Green Eye Shadow

"Notice both Freida Pinto and Demi Moore have these intense, amber-colored eyes," says makeup artist Pati Dubroff, who works with Jessica Biel, Amanda Seyfried and Megan Fox, among others. "There's something about green shadow that makes eyes really golden."

EXPERT TIP "I consider green a neutral eye shadow, but it's important to be very measured when you use it," says Dubroff. Keep the shade below the crease of the lid to avoid looking overdone, and reach for a brown liner for definition. A smudge under the bottom lashline can also have subtle impact.

Berry Lip Stain

Although it’s a bold shade, berry stain is actually quite versatile, explains Dubroff. “For someone with fair skin, like Alexa Chung, a dab pressed into the lips makes a statement,” she says. “For someone with an olive complexion, like Jessica Alba, a heavier application works.”

EXPERT TIP Tailor your application method to your skintone. Pale complexions look best with a sheer wash of color; darker complexions can handle a thicker, more opaque finish.

Cool Pink Blush

"Both Angelina Jolie and Naomi Watts have beautiful cheekbones, so it's nice that they're using this soft shade to let them take precedence," says Dubroff. "They've also kept the color focused on the true apples of the cheeks, which helps the look pop."

EXPERT TIP Be sure the rest of your skin is clear and free of imperfections, which will help the blush stand out. "If you need a little contour, try a swipe of bronzer along your cheekbones," says Dubroff.

Persimmon Lips

"There's been a lot of orange lipstick on the runways and it's not for everyone," says Dubroff. "What's nice about this slightly pinkish hue that Cat Deeley and Krysten Ritter have chosen is that it gives a nod to that trend without going over the edge."

EXPERT TIP Persimmon isn't a bright and it isn't a nude-so pick your shade accordingly. "When you're standing at the makeup counter, look for a hue that's in the middle of the color range. And be sure to try this one on as the natural pigment in your lips will intensify the shade a few notches," she says.

Heavy Black Eyeliner

"Ellen Page's liner looks more blended, while Amanda Seyfried's is heavy and layered," says Dubroff. Either way, this look is about giving your eyeliner a sultry, lived-in feel.

EXPERT TIP According to Dubroff, a coating of liner along the inner rim of your bottom lash-also called the waterline-is the quickest way to amp up the drama. "I put it on my clients's waterlines, have them blink, blend the liner and start again," she says. "Building this imperfect, smudgy line is incredibly sexy."

"Layered silver, gold and bronze on the eyes is like wearing jewelry on the face," says Dubroff. She also notes that both Diane Kruger and Alexis Bledel kept the rest of their faces neutral-and opted for white dresses-to really work the look.

EXPERT TIP "Too much mascara can interfere with these sweet, sparkly shades," says Dubroff. "I tend to use brown mascara to keep it light."

Shiny Red Lipstick

"Red lipstick is a classic look that never gets old," says Dubroff. "The shine that Ashley Greene and Cameron Diaz have keeps the shade fresh and gives the illusion of plumpness."

EXPERT TIP A full mouth of shiny red lipstick can look a little clownish. Avoid that effect by using a creamy matte formula and dabbing the center of your bottom lip with a clear gloss.

"The perfect complexions you see on Jessica Biel and Thandie Newton are the product of healthy lifestyles-and amazing genetics," says Dubroff. "Luckily for the rest of us, there are a few great ways of faking it."

EXPERT TIP For many of us, foundation is intimidating-but if applied with a light touch, it's almost impossible to screw up. "Put a few drops on a brush and start at the center of your face, sweeping outwards," says Dubroff. "You're just evening any variances in color, not concealing blemishes." And skip the powder: While it's great for blotting out shine in photographs, it can dull the real-life dewiness of this look.
