Kerry Washington

Looks best on: Medium or dark skin
Why we like it: Summer is a great time to experiment with color, and choosing a shade like purple, makes color wearable for those of us who are over 20.
Quick tip: To keep a bright shadow color in place, prime your lids by dusting them with a loose transparent powder before applying a purple shadow like MAC Mineralize Eye Shadow Duo in Odd Couple, $19.99.

Very helpful to see a list of good American-made beauty products. I'm trying to buy only USA manufactured good and this was a great source!

great looks!

I personally thing Kristin Cavallari's makeup made her look too old. MAC's mineralize eyeshadows from the Semi Precious collection are shimmery and sheer, perfect for summer!

I agree, the looks are fresh and great for summer. I can't do anything coral though, shame.

I love doing natural flirty and seductive eyes with a bold and juicy pout.
