We know everyone has their opinions about LL, but you have to admit that she sure works hard at looking perfect for her many public appearances. Check out LL here at the Grand Opening of Social Hollywood in support of African Outreach. She pairs a classic white look with a shocking shade of red lipstick that is guaranteed to get her noticed. Sometimes finding that perfect shade of red is difficult but when you find the right one, you know others wont forget it.

Since celebrities usually have their make-up professionally done for these big events, it's pretty hard to tell what exactly they are wearing. However, we think we can make a fairly educated guess. To see what we think LL might be wearing, read more

By now, we all know that Lindsay's favorite Lip Gloss is Stila Lip Glaze in Papaya $20. It's a color that you can wear over anything and it's a great sheer red shade to match her hair and skin coloring.

But here, I'd bet she's wearing a red from Julie Hewett's collection called Sin Noir. This is for someone with reddish hair color and skin tones. You can dab it on as a stain or apply it with a brush for a deeper bright wine looking color.

The trick to red lips is lining them evenly and dotting concealer and powder around them so the color doesn't bleed. Also, before you apply the lipstick, powder your lips for longer lasting color.

Joan Holloway proves that you don't need to show skin to be the hottest woman in the room. (OK, she's often the only woman in the room, but still.) The Mad Men character has a sultry secretary style that would still turn heads today.

Makeup artist Debbie Zoller researches every character's look to make it as authentically '60s as possible, and she emphasizes Joan's personality through her makeup. "Joan knows how to get what she wants by using her skills and sexuality," Debbie says. "She reads all of the latest fashion magazines and knows what works best for her to make her presence known at Sterling Cooper. I play up her amazing eyes so she can mesmerize every man she comes in contact with."

For the behind-the-scenes scoop on the precise products used to transform actress Christina Hendricks into Joan Holloway, read more.

Face: Debbie uses Laura Mercier foundations to create a peaches-and-cream complexion, followed by Lancôme dual-finish powder to keep her skin matte. She then dabs Julie Hewett Cheekies on the apples of the cheeks. "I have [Christina's] smile so I know exactly where to put it," Debbie says.
Eyes: In true '60s style, Debbie strokes black Dior liquid eyeliner on the top lid. She then uses watercake mascara on the top lashes only.
Lips: "The lips are lined first with a lip liner that matches the lipstick we choose," Debbie says." She frequently turns to Laura Mercier lipstick in Baby Lips, a sheer pink; and Mistress, a pinky red.
