How do the teen queens of today look camera-ready while distinguishing themselves from the pack? Check out how each young pop star gets their signature look. You don't have to be a teen queen (or have a platinum-selling budget) to be pop star fresh.

You can steal their style for less. Read on.

Taylor Swift

Teen queen Taylor Swift has made a career of looking gorgeous, and then singing about how awkward she is. What sets her apart from most teen pop stars is that Ms. Swift pens her own music. Taylor sports a whimsical style, simple makeup with dramatic liquid liner, and lots of soft curls.

Get this look with the help of a great diffuser like the Hot Sock, some smooth gliding liquid eyeliner like CoverGirl Line Exact Liquid Liner Pen, the right accessories--like a multi-tiered necklace. Throw on a sundress, and you'll have boys leaving you "on the bleachers" in no time. Wanna go blonde like Taylor? Try this natural, vegan hair color from Naturtint.

Miley Cyrus

You may have known Miley Cyrus as Hannah Montana's brunette alter ego a few years ago, but now Miley is coming into her own as a pop star in her own right, no alias needed. Recently, Miley has taken tips from teen queens past with her edgier, more daring look. Her new video "Can't be Tamed" stirred up controversy last week, but "she's just being Miley." Let a girl live!

To get Miley's look, pair long shiny waves, nude lips, and hipster style. To get hair like Miley, moisturize with a great conditioner such as Neutrogena Triple Moisture Daily Deep Conditioner, and throw some Curlformers rollers in while you get dressed. Miley teamed up with Max Azria of BCBG fame to do a line for Walmart inspired by her signature style. Miley keeps her lashes long with a great eyelash primer, and her lips nude with shade like Natural Nymph from E.L.F.

Demi Lovato

Demi Lovato came on the scene with her hit show "Sonny With a Chance," and made the transition to pop star recently with the release of her first album. Look, I'm a grown woman, but I have to concede that "Don't Forget" is a definitely sing-along-in-your-car fare. At 18, Demi knows how to look young and age appropriate, while still having that pop star flash. Leather accents and long bangs give a slight edge to her otherwise fresh-faced look. Demi keeps her makeup minimal.

Keep brunette hair like Demi's looking rich with a color depositing shampoo like Pantene Pro-V Brunette Expressions Daily Color Enhancing Shampoo. If you've overplucked, grow out your eye-brows to get a more natural, face framing look. Try this inexpensive eyebrow kit from E.L.F.  To complete the look, pair a simple dress with a great pair of leather or faux leather boots.

Here are her beauty tips, as relayed to Sugarscape.
