3. Only Line Your Top Lid: While the smoky eye isn't going anywhere, here's a look that's equally sexy but a bit crisper. Try the combination of big lashes and liquid liner for a modern twist. Here, January Jones wears a hint of shimmery shadow in the inner corners of her eyes for extra brightness.

5. Wear Bright Lips: From Fendi to Gucci to Jil Sander, we saw bright lips everywhere in every shade. Oranges, reds and pinks were all popular, but this pretty fuchsia on Natalie Portman gets our vote for wearability.

6. Amp-up Your Ponytail: We saw countless ponytails on the spring 2011 runways - from BCBG to Tory Burch. The key to making this style more night-out than night-in is volume - lots of it. Tease, scrunch, and curl before pulling back your hair.
