Ashley Tisdale, the charismatic actress and lifestyle guru with 6.1 million followers on Instagram, just dropped a look at the packaging she’s using to help others light up. Tisdale always seems illuminated, so her new cosmetics line being called “Illuminate” makes perfect sense. If there’s one thing Tisdale can teach her legions of fans, it’s how to shine.

The former High School Musical star is a natural for the beauty biz — and she’s a real student of the profession, not just a celeb putting her name on the box. Want to know how Tisdale went to school in the cosmetics biz? She took virtual classes from Mario Dedivanovic, celebrity makeup artist and creator of the signature Kardashian face. Tisdale says she took Mario’s master class and “sat there for 4 hours watching him do Kim Kardashian’s makeup.” That’s dedication. Tisdale says she was “in awe.” (And you thought Kim Kardashian just woke up that way!) Tisdale’s “Illuminate” will launch officially this spring. It’ll include a kohl eyeliner, eye shadow, mascara, lipstick and lip gloss — at the very least to start. You can sign up for news here.

Guys I’m so excited because my packaging is finally done!! Worked so hard on this and love seeing it come to life! Sign up to find out what’s inside! Link in bio!! #IlluminatebyAshley
