Celebrity Makeup

One runway trend that's making its way to Hollywood is bold, bright lips. Last night, the celebrities showed off a garden variety of lipstick shades, including pink, purple, and red. Kat Dennings attended the premiere of Iron Man 3 with hot-pink lips paired with icy silver eye shadow. At the Tribeca Film Festival Chanel Artists Dinner, Taraji P. Henson complemented her blue ensemble with an electric purple lipstick, and Olivia Palermo rocked a blazing red hue at a Rochas event. When it comes to lipstick this season, live by the motto: the brighter the better.

At last night's BAFTA New York celebration of Mad Men, the female cast members each showed off a different version of the metallic smoky eye. While their characters on the series would rarely be seen in such a dramatic beauty look, the modern-day women all wore the universal trend in a unique way. Christina Hendricks mixed a brown shadow with hints of shimmering pink to bring out her red hair and lipstick. Jessica Paré picked smudged eyeliner and taupe eye makeup for a classic sultry look. Finally, January Jones complemented her bright blue eyes with an indigo hue. Each star showed us how to customize the smoky eye look for different hair colors and features.

Emmy Rossum went for a '60s-inspired makeup look at the Jeffery Fashion Cares celebration last night. "We wanted to create a mod look, but bring it into this millennium with really clean, glowing skin and a dramatic eye," said makeup artist Jake Bailey.

To re-create the look at home, start by using a waterproof liner like Rimmel London Scandal Eyes Eyeliner ($7) on the top and bottom lashes and in the crease of the eye. Then smudge the liner between the bottom lashes before applying mascara to give the illusion of more volume. Apply a strip of false lashes to the top lashes to really make your eyes stand out.

Instead of using highlighter to add a glow, Bailey applied a light concealer below the brow bone. He also used cream blush to give her cheeks a dewy finish, while the T-zone was powdered for a matte look. As the final touch, he selected a pencil two shades darker than Emmy's natural lip color for a clean nude lip. Try Nars Satin Lip Pencil in Floralies ($25) for a similar shade.

As someone who always looks flawless when it comes to her hair, Zoe Saldana's preparation for her salon appointments is a bit shocking. "If I want to chop off my hair, I'll take scissors and do one side before I even go to the hairdresser," the star says in an interview with InStyle Hair, which she also covers this month. "For me, it's all about trusting my instinct. Plus, that way I can't change my mind!"

Zoe's instincts when it comes to her hair are actually taking her in a more natural direction. "At some point I want to chop mine off and learn to enhance my other virtues, instead of depending so much on my hair," she says.

At the Company You Keep premiere last night, attendees showed off an array of petal-pink lip colors that are right on trend for Spring. Instead of neon magentas or chalky pastels, the stars took a more natural and rosier approach to lip color. Anna Chlumsky chose a gloss that enhanced the color of her lips and paired it with natural eye makeup. Camilla Hansen went for a girlie take on pink with a pastel dress complemented with a flush of pink on her lips and cheeks and a dramatic curled tendril. But Girls star Zosia Mamet added some edge to her look by opting for a matte carnation lip color paired with smudged black eyeliner. Whether you go natural, girlie, or edgy, adding a pop of pink to your lips is universally flattering.

If you have a whirlwind schedule like Saoirse Ronan, who has been making the rounds to promote her movie The Host, it's important to know how to easily transition your look from day to night. The actress showed off her penchant for quick changes yesterday, taking her hair and makeup from an appearance on SiriusXM radio during the day to a screening of her film at night. And to achieve her look, all you need to do is follow two easy steps.

For the daytime, Saoirse opted for a classic low bun with champagne eye shadow, minimal eyeliner, and a peachy lip. But for her night look, she kicked things up a bit. Saoirse used her bun to her advantage and shook out her updo to reveal beachy, sexy waves. As for her makeup, she simply added a thick line of blue metallic liner around her eyes and added some gloss to her lips. The transition was quick, seamless, and amazingly easy to mimic, so you'll never be left without an event-appropriate look again.
