Taylor Swift switches it up and goes for a powerful mouth while keeping her eye makeup softer. To try this look, use a hint of black eye pencil along the upper lash lines and only the outer part of the lower lash lines. Then apply mascara or a pair of false lashes. For lips, line with a bright red lip pencil and fill in with a highly pigmented lip color using a lip brush for a more controlled application.

Emerald Smoke
Creating Kim Kardashian's smoky, yet colorful eye makeup look can be accomplished with a creamy jade green eye pencil. Begin by heavily lining upper and lower lash lines and smudging with fingertips. Next, use a black eye pencil to line the inner rims of eyes. Then sweep a matte eyeshadow in a shade similar to the jade liner along the upper lids and blend. Finish the look with lots of mascara.


Eyeliner Extravaganza
Selena Gomez's eyes feature lots of black liner and mascara and a few shades of blue shadow. To recreate her look, use a black eye pencil to line the inner rims of eyes and the upper lash lines. Next blend a shimmery medium blue shadow all over the upper lids and sweep it along the lower lash line. Then use a pale shimmery blue, silver or white shadow at the inner corners and along the brow bones. Finish the look with several coats of mascara.


Retro Chic
Beyonce's glamour girl look is perfect for holiday parties. To recreate her dramatic eye, smooth a shimmery pale pink shadow over upper lids, going from the lash line to the brow. Next, make a thick sweep of liquid liner along the upper lash line, flicking brush slightly past the outer corners. Then apply a generous coat of mascara. For lips, line with a classic red lip pencil and fill in with color using a lip brush.

Berry Wash
Olivia Palermo's subtly smoky eyes and satiny lips involve a palette of warm berry tones. To duplicate her eye look, begin by sweeping on a shimmery taupe shadow all over the upper lids. Next, add a little black liner along the upper and lower lash lines. Then pat a sheer warm blackberry shadow lightly over upper lids and blend toward the outer corners. Use a shimmery pink or pale gold shadow on the inner corners and along the brow bones. For lips, a sheer, satin finish lipstick in a warm or neutral rose shade works beautifully.

Magic Nail Art Celebrity


Mena Suvari Wears Midnight Blue Metallic
Mena Suvari's metallic midnight blue manicure is a definite favorite. We love the crispness and simplicity of her short, slightly squared nails paired with the dark, wintery color and metallic finish. To try Mena's look, we recommend Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure in Navy Baby.



Kelly Rowland's Magic Nails
Kelly Rowland's nail look could not be more festive. We love the autumnal palette of deep green, gold and copper and with the clear glitter top coat it's perfection. This look could be reproduced using any colors, making the creative possibilities endless. Grab three or four of your favorite shades and have a little fun dabbing on the polish at random. Then, add a layer of clear nail glitter or a pearly clear glitter top coat like Sally Hansen Diamond Strength Nail Color in Diamonds.


Julia Stiles' Plum Perfect Polish
Julia Stiles' nail look is so pretty that we had to add it to our list of favorite holiday options. It's not red, burgundy, black or purple. It's a rich, metallic golden plum that's super luxe and versatile. We can imagine how delicious it will be with anything from an edgy leather trench to a delicate lacy blouse. To try this look at home, we recommend Essie Nail Polish in Damsel In A Dress.
