Jessica Alba. Photo by Gregg DeGuire/WireImageGET THE LOOK: Celebrity makeup artist Lauren Andersen gave Jessica Alba a "simple, clean and chic" face for her first post-baby red-carpet appearance. "I was inspired by her dress that evening, which was a pink champagne color and very satiny, so I wanted her makeup to reflect that as well," says Andersen.
INSIDER TRICK: "I used a light shimmery champagne shade all over her lids to brighten the area and make her eyes the focus. Then I accented her crease with a warm peachy-pink color and applied thick black liquid liner to pull the eyes up and out," says Andersen, who finished the look with a sheer berry gloss on Alba's lips.

Christina Milian. Photo by John Shearer/WireImageGET THE LOOK: Not-so-little stars are twinkling their way across Hollywood. Heavenly bodies like Christina Millian show that bigger bling is not always better, especially when it comes to highlighting her glossy mane with a constellation of shimmery light.
INSIDER TRICK: Big gemstone hair accessories make a bold statement-like a cocktail ring for your hair. For a more demure glint, opt for a headband with a scattering of tiny rhinestones.

Hayden Panettiere, Katie Holmes. Photo by Gregg DeGuire/WireImage; Gregg DeGuire/WireImageGET THE LOOK: What do pollen, sad movies, airplanes and vodka all have in common? They give us veiny, bloodshot eyes resembling lines on a road map. While dark eye liner can partially reverse the effect by providing a stark color contrast, a small bottle of redness-relief eye drops instantly give you clear, bright, sparkling, youthful-looking eyes.
INSIDER TRICK: Minty fresh for your eyes? Yep. Before a photo op, squeeze a drop of Rohto V cooling eye drops, brighten the whites of your eyes and add a refreshing coolness to your gaze with icy menthol.

Maria Menounos. Photo by Gregg DeGuire/WireImageGET THE LOOK: "Sex appeal is fifty percent what you've got and fifty percent what people think you've got," says makeup artist Bret Boreman, who gave Maria Menounos this sexy glow. "I took inspirations from my favorite '50s and '60s icons and added a modern twist!" Boreman adds.
INSIDER TRICK: Eyes on the prize! "I kept the skin ultra-matte and exaggerated Maria's eyes by extending the contour crease color up onto the brow bone. Then I added black liner on the outer corners of the eyes to create a more exaggerated almond shape."
