Krysten Ritter's Holiday-Party-Ready Smoky Eye
Krysten Ritter attended last night's NYC premiere of "Big Eyes" with a smudged out smoky eye that's perfect for the holiday season. She wore a black and gold, pleated J. Mendel dress and side-parted bun at the nape of the neck to round out her classic red carpet look.

To recreate Ritter's makeup, Amy Nadine prepped her skin with Eve Lom Flawless Radiance Primer, Pür Minerals Tone Up Eye Cream and Burt's Bees Beeswax Lip Balm. Nadine then applied Pür Minerals 4-in-1 Pressed Mineral Makeup Foundation with SPF 15 in Light all over the face, as well as Tom Ford Correcting Pen in Light under the eyes. Chanel Soleil Tan de Chanel Bronzer was used along the cheekbones, temple, hairline and jawline for a light contour, with Charlotte Tilbury Air Brush Flawless Finish Skin Perfecting Micro Powder in Fair dusted all over the face to set the makeup.

Nadine added a pop of pink to the cheeks with blush from the Pür Minerals These Eyes Don't Lie Limited Edition Set. And she applied Pür Minerals Chateau de Vine Mineral Lipstick in Scarlet to give Ritter's lips a hint of color.

To create the smoky eye look, Nadine applied the silver shade from the Pür Minerals These Eyes Don't Lie Limited Edition Set all over the lid, and she used the taupe shade in the crease. Nadine lined the upper lash line and inner water line with Pür Minerals Mineral Eye Defining Eyeliner in Onyx and added a few individual Ardell lashes before swiping on Pür Minerals Big Look Mascara.

Candice Swanepoel's Model Off Duty Look
When we caught up with Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel earlier this week, it became abundantly clear that while we may not have her long legs (sigh), we can try out her casual hair and makeup look.

We chatted about the holidays (Swanepoel is gifting the new Scandalous collection to her family when she heads home to South Africa) and the upcoming VS Fashion Show in London, which airs on December 9. "I'm living in sweatpants and sneakers right now because I'm always at the gym or traveling," Swanepoel says. Then we headed straight over to hairstylist Harry Josh and makeup artist Hung Vanngo so we could copy Swanepoel's gorgeous beauty look for ourselves.

"Candice was in the mood to do something really natural and tousled," Josh says of the supermodel's hair. To get the perfect undone waves, he says to focus on creating volume by applying mousse through wet hair and blowing out with a round brush. For added volume at the roots, Josh recommends wrapping the front sections in Velcro rollers while the hair cools. Then, use a 1-inch curling iron and "haphazardly take 1-inch sections around the head … and then shake [the curls] out for a beachy texture."

For her model off duty makeup, Vanngo says it was all about simplicity by concentrating on "keeping the skin very fresh." For the eyes he used a brown shadow (try CK One Powder Eye Shadow in Evolved on the lid and Infinite on the inner corners), liner and mascara (Swanepoel swears by Max Factor). To finish the look, Vanngo says to add a light pink cream blush on the cheeks and a lip balm.

How to Copy TSwift's Billboard Beauty Look
If there's a music awards show happening, odds are Taylor Swift is walking away with at least one win -- and she'll do it in her signature red lip and black liner look. It's classic yet predictable. Which is why we can't get enough of the totally unexpected fresh-faced look she wore for her "Billboard" magazine cover.

"To give her glam a little edge, I went for a crisp burgundy eye and a neutral look," says makeup artist Brett Freedman. He prepped her skin using Dermalogica Ultra Calming Mist, $34, and Murad Renewing Eye Cream, $75, before applying Make Up For Ever Mat Velvet + Matifying Foundation in #35 Vanilla, $36, for a flawless, shine-free finish. Next, he applied Clé de Peau Beauté Concealer, $70, on the lids and under eyes, and set Swift's base with Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Pressed Finishing Powder, $34.

To highlight her cheekbones, Freedman used IT Cosmetics Hello Light Anti-Aging Creme Luminizer in Radiance, $24. And for Swift's on-trend burgundy eye, he applied MAC Eye Shadow in Sushi Flower, $16, with a damp brush for a cream shadow finish and Tarte Amazonian Clay Waterproof Liner in Fig, $22, to the top and bottom lash lines. Freedman then layered four coats of Kevyn Aucoin The Volume Mascara in Rich Pitch Black, $28, and highlighted Swift's inner eyes with Benefit Girl Meets Pearl, $30. He filled in Swift's brows with Brett Brow Duo-Shade Pencil in Pale Blonde, $18, and brushed them with Arch-Control Gel, $18.

For a neutral pink lip, Freedman used Dr. KISS Satin Finish Lip Balm, $12, before applying Tarte LipSurgence Matte Lip Tint in Exposed, $24.

Alexa Chung's Perfect-for-the-Season Red Lip
Alexa Chung kept her signature tomboy-meets-chic sense of style but left her other signature look -- her perfect cat eye flick -- behind at last night's British Fashion Awards. Instead, Chung, who is a three-time winner of the British Style Icon Award, opted for softer doe-eyed makeup and saved the drama for a poppy red lip that's perfect for the holidays.

To get the look, makeup artist Liz Pugh swept Eyeko Me & My Shadow in Chocolate along the top and lower lash lines, blending the two to give the eyes an almond shape. Next, Pugh applied a thin line of Eyeko Making Eyes Automatic Gel Liner in Pitch Black to the top lash line only, and used Eyeko Me & My Shadow in Taupe on the lid for a soft champagne color.

To finish the eyes, Pugh curled Chung's lashes and applied Eyeko Eye Do Mascara before filling in Chung's brows with Eyeko Brow Liner and brushing them into place with Brow Gel. For the stand out red lip, Pugh used Nars Lipstick in Jungle Red.

Kendall Jenner's Estée Lauder Campaign Look
When Estée Lauder announced Kendall Jenner as the newest face of the iconic brand this past weekend (complete with some gorgeous behind-the-scenes pics), we immediately fell in love with this soft smoky green eye -- a look we think Jenner herself probably enjoyed. "I like a good eye," Jenner told model Joan Smalls, another Estée; Lauder campaign star, when asked about her favorite makeup in arecent interview.

To get the look, Estée Lauder global makeup artist Victor Henao mixed Estée Lauder Pure Color Stay-on Shadow Paint in Steel with the Pure Color Envy Sculpting Eye Shadow Palette in Untamed Teal for a gray-green shade that can easily work for both day and night. Henao used Pure Color Envy Sculpting Lipstick in Potent and Pure Color Gloss in Rock Candy on the lips to balance the look.
