Makeup artist Angela Levin shares how she achieved Jennifer Aniston's latest red-carpet look:

"Instead of creating, bold 'come-hither' smoky eyes, I used softer colors from the newest collection of Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Eyeshadows. Mixing shimmering white and khaki (Fantasme and Epatant), I delicately applied the colors to Jennifer’s lids. I then used a darker shade (Quadra Eyeshadow in Prelude) to create a very muted, fading smoky eye which made Jennifer’s blue eyes standout on the red carpet. Next, I applied two coats of Chanel Inimitable Intense mascara in Noir, which gave a bit of drama to the entire look.

Jennifer’s pout was adorned with Chanel Rouge Coco Shine in Canotier. I used a pearlized, nude beige shade to give a dashing hint of color and sparkle to the lips.

Lastly, to make sure Jennifer’s skin was glamorously supple, I applied the brand's Sublimage La Crème to all exposed parts of her body and added a hint of shine with a golden skin illuminator from St.Tropez. The iridescent sheen gave her naturally tanned skin depth and definition while giving her shoulders and cheekbones a subtle touch of radiance for the cameras."

Celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin shares how she created Jennifer Aniston's latest red-carpet look:

"Jennifer looked like a golden California girl at the premiere of 'Just Go With It,' a gorgeous contrast to the cold NYC night!

Jen's base was the new CHANEL Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup, a soft, water-light formula with beautiful coverage.

I used the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Kaska Beige on her eyes, applying the gold shade on the lid, and the lightest color in the palette under the brow. I then blended the darker colors in the crease. I lined the bottom of the eyes with CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Noir, and to really make her blue eyes pop, I applied two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir, on both the top and bottom lashes.

Her lips were CHANEL Rouge Coco Shine in Deauville, a delicate nude brown shade launching in April."

Get the Look: Nicole Kidman's Golden Globes Glow

Recreate Nicole Kidman's radiant, lit-from-within glow with these expert tips & tricks:

The Hair: Smooth, Soft Layers

Stylist David Babaii explains: "I created Nicole's look with a soft, '70s feel. To achieve this look, I applied a small amount Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment (available March 2011) to her damp hair. Next, I created a full side-part and sectioned the hair for control. My favorite method is to divide the head into 4 sections (top, sides, back; leaving the nape area as the starting point).

With my beloved blow dryer (by IT&LY HairFashion) and a medium round brush, I tried to demonstrate that you can achieve straight hair while infusing volume by using only a blow dryer. After drying each section straight, I applied an additional amount of Couture Colour Pequi Oil Treatment to the lower portion of Nicole's hair. I then divided the strands into 6 large sections and, wrapping each one around a round brush, blasted hot air to create the curl followed by a shot of cool air to set the curl in place. Gently, I released the curl creating soft defined waves."

The Makeup: Rock 'n Roll Chic

Makeup artist Angela Levin explains: "Nicole's dress was a stunning, elegant white gown, so I wanted to add a bit of edge with the makeup. The Golden Globes were all about a touch of rock and roll this year!

First, I prepped the Nicole’s skin with CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate, and applied CHANEL Pro Lumiere Makeup in Nude. On her eyes, I used the CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Winter Nights, and three coats of CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir. Her cheeks were CHANEL Powder Blush in In Love. I finished off her lips with CHANEL Rouge Allure Laque in Ming.”

Celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin reveals the products used to achieve Nicole Kidman's latest look:

"First, I prepped Nicole's skin with the amazing Chanel Sublimage Concentrate all over her face and neck, giving the skin wonderful hydration and a great surface for makeup application.

On her eyes, I used the Chanel Quadra Eyeshadow in Stupendous, using all four colours. Light blue on her lids, light beige under the brow, the taupe colour over the light blue, and brown to frame on the outer corners of the eye. On her lashes I applied two coats of Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir.

