I love Zooey Deschanel's retro look. With those striking blue eyes and rich, chocolate brown hair, she's the embodiment of cool style — literally. If I had to color-match this adorable actress, I'd say she's right on target, keeping her makeup choices in the cooler-toned family.
At the premiere of Yes Man, Deschanel used silvery eye shadows to complement her silver dress and sparkly headband. Her pop-of-pink cheeks and subtle lip stain lent a brightness to her look.
Want some tips on how to achieve this snowy style? Check out my how-to when you read more.
- Eyes — Clearly the focus of this look. Start by heavily lining the upper and lower lash lines with a black eyeliner. Next, apply a shimmery lilac shadow such as Bare Minerals Eyecolor in Hyacinth or Mystic ($13) and two to three layers of black mascara — or some false eyelashes for maximum glamour.
- Cheeks — For that luminous, bright look, go for a creamy blush. Try DuWop Blush Therapy in Hug ($22), a bright baby pink.
- Lips — Try a pinkish tint with a soft glossy finish. I like CoverGirl Lipslicks in Starlet or Cutie ($3.39).
- Hair — Style with a round brush for sleek waves. Top off with a fun silvery headband like Forever 21's Chain Links Metal Headband ($3.80) or this sparkly Metal Headband ($15.29) from Target.

Not a huge fan...
1I bought/used the DuWop Blush Therapy in Hug and hated it. First, it's supposed to have some type of aroma therapy "scent" but it's terrible and ur cheeks smell weird all day (I understand smell is a unique sense for everyone but to me it was like cheap potpourri)
Second I didn't like how it "applied". I did it with my finger tips and straight from the stick. It was not sticky (like Tart cheek stains) it wasn't really creamy though either. There are better creamy blushes out there, this one is too solid to be "creamy".
On top of all that, the color was horrible. It was a totally unnatural color. I have fair skin with olive undertones and I was applying it on top of Smashbox tinted moisturizer.
I returned it to Sephora and bought Nars The Multiple in Riviera- it was the perfect pink shade and goes on better (I use the stick directly)
Actually in retrospect, I looked about as silly as Zooey does, the pink of hug is really unnatural- like a china doll.
2Too much eyelash for me, but other than that, I like it. She always looks fabulous--LOVE her!
3I always confuse her with Katy Perry, they look too similar
4I think she is SO much better than Katy Perry
5I don't think she's cute at all! yikes
6love zooey! but katy perry has stolen zooey's signature vintage look!
7I agree, Katy looks a little too similar to Zooey and Zooey has always had that style. Katy puts more tacky in it though....I wonder if this is her natural hair color? It's so much better than blonde.
8her and katy do look alike but i respect zooey much more
9I don't think she's particularly stunning but I like her style. She always wears great vintage stuff.
10I love Zooey, she's so quirky cute in a sea of fakey perfect plaster people.
11Agree that Katy is her look-a-like.
12Katy Perry is such a copy cat first she tries to be like Lily Allen and now Zoey Deschanel.
13hehe, i can't help thinking of katy perry whenever i see zooey, too. what if katy was zooey's alter-ego (or vice versa?) - wouldn't she totally rock?
