Get The Look: Kaley Cuoco at the People’s Choice Awards

39th Annual People's Choice Awards - Red Carpet

There isn’t anything quite as refreshing as a star walking the red carpet in beautiful, affordable makeup. At last night’s People’s Choice Awards, Kaley Cuoco went for a girly mod look with the help of mark Makeup Artist Jamie Greenberg. Here’s how she got the look:

Face: Started with mark’s Min-A-Real Cream to Powder Foundation, layered on mark’s Touch & Glow Shimmer Cream Cubes All Over Face Palette with Just Blushing in Lovespell. Lastly, used mark’s Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder all over the face and decollete and mark’s Jewel Body Cream all over.

Eyes: Used i-mark in luvstruck on the lid with a swipe of mark’s Touch & Glow on top and lightly blended into the crease. Next, used mark’s Keep It Going Longwear Eyeshadow & Liner in Entourage with a kiss of the purple shade from mark’s On The Dot Bold palette as liner under the lower lash line. Finished up the look with 2 coast of mark’s Scanda-lash mascara in Blacklash.

Lips: mark’s Lipclick Luxe in Pink Icing for the red carpet with a coat of mark’s Glimmer Shine Lip Gloss in Pink Glimmer.

“Using one color in various tones is anything but boring! Purple, plum, eggplant, and mauve combine perfectly on eyes and lips for the sultry winter look. Just make sure to keep your cheeks light to maintain balance.”

“Who doesn’t love a sultry, sexy smokey eye? My favorite way to get a quick smokey look is by using RMS Beauty’s Cream Eyeshadow in Karma. With just a few sweeps of a brush I am ready for a night out. Pantone just named Emerald it’s 2013 color of the year so Rebecca and I thought we would update a smoky eye by having it go green!”