Nicole's cheeks were sculpted with Chanel Blush Duo Tweed Effect in Tweed Fuchsia. And finally, to add a pop of color, I finished her lips with Chanel Glossimer in Pink Pulsion, a fuchsia pink with a gold hue."

Celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin shares how she achieved Jennifer Aniston's radiant red-carpet look for the LA premiere of "The Switch":

"I first prepped Jen's face with the new CHANEL Sublimage Concentrate, to
enhance her already radiant skin. Her base was La Mer Foundation in 06,
and on her cheeks I dusted a bit of CHANEL Powder Blush in Rose Pétale.

On
her eyes I used CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Tentation Cuivré, a rich brown
and copper shadow palette (launching Holiday '10). The warm shades compliment
Jen's gorgeous eye color. Starting from the inner corners of her lashes, I
blended the shadow out, going from light to dark. For the liner, I used
Tarte Clay Pot Eyeliner in Black.

Finally, to make her blue eyes really pop, I finished with three coats of
CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir. I applied one coat, then
brushed out the lashes, a second coat, again brushed out the lashes, and
finally a third coat using a fan brush.

Jen's lips were natural with
CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Cashmere, a beigey peach shade, and Kevyn
Aucoin Lip Pencil in Bare."

Get the Look: Jennifer Aniston's Sun-Kissed Glow

How gorgeous does Jennifer Aniston look at the New York premiere of "The Bounty Hunter"? She's ageless.

Below, Angela Levin— the super artist behind Jen's warm, sun-kissed glow— shares how she achieved the look:

I was inspired by her gorgeous nude dress and her beachy hair. She worked
with hair stylist Chris McMillan who created long soft waves to frame her
beautiful face.

I prepped Jen's skin with CHANEL Sublimage Serum. Then, as I base I used
CHANEL Mat Lumiere Fluid Makeup in Natural all over the face, with a bit of
the CHANEL Natural Finish Pressed Powder in Clair.

For the eyes,
concealer, and cheeks, I used a fabulous new palette— Collection
Essentielle de CHANEL Multi-Use Make-Up Palette in Paris-New York. On her
lids I used the light beige powder shade all over, and in the crease I
applied the light brown shade. I wet that same shade, and used an eyeliner
brush to line the eyes— top and bottom. Finally, I took a bit of the
reddish brown shade and applied it under the eyes. The red hue in the
powder really made Jen's blue eyes pop. To finish the eyes, I applied two
coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara.

For the cheeks, I used my fingers to dab on the cream blush from the
Paris-New York palette, and dusted on my favorite bronzer, Soleil Tan de
CHANEL in Desert Corail.

Finally, to complete the look, I applied CHANEL
Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Beige Felin, a beautiful beigy nude colour, topped
with the pink glosses from the Paris-New York palette.

Recreate Blake Lively's sexy, smoky eye from last night's CHANEL "Fête d'Hiver" Benefit with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Angela Levin:

"I was inspired by Blake's stunning CHANEL diamond Camelia brooch. I wanted her eyes to be dark and sexy, but the rest of her face to be light and fresh. She's young and sexy and wears a smoky eye so well!," says Levin.

On the Face
Levin used CHANEL Lift Lumiere Fluid Makeup in Beige all over Blake's face, and set it with CHANEL Poudre Cristalline Translucent Powder. On her cheeks, she dusted on CHANEL Blush Duo in Tweed Rose.

For the Eyes
For her eyes, Levin used the bronze and sand shades from the CHANEL Quadra Eye Shadow in Variations, and CHANEL Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Magic Night, a deep plum shade, to add dimension in the crease. She then lined the upper and lower lashes with CHANEL Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Black Shimmer, and finished the eyes with three coats of CHANEL Inimitable Mascara in Noir-Black.

On the Lips
Finally, Levin created a soft pink lip with CHANEL Rouge Allure in Mythic, a sheer nude, then topped with a bit of CHANEL Rouge Allure Laque in Ming.
