Eyes:
Step 1: Sweep gold shadow over your entire lid (try the {me} by Mezghan Naturally Me Palette, $35, which has all the shadows you'll need for this look).

Step 2: Mix taupe and brown shadows together (by dipping your brush into both) and blend into your crease.

Step 3: Blend taupe shadow along your bottom lash lines and then layer the gold shadow over it, smudging it slightly.

Step 4: Use a white or light cream shadow in the inner corners of your eyes.

Step 5: Apply a black pencil (try Wet n Wild H2O Proof Blending Eye Pencil, $2) on the top inner rims of your eyes only, keeping the line soft and not too noticeable.

Step 6: Curl lashes and apply a lengthening and volumizing mascara (try Too Faced Lash Injection, $19.50).

Lips:
Step 1: Apply a peachy-nude gloss (try Hourglass Extreme Sheen Gloss in Verse, $28).

Hayden Panettiere
This dramatic look is all about come-hither eyes.

Face:
Step 1: Apply foundation to even out your skin tone. Since the focus is on the eyes, you want the rest of your face to look natural.

Step 2: Mix bronzer and blush (try Sugar Tropic Tan Blush and Bronzer Duo, $28) and lightly apply it under your cheekbones, on your temples and along your nose and chin (where the sun naturally hits). Follow that up with a light dusting of just the blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Eyes:
Step 1: Apply a silvery-green shadow (try Maybelline New York Eyeshadow Singles in Antique Jade, $6.53) on lids then blend a peach-colored shadow (try Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Soft Shimmer in Apricot Spice, $14) in the creases.

Step 2: Smudge black eyeliner (try Wet n Wild H2O Proof Blending Eye Pencil, $2) or shadow on the outer corners of your eyes along your lower lash lines.

Step 3: Curl lashes and apply a coat of mascara (try Too Faced Lash Injection, $19.50).

Step 4: Apply a strip of false lashes (try Ardell Fashion Lashes No. 120, $3.79) to the outer three quarters of your lash lines (cut them to size before applying).

Lips:
Step 1: Fill in lips with a lip liner that closely matches your natural lip color (try N.Y.C New York Color Classic Lipliner Pencil, $1). Finish up by slicking on a nude gloss (try Hourglass Extreme Sheen Gloss in Verse, $28).

Anne Hathaway
This eye-enhancing look is perfect for an office party.

Face:
Step 1: Use a sheer foundation (try Nars Balanced Foundation, $40) to even skin tone but keep the coverage light; you still want your skin to show through.

Step 2: Sweep a rosy blush (try Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Petale, $40) on the apples of your cheeks to define them.

Next: Eye and lip how-to
