SMOKY EYE AND RED LIP

One look that never goes out of style is the smoky eye/red lip pairing. My trick to pulling off this classic combo was selecting an eyeshadow that was more brown than black so it would complement the almost burgundy lip hue. I opted for Too Faced Natural At Night Neutral Eye Shadow Collection, $36. Then to highlight the lid and under-eye I layered on "Unbelievable" from Lorac Unzipped Eye Shadow Palette, $40. And after seeing Kat Dennings on the Emmy's red carpet wearing Hourglass Opaque Rouge Liquid Lipstick in Iconic, $2

Some may while away their hours playing Words with Friends or surfing Facebook, but my favorite Internet time-suck is Pinterest. It's my fantasyland where I get to pretend that the fabulous chaise lounge I pinned on my "home sweet home" board really is in my living room or that the breathtaking Fijian bure on my "vacation homes" board is truly my weekend getaway. And, while dreaming is fun, not everything on Pinterest is strictly aspirational. There are some things on my boards that I can make mine: the beauty trends.

Winged tips, braided headbands, and shockingly bright makeup are all possible to DIY. Don't believe me? Our Total Beauty editors Cinya Burton and Sharon Yi took their favorite Pinterest looks for a spin. See how they did.
