How-To: Anne Hathaway's MTV Movie Awards Makeup

Jun 2 2008 - 2:00pm

Of all the stars at the MTV Movie Awards, Anne Hathaway won the most love in the love it or hate it polls [1]. I like how this look is sophisticated and warm — and just perfect for a warm-weather date. Surprisingly, it's not that hard to re-create the look at home. For full instructions, .

FACE: Anne's skin looks even thanks to a medium-coverage foundation. I like Elizabeth Arden Intervene [2] makeup ($36) because it goes on smoothly, covers imperfections, and looks natural. After applying the foundation with a brush, cover any undereye circles with a creamy concealer. Bring a little color to your cheeks by applying a soft, shimmer-free rose blush such as Lancôme Blush Subtil [3] ($29.50) in Cedar Rose. If you would like to set your makeup with a translucent powder, feel free.

EYES: Use a brush to fill in any sparse spaces in your eyebrows with powder, but don't make it too perfect. For the eye shadow, you'll need a shimmery light champagne shadow and a medium brown shadow. (Since Anne is a Lancôme spokesperson, I'm going to guess that she's wearing two shades from the Cabana Sunset palette [4].)

Cover your eyelid from lash line to crease with the lighter shadow, but don't pull it up to the brow bone. Use a thin brush to apply the same shade just underneath the lower-lash line. Then, sweep the darker eye shadow along the crease of your eyelid and blend well. Using a sharp dark brown eyeliner pencil, line your upper and lower lash lines, going into the lash line. Curl your top eyelashes (here's how [5]) and cover them with two coats. Swipe a coat on the bottom lashes as well.

LIPS: Moist, full lips are key. If you have any flakiness, exfoliate by putting warm water on a washcloth and gently rubbing your lips. Then, apply a sheer pink lipstick such as Lancôme Le Rouge Absolue [6] in Pink Diamond.
