If you're single, you already know dating can be a tough scene. So many questions plague the modern day woman: Should I pay? Should I call him first? If he doesn't call, should I call? Or text? Blah, blah, blah. With so many uncertainties, it's good to have one thing you're totally sure about as you set out on each and every dating adventure -- that you look and feel like your sexiest self.

Celebrities like Kerry Washington and Camilla Belle know that being sexy is all about owning (and playing up) your best features. You know what you've got, so work it to your advantage by taking inspiration from these irresistible celebrity hairstyles and makeup looks. Bold lips, daring eyes, flirty hair -- all of these looks will work well for day or night dates, or heck, even day dates that turn into night. They're sure to make any guy melt for you.

So whether it's your first date or your fiftieth, be confident and sexy in your skin by turning up the heat with these easy celebrity looks. Oh and as for all those previous dating questions -- you might want to consult another site; we're all about the beauty advice here. Sorry.

Leave a mark on your man with blindingly (in a good way) bright lips like Ricci's. These bold lips aren't necessarily the most kissable, but they're sure to make a sexy statement. Try MAC Lipstick in Russian Red or Lickable, $14. To make the color really last, dust your lips with powder before applying lipstick, then blot.

Underwood's flirty flip works on short to long hair. To get this look, bust out your hot rollers -- the longer your hair is, the larger your rollers should be (try Conair Instant Heat Rollers, $14.99, which come in a variety of sizes). Roll all of your hair up into the curlers and let them set for 10 minutes before taking them out. Next, secure hair half up using bobby pins, allowing a few face-framing wisps to fall free.

Create smoky hot eyes like Cotillard's for a sultry date-night look. This look is a cinch to achieve if you use a smoky eye kit like Tarte Peep Show Smokey Eye Palette, $37, which includes all of the brushes, eyeliner and eyeshadows you'll need. Start sweeping shadow from lashes to creases and along your lower lash lines. Then line your eyes and inner rims with pencil liner. Finish with multiple coats of mascara.

Bring back your barrettes to create this romantic hairstyle. Slick back one side of your hair and place your clip right over your ear for a '40s vibe. Pick up a pearled or jeweled accessory like these from Karina, $3-$12.75, for an extra-glam finish.
