Get the Look: Hailee Steinfeld's Soft Cat Eye

Recreate Hailee Steinfeld's soft cat eye from Tuesday's Miu Miu "Muta" presentation with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Fiona Stiles:

"Hailee’s dress was the inspiration for tonight. She wore a sweet blush colored dress, and I wanted her makeup to be sweet, subtle, and fresh.

I used two different cream eyeshadows, CoverGirl Intense Shadow Blast in Brown Bling, and Chanel Ombre D'eau in Source. I mixed them to get a muted blush tone, and then accentuated the eyes by using a bit of Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner Liner in Black at the corners, top and bottom, giving her a bit of a cat eye. So it didn't get too severe, I softened the edges of the line with Nars Duo Eyeshadow in Caravaggio using the EcoTools Bamboo Smudge Eyeliner Brush. I tamed her brows with a bit of Anastasia Brow Gel and brushed them into place with the EcoTools Lash & Brow Groomer. I love, love, love her strong brows!

I wanted the skin to be luminous and fresh so I mixed a little of the Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint in Pearl into the foundation, Koh Gen Do Moisture Foundation in 023. I applied a bit of Nars Multiple Bronzer in Tuomota to the cheeks and a dusting of powder, just on the t-zone, leaving the skin dewy but not shiny.

Finally, a bit of a peachy lip, Ellis Faas Creamy Lips in L108, kept the face looking warm and healthy, but without being overwhelming."

Get the Look: Selena Gomez's Fresh-Faced Glow

Celebrity makeup artist Karan Mitchell shares how she created Selena Gomez's latest red-carpet look:

"For the MTV Movie Awards, Selena wanted her makeup look to be fresh and flawless. We went with a look that had a soft focus and pretty pink lips.

I started with Selena's eyes. I selected the COVERGIRL Shimmering Sands Eye Enhancer 3-Kits Shadows for her shadow. I used the medium shade of the palette as all over the eye area. I then used the lightest shade on the inside corners and as a highlight under her brow bone. I then lined her upper and lower lashline with COVERGIRL Perfect Blend Eyeliner in Basic Black. To line the upper lashes I used COVERGiRL LineExact Liquid liner in Very Black and drew a slight wing on the outer corners. I added a few individual lashes and used three coats of new COVERGIRL NatureLuxe Water Resistant Mousse Mascara in Black (available nationwide in July).

For her flawless skin, I used NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Oak. On her cheeks I applied COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry under the cheekbone and blended upward.

I then finished the look with COVERGIRL LipPerfection lipcolor in the soft shimmering pink shade Sweetheart and COVERGIRL ShineBlast Lip Gloss in Dazzle."

Kate Middleton's Bridal Beauty

Posted by babu 11:31am GMT

Kate Middleton's best bridal accessories are without doubt her flawless hair, skin and makeup. (Though that Cartier tiara and Lady Di's striking sapphire engagement ring are rather lustworthy, as well!)

The Scoop on HRH the Duchess of Cambridge's wedding day beauty look:

The Hair: A Classic Half-Updo
The newly crowned Mrs. Mountbatten-Windsor hired longtime stylist James Pryce of London's Richard Ward Salon and Metrospa for the big day, with her sole condition being that "William must recognize her by the time she gets to the altar." With that in mind, Pryce created a natural, familiar half-updo, with loose, silken ringlets at the base.

The Skin: Compliments of Karin Herzog
Kate's radiant, lit-from-within glow is reportedly due to her devotion to all things Karin Herzog. From the esthetician's signature Oxygen facials to a daily dose of Oxygen Face Cream, Prince William's bride can't get enough of this Swiss-based beauty brand and its London spa.

The Makeup: Amplified Everyday
As for her English Rose-inspired makeup, it's being said that she did it herself, possibly using Bobbi Brown Cosmetics. The newlywed was spotted just last week purchasing her brand favorites in shades slightly darker than what she usually wears in the winter. In addition, Kate hired London makeup artist Arabella Preston, to help her perfect her techniques. It's said the two met three or four times before the big day.

The Nails: Layers of Petal-Pink
The bride's nails were done by Marina Sandoval from the Jo Hansford Salon in Mayfair, who used a combination of Essie Nail Polish in Allure (a sheer, beige pink) and Bourjois Nail Enamel in Rose Lounge (a light, milky pink).
