Amy Adams
Amy Adams make-up is totally enchanting and appropriate for any holiday party. Simply apply a tinted moisturizer to achieve an even complexion, some mascara to enhance the eyes, and a bright red lipstick like M.A.C. Lipstick in Russian Red ($14.50 at M.A.C.) to make your teeth appear super white!
Blake Lively
Blake Lively looks beautiful with the brown-based neutral make up on her eyes, cheeks, and lips. Try MAC Powder Blush in Gingerly ($18.50 at MAC) to add warmth to your face.
Cheryl Cole
Cheryl Cole looks like she just got back from vacation with her bronzy skin. Unfortunately most of us will not be seeing a beach for months so we have to fake it. Try Nars Highlighting/Bronzing Blush Duo in Orgasm/Laguna ($39 at Sephora).
Christina Hendricks
Christina Hendricks has the perfect soft smokey eye! Try Dior 5-Colour Designer All-In-One Artistry Palette in Amber Design ($58 at Sephora) to recreate this look. Use a neutral color all over the lid, a dark shadow in the crease, and a light shimmery color in the inner corner of the eye and under the brow.
Eva Mendes
A nude lip looks great on everyone and is a great compliment to a dark smokey eye. Eva Mendes wore a light, icy pink lipstick that brightened up her whole face. Try e.l.f. Mineral Lipstick in Pouty Petal ($5 at e.l.f.).
Megan Fox
Megan Fox always has strong, perfectly groomed eyebrow. It is important to shape and fill in your brow because they frame your face. So tweeze, wax, or thread, then fill them in with a powder or a pencil like Maybelline Define-A-Brow Eyebrow Pencil ($5.49 at Drugstore).
Heidi Klum
Heidi Klum is totally rocking dark sultry eye makeup. Rim your eyes with a dark eyeliner like 24/7 Glide On Eye Pencil in Zero ($17 at Ulta), then add a light shimmery color to the inner corners of your eyes. This acts as a highlighter so you don’t look like a raccoon!

Jennifer Lopez
Is the cold weather is making you glum and a tad bit pastey? Well then it is the perfect time to get your a faux glow on! Exfoliate your skin then apply self tanner like St. Tropez Self Tan Bronzing Mousse ($34.48 at Asos). Don't worry you'll look more like Jennifer Lopez not an Oompa Loompa.
