Elizabeth Banks Makeup and Hair

Find out how to do your hair and makeup like Elizabeth Banks

While many of you may know her as the ostentatious Effie Trinket from The Hunger Games, Elizabeth Banks possesses an abundance of natural beauty that she highlights well with a natural makeup look. This blonde-haired, blue-eyed beauty made a spectacular appearance on the red carpet for her latest film, What to Expect When You’re Expecting. Get the details on how to emulate this stunning look.

Elizabeth has fantastic skin, which is both bronzed and flushed, all at once. Start this look by using a primer on the face, and then applying a liquid foundation formula that provides sheer, yet buildable, coverage. Dust a matte bronzer along the temples, below the cheekbones and jawline, between the brows, and underneath the nose. Finish with a burnished rose on the cheeks, for a tanned, rosy glow.

For a soft, smoky eye effect, simply apply a sheer, sparkling-nude shadow on the eyelids, from the lash line to the brow bone. Then apply a steel-gray pencil liner to both the top and bottom lash lines. Curl the lashes and apply two coats of mascara.

Complete this look with a glossy, pink pout. A sheer, rose-colored gloss works nicely (megawatt smiles are optional).

To get Elizabeth’s tousled, bed-head look, part slightly damp hair a little bit off-center, and apply your styling product of choice. Blow dry straight, and finish by taking small sections of hair and curling them with a wide-barreled curling iron. Style your hair so that it frames the face. Mist with hairspray to lock this sexy look in place.
