Penelope Cruz's Makeup Tricks

How to do your makeup like Penelope Cruz

Penelope Cruz was inarguably born to land on Hollywood's Best Dressed and Best Tressed lists. Flawless makeup and super shiny hair are the proverbial icing on this Spanish cupcake. Think meticulously arched brows, pale lips and smudged eyeliner (the effect is dramatic, but glowing). Here are a few beauty tips to keep you up to speed with Penelope Cruz's makeup. Try it on in our virtual makeup studio.

Get Penelope Cruz's smoky eye makeup by applying eye liner using a flat-head eyeliner brush dipped in black eye shadow. Press the head of the brush into the underside of the top lashes. This will give you extra depth and darkness around the lashline. On your bottom lashes, use a black eyeliner pencil to rim the inside (pink part) of the eye. Be sure to soften a freshly sharpened eyeliner pencil on the back of your hand first.

Light lips are Penelope's signature makeup look, even in the evening. Wear neutral lipsticks that are a few shades deeper than your natural skin tone, or a soft baby pink. Skip the lip gloss to keep the look matte and Penelope-perfect.

To copy Penelope Cruz's hairstyle, experiment with your hair slicked back or worn down, cascading around bare shoulders (big, shoulder-dusting earrings are a must). You can achieve Penelope Cruz's voluminous, wavy hairstyle with hot rollers or a wide barrel curling iron. --Stephanie Simons
