At Clinique's Dramatically Different Party last night, Emily VanCamp and Katharine McPhee decided to punch up their looks with a bold lip. Emily's hot-pink hue was a shade that bordered on magenta with purple undertones that works great with cool skin tones. On the other hand, Katharine's choice, Clinique's Chubby Stick in Mega Melon, was a muted mix of pink and orange, making the perfect salmon shade that complements warm complexions. "Kat is always amazing to work with! She is young and fresh so we kept the makeup simple with a pop color on her lips," her makeup artist Gianpaolo Ceciliato explained. Both looks have a hint of pink but are far more interesting than the average bubblegum shade. We know you'll be trying the bright lip trend this season, but which shade is your favorite from last night?

The New Way to Do a Milkmaid Braid à la Beth Behrs

Last night at the Monsters University premiere in LA, Beth Behrs did a new take on a favorite Summer style.

Last night at the Monsters University premiere in LA, Beth Behrs did a new take on a favorite Summer style. While we're used to seeing the classic milkmaid braid, Beth added even more texture by pinning up two fishtail braids instead. Her stylist Aviva Perea curled her hair in one-inch sections wrapping each piece in opposite directions. Then she used Dove Invigorating Dry Shampoo ($5) all over her hair to help add texture. Perea made four braids, two behind each ear. The braids were half fishtail with the ends being regular three-strand braids. She pinned up the braids to frame Beth's blunt bangs and left tendrils around her face to draw attention to the colorful eye makeup.

Her makeup artist, Jamie Greenberg, created the colorful eye makeup with a mix of pink, purple, and burgundy eye shadows to make her blue eyes pop. She started by applying a primer to lids for staying power. The pink shade on Beth's crease is Mark i-Mark Eye Shadow in Luvstruck ($7) mixed with a darker burgundy shade on the outer corners. Greenberg then used a purple hue to line the eyes. Finally, she layered black mascara with YSL Volume Effect Faux Cils Mascara in Burgundy ($30). Even though Beth wore this look on the red carpet, it's easily translatable to any Summer soiree this season.

Already we have seen marine-hued eye makeup on the runways and red carpet, and last night both January Jones and Taylor Swift tried on the trend. At the Women in Film Crystal + Lucy Awards, January lined her eyes with an iridescent emerald eyeliner with a cat-eye flick and a shimmer finish. The emerald hue also matched January's glittering green earrings for a polished look. Taylor wore a similar eye makeup look at the FiFi Awards. The singer mixed bronze shadow with shimmering blue eyeliner. Both women chose a winning combination with the blond hair, blue eyes, and sea-themed makeup. But who wore the look best?

And Rooney Mara stuck to blush and little else at the Social Innovation Summit. This makeup look is perfect for Summer, but who wore it best?

Get the Looks: Jessica Szohr and Rose Byrne at the Internship Premiere

Last night at the Internship premiere, Jessica Szohr and Rose Byrne both wowed the crowd with sultry makeup looks.

Last night at the Internship premiere, Jessica Szohr and Rose Byrne both wowed the crowd with sultry makeup looks. Jessica went with a sexy smoky eye, while Rose went with a lighter look that still smoldered. Find out the products and techniques used to create both red carpet looks.

Jessica Szohr played up her eyes with a subtle smoky eye. Her makeup artist Mai Quynh started by applying Shiseido Shimmering Cream Eye Shadow ($25) in Caviar (an inky hue) all over lids up to the crease. "I like to start with the eye makeup because I can clean up any fallen shadow on her bare skin," Quynh said. Then, she used a mix of the black and brown shades from the Femme Fatale Dolce & Gabbana Eye Shadow Quad ($59) in Jessica's crease. A touch of the black shade was also used underneath the eyes. Finally, Quynh lined the entire eye with Becca Automatic Eye Pencil ($23) and swiped on two coats of Diorshow Black Out Mascara ($25). This smoky eye is a look that won't overwhelm the beginner, and it's subtle enough to wear to an afternoon party. Make sure to balance the look with a soft lip like Jessica's Nars Satin Lipstick ($26) in Tolède.

Rose Byrne went with a lighter look that still had a touch of edge. "Rose's dress was so sophisticated yet sweet, so I wanted the makeup to be a little bit on the tougher side," said her makeup artist Monika Blunder. "My inspiration was Kate Moss — a rimmed black eye to create a smudgy, smoldering look." Her eyes were shaded with Chanel Quadra Eye Shadow ($43) in Premier Regard. Blunder applied the bronze shade to the lid first, then used the shimmering black hue on the outer corners and crease. She defined the eyes with liner, and three coats of mascara completed the eye makeup. Blunder complemented the dramatic eyes with peachy cheeks using a Chanel Powder Blush ($43) called In Love. The last touch was a nude lipstick, Rouge Allure Lip Colour ($34) in Gracile.
