In her role on the TV drama "Revenge," Emily VanCamp is on a mission to avenge her father's death. From a beauty angle, the actress combines class with a wicked edge -- only fitting for such a mischievous character. This look from the Dramatically Different Party last night is a great example. If you want to add some definition and color to your makeup routine, keep reading to see how to DIY:
1. Apply a mattifying foundation all over your face, like Shiseido The Makeup Dual Balancing Foundation SP 17, $38.50.
2. Use highlighter stick (we love Lola Highlighter Pencil, $20) over the top of your eyelids and at the edge of your bottom lashes.
3. Use an eyelash primer, like IT Cosmetics Tightline Full Lash Length Primer, $20, on your top and bottom lashes. Be sure to apply the brush as closely to your lash line as possible. Then use mascara to elongate your eyelashes.
4. Dab a little blush (we love CoverGirl Classic Color Blush, $5.39) over the apples of your cheeks.
5. Finish with a bright pink lip color, like Bite Beauty Luminous Crème, $24.

Beth Behrs plays a blonde 20-something who goes from riches to rags on "2 Broke Girls," a sitcom so funny we've had to swear off all liquids while watching it for fear of drowning by snort-laughing. Behrs may go for broke in laughs, but her traffic-stopping look for the Monsters University premiere last night is no joke. We love her romantic fishtail braid and natural makeup. Here's how to get both:
The Braid
1. On unwashed hair, apply a frizz taming serum, like Frizz-Ease Hair Serum, $5.99, from roots to tips. If you have bangs, style as desired.
2. Part your hair directly down the center. Clip one section over to the side. Start braiding two even fishtails on the clipped side. Be sure you angle your hair toward the front of your head. This ensures you'll avoid bumps when you pull the braids to the front.
3. Once you've created two braids on one side, gently tug the braids to loosen and widen. Pull the braids over the roots of your bangs, then secure using bobby pins.
4. Create two more braids on the opposite side of your head. Once you've braided to the ends, overlap the braids on top of the first set. Secure the ends with several bobby pins.
5. Finish with hairspray, like Umberto Regular Hold Hairspray, $39.76.
The Makeup
1. Apply a tinted moisturizer all over your face, like mark Get a Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion SPF 15, $12.
2. Next, use an eye-priming base (we love Colorevolution Mineral Eye Primer, $25.95) over the top of your eyelids. Next, dab a cream-based eyeshadow in a rose-gold shade, like Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Cream Eyeshadow, $19, up to your crease.
3. Sweep a little of the same cream eyeshadow under your lower eyelashes. Use black eyeliner to line your upper lash line.
4. Layer a black, volumizing mascara over your top and bottom lashes. Blot a shimmery blush (we love Lancome Blush Subtil Shimmer, $30, over the apples of your cheeks.
5. Finish with a nude lip gloss, like Bobbi Brown Lip Gloss, $24.

Dianna Agron is always as big a hit on the red carpet as she was on "Glee," and last night's "Bling Ring" premiere appearance was no exception. Her newly auburn hair was pulled up in a tousled bun -- perfectly chic and ideal for summer. Here's how to get her look:
1. Apply a smoothing serum, such as Redkin Glass 01 Smoothing Serum, $28, to damp hair, then blow dry evenly using a round brush. If you have bangs, let them fall forward naturally.
2. Once your hair is dry, apply a styling gloss (we love Ojon Animated Styling Cream, $24) to the top and back of your hair as you gather it up to a high ponytail. Use a soft brush to smooth the sides as you go. Make sure to leave your bangs and face-framing pieces out as desired.
3. Tease your ponytail ends gently using a fine-toothed comb. Then, wrap the ends around the base of your elastic, forming a loose bun. Secure with bobby pins or a spin pin, such as Goody Simple Styles Spin Pin, $5.99.
4. Finish with a flexible hold hairspray.

If the "Twilight" movie phenomenon taught us beauty junkies anything, it's that gorgeous hair is expected of its leading ladies. Kristen Stewart surprised us with trend-worthy, intricate updos and Ashley Greene showed us just how glam tousled waves can be. Nikki Reed showed up with this gorgeous, swept-away braid at the 22nd Annual MuchMusic Video Awards. Steal her style with this step-by-step guide to her voluminous French braided chignon.
1. Apply a texturizing serum, like Frederic Fekkai COIFF Bouffant Lifting & Texturizing Spray Gel, $25, throughout your hair from roots to tips. Scrunch your fingers through your hair to diffuse the product and create texture.
2. Create a deep side part, then separate a 3-inch section of your hair from your part to the top of your ear. Clip the back portion out of the way as necessary.
3. Loosely French braid this section from the part, along the perimeter of your hair, and down to your ear. Once you reach your ear, braid the rest of this hair as usual and clip to the side.
4. Gather the rest of your hair, including the braided section, into a ponytail at the nape of your neck. Tease the ponytail ends gently, and then wrap the ponytail around the base of your elastic to form a bun.
5. Finish by misting with hairspray, like Pantene Pro-V Classic Care Touchable Hairspray, $8.99.

We doubt you'll ever find any of those scary "celebrities without makeup" shots of Miranda Kerr. Even when she's running mundane errands, the Victoria's Secret Angel is drop-dead gorgeous. (With a little help from her favorite things, of course). Here, Kerr is shopping in a department store in South Korea, and demonstrates just how stunning a simple slash or two (in this case, a subtle cat eye and bold red lip) can be. Here's how to DIY:
1. Apply a sheer tinted moisturizer, such as Nars Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer, $42, to clean skin.
2. Sweep a golden, shimmery eyeshadow over the top of your eyelids, then line with a waterproof liquid liner (we love Stila Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner $20). Slightly extend the cat eye outward and up for added drama.
3. Apply a strip of lashes over your top lashes, as close to your lash line as possible. Then, lightly blot a pink cream blush over the apples of your cheeks.
4. Use a nude lip liner, like Ulta Automatic Lip Liner, $13.50, to line and fill in your lips. Apply a long-lasting red lip color (we love Clinique Long Last Lip Color, $15) over your liner until fully blended. Use your finger to remove any residue inside your mouth.
5. Finish with a spritz of makeup setting spray, such as NYX Cosmetics Makeup Setting Spray, $8.
