Kerry Washington's bold blue choice is surprisingly flattering -- and anything but '80s. Paired with a soft pink lip and bare face it's incredibly modern.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Pastel Blue will give you a slightly lightened up look, while Bare Escentuals Velvet Eyecolor in Velvet Blueberry and Estée Lauder Pure Color Eyeshadow Trio in Arctic Zinc have lots of payoff.

Pretty in Pink
Pink eye makeup can be incredibly tough to pull off. Worn the wrong way, you could look like a sleep-deprived "Vampire Diaries" cast member or, worse, someone with a bad case of pink eye. AnnaSophia Robb succeeds by defining her eyes with black eyeliner and mascara, and using sheer pink lip gloss to tie it all together.

To recreate the look, try the Burberry Complete Eye Palette in Rose No. 10. Or play with shades of barely-there pink like Jane Eye Shadow in Verbena Matte and Chanel Illusion D'Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in 93 Impulsion.

I would totally turn my chair around for "The Voice" coach Shakira's soft lavender shadow. Instead of taking over her lid, the color is concentrated around her lashes -- both upper and lower -- which makes it much more refined.
