Whew, ok, now that my moment of haterism has past, I pose the question – could Megan Fox have looked any more stunning at the Golden Globes? From the dress to the face to the hair, the girl was just head to toe perfection. I especially love her make-up because it’s all out glam, but not overdone. And since this is a look I use often when going out, here’s a few tips on how to create the look yourself:

Face: The golden, healthy glow makes skin look radiant and fresh, but it’s a tough look to achieve with most bronzers. So instead, try mixing a liquid face highlighter like Benefit MoonBeam into your regular foundation before you apply it. Just a touch though, as the key to this look is understated drama.

Cheeks: This is where your bronzer will come in handy, as just a light swipe across the cheekbones will give a touch of color and sparkle. Hoola bronzing powder, also by Benefit is my personal fave.

Eyes: This step is where I have the most fun! Start by applying a matte white eye shadow over the entire lid. I say matte because the rest of the look is really shimmery, and we don’t wanna over do it. Next, sweep Nars eye shadow in Goldfinger across the eyelids. Then, dip a smudger eye shadow brush into a Sephora Brand Glitter Pot in Gold, and draw a thick line along the base of your upper and lower lashes. Make sure to dust off the excess by blowing on the brush after dipping, so you don‘t overdo it on the glitter. Finish with a very thin line of black liquid eyeliner along the top lash line, and two coats of black mascara.

Lips: Line your lips with a very subtle rosy shade like Maybelline Line Stylist lip liner in Plum, and fill lips in with the same color. Then swipe on a thin coat of Sephora Ultra Shine lip gloss in Gold, and viola

Hair: If you’re going somewhere fancy and you really wanna complete the look, apply a light spritz of Sephora Brand Gold Glitter Spray just to the hairline, as you can see on the lovely Megan.

And there ya have it kids! Learn it, know it, live it!
