Celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh explains how she created Jessica Szohr’s sultry red carpet look:

For the Complexion
“For Jessica’s face, I first applied Mark For Goodness Face Antioxidant Skin Moisturizing Lotion SPF 30 all over her skin to create a nice base. Next, I followed by applying Mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Golden. To cover any redness or under-eye circles, I dabbed on Mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Medium/Deep, and set the look with Mark Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation in Golden. I then used the Mark Angled Contour Face Brush to dust Mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder to her cheeks, forehead and chin to warm up her face. To give her a slight flush, I added MarkGood Glowing Custom Pick Powder Blush in Sun Love Glo to the apples of her cheeks.”

The Eyes
“I really wanted to emphasize Jessica’s dark eyes so we created a heavy, smoky eye. I prepped her eyelids with the Mark Please Hold Eye Primer in Medium/Dark followed with a dusting of Mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Gioia and Corset. Next, I blended the shadows upwards into the crease and then smudged Mark I-Mark Custom Pick Eye Shadow in Corset along her top and bottom lash line. I then rimmed her eyes with Mark No Place to Run Eyeliner Pencil in Jet Set since I needed something super long-wearing that wouldn’t smear once I applied. I finished off her eye look with two coats of Make It Big Mascara in Raven.”

On the Lips
“For her lips I used Mark Lipclick Full Color Lipstick in Malt. I love how creamy these new lipsticks are!”

Celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali shares her top tricks for creating Ashley’s stunning Super Saturday look:

“We wanted to create a soft, natural look to complement Ashley’s beautiful white dress. The overall look was natural and golden, perfect for an outdoor event.

For the day, I like to use less coverage to create natural looking skin. With Ashley, I applied ark Get a Tint Tinted Moisturizer Lotion in Buff/Natural all over her skin and then Mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium to cover up any redness. To prevent excess shine, I dusted Mark Matte-Nificent Oil Absorbing Powder in Buff/Natural over her forehead, cheeks and nose.

Next, to create a nice glow, I applied Mark Good Glowing Custom Pick Mosaic Blush in Hush Baby to the apples of her cheeks and down the center of her nose. This gave give her a natural healthy flush.

For Ashley’s eyes, I started by priming her eyelids with the Mark Please Hold Eye Primer in Light to Medium to help her eye makeup last in the heat! Then, I applied Mark Mini Mark It Stick for Eyes in Shell on her eyelids and then lightly lined her eyes with Mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner and Shadow in Entourage (Black Shade). The neutral base really helped her eyeliner to "pop." I finished with a few generous coats of Mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara in Raven.

To complete Ashley’s look, I applied Mark Lots of Lacquer Super Color Lip Gloss in Pop for a rosy natural lip."

Get the Look: Lauren Conrad's Ruby Pout

Seen here at last night’s Avon Hope Honors Gala, Lauren Conrad looks both beautiful and sophisticated in retro, '40s-inspired makeup.

Below, celebrity makeup artist Amy Nadine shares her secrets for creating Lauren's latest red carpet look:

On the Face

“For a perfectly polished complexion, I evened out Lauren’s skin tone with Mark Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation (in Natural), for a super-velvety finish. To emphasize the delicate contours of her face, I applied Mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder starting in the hollow of her cheeks, then directly under her cheekbones, up to her temples, across her hairline and under her jaw line. I then swirled their Good Glowing Custom Pick Powder Blush (in Star Glo) on the apples of her cheeks for a subtle rosy glow.”

For the Eyes

“Lauren loves her signature winged-out liquid liner look, which I amped up by drawing Mark Get In Line Hook Up Liquid Waterproof Eyeliner a little thicker in the outer corners of her eyes. I then coated her lashes in Mark Make It Big Lash Plumping Mascara for thickness and length and added individual lashes to complete the look.”

On the Lips

“I gave Lauren a classic Old Hollywood pout with Mark Dew Drenched Moisturlicious Lip Color (in Wave), a true red that is warm enough to look gorgeous on everyone. To properly set the color to last all evening, I dipped a cotton swab in Mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder and carefully traced the outer rims of the lips. For that final touch of extra impact and depth, I added a dab of Mark Belle of the Ball Lip Balm (in Sheer Red) in the center of the lips with my finger.”

How enchanting is Becki Newton's fresh-faced complexion at the 16th annual Elle Women in Hollywood Tribute? I'm in love.

Below, celebrity makeup artist Jamie Greenberg explains how she created the "Ugly Betty" star's latest look:

On the Eyes
“Becki loves to try new things and for this look she was really feeling Grace Kelly with some street appeal! First, I applied Mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter (in Golden) under Becki’s eyes, as well as the lightest shade from Mark Super Flip Color Kit in the corner and along the top of the lid to really make her eyes look bright. I then blended I-Mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow (in Cake) into the crease and the dark grey shade from Mark Super Flip Color Kit in the corner of the eyes. To enhance her eye color, I applied mark Eyemarker Color On Line (in Jet), smudging all along the lower lash line. Finally, I applied one coat of Mark Make it Big Lash Plumping Mascara (in Raven) and topped it with one coat of Mark Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara (in Black) to set the lashes and prevent any flaking."

For the Face
"I applied Mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup (in Honey) and set just the T-zone area with Mark Matte-nificent Oil-Absorbing Powder (in Golden Honey) to prevent any unnecessary shine. I also applied Mark Good Glowing Mosaic Blush Custom Color Palette (in Hush Baby) right above Becki’s cheeks to give a fresh highlight. I finished her cheeks by smudging Mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint (in Nude and Cheeky) right on the apples of her cheeks, carefully blending up to her hair line."

On the Lips
"To finish off her look, I used Mark Dew Drenched Moisturlicious Lip Color (in Mist) on her lips, with a light coating of Mark Pro Gloss Hook Up Plumping Lip Shine (in Swell)."

... And that's it!
