Choose a gray pencil instead of black to line and smudge lash lines. "It softens the eyes and makes them look less harsh," says Herr.

Try Laura Mercier Kohl eye pencil in Stormy Grey, $19;

Neutral cheeks and lips can brighten the face without stealing the spotlight from a glittery party dress says Herr. Go for matte instead of shimmer.
