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."

Amy Adams. Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImageGET THE LOOK: Beautiful skin like Amy Adams's starts with a few simple lifestyle changes, says Dallas-based dermatologist, Dr. Allison Singer. "Always wash your face before bed and avoid high-sugar foods," she says. "Recent studies suggest increased insulin levels can increase oil gland activity."
INSIDER TRICK: If a pimple pops up before a big event, Dr. Singer says, "A cortisone injection given by a dermatologist directly into the blemish will make it go away in about 24 to 48 hours. Also, a combination of benzoyl peroxide and clindamycin cream used on the spot is a great zit zapper."Lovely underpinings are wardrobe essentials, but woman cannot live on lace alone!

Kristen Bell. Photo by Steve Granitz/WireImageGET THE LOOK: Makeup artist Troy Jensen wanted to use a little of what will be hot for fall in Kristen Bell's scintillating look. "I did smoky eyes with a touch of metallic to pop this fall's earthy hues," he says. "And they looked great with her bright blue eyes."
INSIDER TRICK: Jensen applied Nars Paper Tiger (a warm brown) and Nars Savage (a bronze-gold) cream shadows to the entire eye. "I blended them onto the eyelid and around the entire eye into an almond shape," he says. "Then I went over with a glittery shadow-Too Faced Firefly." He finished the eyes with DiorShow mascara and a strip of faux lashes.

Leighton Meester. Photo by Jamie McCarthy/WireImageGET THE LOOK: "I wanted the makeup to reflect Leighton's beautiful and effortless dress," says makeup artist Christopher Colbeck, who created this neutral-toned look on Leighton Meester. "We decided to keep the colors very soft and subtle with notes of cooler tones."
INSIDER TRICK: Colbeck kept to the following neutral palette of products: Lancome tinted moisturizer, Chanel bronzing powder, golden sand Dior eyeshadow and icy beige M.A.C lipstick. He finished the look "with a light dusting of pearly white shimmer powder on the cheeks, eyelids, shoulders and legs to complement the cooler tones of the look."
