Leighton Messter. Photo by Amy Sussman/Getty ImagesGET THE LOOK : Leighton Meester gave us something to gossip about at Longchamp's 60th anniversary soiree this week. In a throwback to '40s glamour, she paired a jewel-encrusted little black dress with glossy red lipstick.
INSIDER TRICK : Red lipstick is bold enough to make a statement without shine, which can look gaudy. Leighton found a happy medium by going for sheer color and subtle shine.

Celebrity makeup artist Napoleon Perdis used a triple-threat bronzing approach while prepping Jamie Lynn Sigler for the Intermix VH1 Rock Honors party this weekend. After touching up her complexion with a foundation stick, Perdis swept bronzing powder on her cheeks, then added a hint of golden sheen along her cheekbones using his Light Patrol Luminizer Palette.
INSIDER TRICK : To give your face an overall slimming effect, sweep extra bronzer along your hairline and along your jawline.

Alicia Keys. Photo by Mike Marsland/WireImageGET THE LOOK : Does it reallyhave to hurt to be beautiful? Not if you take a tip from Alicia Keys, who maximized the fullness of her pout and sexified her kisser...minus the sting of lip plumper (that works by irritating lip skin with hot pepper extracts).
INSIDER TRICK : Keys contoured her lips the same way you'd contour your cheeks. Line lips with a fine-point pencil a shade darker than your lips' natural color. Fill in the corners of your upper and lower lips, which makes them recede into the background to create dimension. Then apply a generous coat of shiny lip gloss one shade lighter than your natural lip color on the center of your lips, which attracts light and accentuates the fullness and "kissability" of your pucker.
