Get this Eva Mendes look by applying pearly-white eye shadow allover the eyelid, extending it to the brow bone. Reach for an angled eye shadow brush to create a crescent of color in the crease. Sweep a dark shadow, such as dove gray or chocolate brown, back and forth in a sideways v-motion (extend it upward and outward to elongate the eyes and make them appear cat-like).

Rim your upper and lower lash line with a soft, jet black eyeliner pencil and extend it slightly beyond the outer of the eye. Lush faux lashes and defined brows will pull this Eva Mendes inspired makeup look together. To create a faux beauty mark, use a brown eyeliner pencil, sharpened to perfection, to draw a dot on your cheek.

Fill in sparse brows with a pencil that matches your hair color, stroking lightly in an upward, sweeping motion. On lips, opt for a light palette (think cotton candy pinks) or neutral colors (beige and copper shimmer). --Stephanie Simons
