METALLIC EYE

RED LIP
Celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles says since copper and coral are both warm colors, they complement each other without being too matchy. For a look similar to Thandie Newton’s, try Buxom Stay There Eye Shadow in Golden Retriever, $17, sephora.com and M.A.C. Lipstick in Lady Bug. $14, maccosmetics.com.
SMOKEY EYE

PALE LIP
This is a classic look, great for nighttime…a matte lip, instead of the usual shine, updates the look. Products to try for Estelle’s look: Flirt! Silver Rebel Eyeshadow Trio, $15, Kohls.com and Make Up For ever Rouge Artist Intense #1, $19, Sephora.com.
BERRY EYE
+
PINK LIP
If you want to put together a daring pair try a purple shadow with a soft pink lip. While it seems like the colors may be too close, as you can see on Kerry Washington, it’s an outstanding match. For Kerry’s look use: Dolce & Gabbana The Eyeshadow Duo in Blossom, $36, saksfifthavenue.com and pair it with Neutrogena Moisture Shine Gloss in Vital Violet, $9, neutrogena.com.
DARK EYE

SPARKLY LIP
The dark eye and light lip look is a favorite of Zoe Saldana. Here, she takes it up a notch with a dark eyeliner. Zoe’s stunning look is easy to replicate with: Avon Perfect Wear Eyewriter Liquid Eye Liner in Evening Black, $8, avon.com and Urban Decay Lip Junkie Gloss in Midnight Cowboy, $19, urbandecay.com.
