PERSONAL MAKE-UP ARTISTS

For some, seeing the beautiful Scarlet Johansson or the super sexy Brad Pitt, is love at first sight but we know behind every smoldering star is a talented make-up artist.

Yes, that's right, Brad did not just roll out of bed looking deliciously unkempt.  It took celebrity make-up artist Jean Ann Black to put the perfect tint on those lips that make the world swoon. In fact, Brad knows this, as do many stars who keep their make-up artist on speed dial.

Much like when you find that stylist who does your hair exactly the way you want it and you stalk them from salon to salon, afraid that no one will understand your style the way they do, it's the same with make-up artistry - especially for the stars.

For them, their face is their livelihood and keeping it youthful and flawless could make or break their career.  It's not just about the roles they play, but how they market themselves off screen as well. So, when they find that artist who takes them from character to celebrity without batting a false lash it's only natural to want to collaborate as much as possible.

Some celebrities opt to have their favorite artists on board only for special projects, while others want them at their disposal for any and all occasions to keep their star burning bright.

Who are these magicians of the brush? Take a look at some of these well-known performers and the make-up artists that have brought out the best in them.
