Rachel Bilson
____________________________________
BRONZED BOMBSHELL
Actress Rachel Bilson is commonly known for her understated makeup, so when we saw her out on the town all shimmered and bronzed, we definitely took notice. Many think that you can only rock a bronzed look in the summer, but this healthy glow looks great any time of year.
The key to this look is a great bronzer. Bronzers come in powders, creams, shimmered or matte. You should apply them to the high planes of the face (forehead, bridge of nose, cheekbones and chin) that naturally get sun.
|
BEAUTY BREAKDOWN:
Brows: Groomed and filled in
Eyes: Swept with bronzer, lined with dark shadow at outer corners, lengthened with black mascara
Cheeks: Heavily bronzed and layered with apricot shimmer
Lips: Unlined with lip colored gloss
Skin: Powdered finish

HYPNOTIC
Christina Ricci has a great sense of style. We came across the actress looking especially glamorous, and we were mesmerized. This look is perfectly balanced with a shimmery taupe eye and bee-stung glossy lips.
The key to achieving this look is to add a strip of false lashes to complement the rich hues washed over the lid.

SMOLDER
Kiera Knightly always has the right idea when it comes to makeup. This stunning look doesn’t disappoint. The lips and eyes offer a beautiful contrast to one another. Not a look for going grocery shopping, but a must for a night out!

Michelle Williams
____________________________________
60′S CHIC
I’m not sure if the hair has something to do with it, but Michelle Williams pulls off that hot 60’s look better than anyone. You’ll see some variation of this look popping up on the runways and in magazines all the time. It’s fun and easy to achieve.
The key to this look is having a white or cream-colored (depending on skin tone), matte or frosted eye shadow all over the lid. This will set the tone for that retro glamour. The rest of the look is pretty basic and goes nicely with stand-out eye shadow.
|
BEAUTY BREAKDOWN:
Brows: Defined and slightly darkened
Eyes: Light colored eye shadow all over lids. Full rimmed eyes (top and bottom) with a soft black kohl pencil. Dark, lengthening mascara for long, separated lashes.
