much an expert in the stuff. Her secret to red lips that last and last? She told Redbook that when she really wants a long wearing look, she holds a "tissue against [her] mouth" then "[brushes] translucent powder over it, which sets the color."

Zendaya

Zendaya's Instagram is a testament to her amazing makeup skills. In a video tutorial detailing her "bare beat" makeup look she revealed that her secret to a natural, dewy glow is none other than... Aquaphor. She dabs the stuff onto her cheekbones, then layers a touch of regular highlighter on top for a little extra sparkle. "It looks like sweat.... but it's not," she quipped.
