Recreate Christina Hendricks' striking SAG Awards beauty look with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali:

"Christina was inspired by Brigitte Bardot's black, smoky eyes and nude face. So, we went in this direction but softened the look for the red carpet by using a creamy, shimmery shadow in gunmetal. This gives the eye shadow a transparent quality that makes the look very strong but also very modern.

I am always sparing with foundation but especially with Christina's nearly flawless skin. I used CoverGirl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Alabaster, which was perfect for fresh, lightweight coverage. For a hint of color, I used CoverGirl Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach on the apples of the cheeks, looking polished and fresh.

For Christina’s timeless smoky eye, I used CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke on the lid from just above the crease down to the lash line. I swept out past the natural lash line at the outer corners of the eye to exaggerate the eye size and add a touch of red carpet drama. Also, to define the lash line, I used CoverGirl LiquiLine Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire. This pencil defines the eye by leaving intense color at the lash line but is very blendable for a soft look at the edges. Never leave home without lush and lengthy lashes, I used CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara in Very Black to create just that.

Strong eyes look great paired with clean, uncomplicated skin. Keep it fresh by powdering in the T-zone only, using CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder, Sensitive Skin in Ivory. Finally, to complement the smoky eye, I wanted to use brown undertones, so I chose CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Kiss, perfect for red carpet glam!"

Recreate the "Mad Men" star's latest look with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali:

"First, prep the skin with Lancôme’s La Base Pro. To perfect, use Lancôme’s new Teint Miracle Lit-From-Within Makeup. It has an amazing transparent quality that leaves the skin looking flawless and luminous without being shiny. Apply it with a brush and then blend with your fingers. Follow with Effacernes Concealer under the eyes. (It's my all-time favorite concealer.)

For a fresh pop of color, I chose to use Lancôme’s Blush Subtil Shimmer in Pink Pool on the apples of Christina's cheeks. I then dabbed Giorgio Armani’s Fluid Sheer in #2 to highlight her cheekbones.

The eye shadow was mix of YSL’s Ombre Solo Eyeshadow in Cashmere Brown and Midnight Black. Apply these all over the lid, under the bottom lashes and blend it out past your natural lash line to softly elongate the eye. To define and elongate the lash line, line the eyes with Lancôme’s Le Crayon Khôl in Black. I used a touch of liner under Christina's bottom lashes but smudged it for a softer look. For added depth, use Artliner Precision Point Eyeliner in Noir at the very base of your lashes, and follow with several generous coats of Lancôme Définicils Waterproof Mascara in Black.

Christina’s lips were a mix of Lancôme lip colors to create a shade of red with a little dash of pink: a sheer coat of Color Design Matte Lipstick in Corset topped by La Laque Fever Lipshine in Cyber Coral."

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."

Recreate the "Twilight" star's latest look with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali:

“We wanted to create a soft, glowing goddess look to complement her beautiful Alexis Mabille Couture dress. The overall look was golden skin, soft blushed cheeks, champagne shimmer and a softly lined eye.

First, I prepped Ashley’s skin by applying Mark Primed for Perfection Face Primer all over the face to create a nice, even canvas. I like the skin to look flawless but real, so I always use foundation and concealers sparingly. With Ashley, I used Mark Speedway Do Everything Makeup in Natural. I applied it with a foundation brush and then blended it with my fingers. Using my fingers to blend heats the product just a bit and leaves a seamless finish. Next, I applied Mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium under her eyes.

I wanted to create a nice luminous glow, so I applied just a touch of Mark Get Bright Hook Up Highlighter in Natural to the top of Ashley's cheekbones, down the center of her nose and the bow of her top lip. Next, I applied Mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Glo to her temples, under her cheekbones and under her jaw line to lightly enhance the bronze in her natural skin tone. Lastly, I used mark Just Pinched Instant Blush Tint in Peachy on the apples of her cheeks for the perfect healthy flush.

For Ashley’s eyes I started by using mark I-mark Custom Pick Eyeshadow in Nomadic to create a champagne shimmer all over her eyelids and under the bottom lashes. Next, to define and elongate the lash line, I lined her upper eyelids with mark Keep It Going Longwear Eyeliner and Shadow in Entourage (Black Shade). For a touch of added depth, I used Mark Get in Line Hook Up Waterproof Eyeliner in Painted Black at the very base of her lashes. I finished with a few generous coats of Mark Lash Splash Hook Up Waterproof Mascara in Black.

Finally, for Ashley’s lips, I started by using a dab of Mark Kiss Dry Goodbye Lip Smoother to give her lips a touch of moisture. I then used mark Kissink Liptint Marker in Berry to define the outer edge of her lips and smudged the color into the center."

Get the Look: Ashley Greene's Dramatic Eyes

Celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali transformed "Twilight" star Ashley Greene into a gorgeous vision at last night’s "New Moon" premiere in Los Angeles. “The look was classic '60’s,” reports Vanessa. “Well-defined eyes with lots of lashes, a strong brow and clean skin with subtle pink/coral cheeks and lips.”

Get the look:

To start, Vanessa evened out Ashley’s “nearly flawless skin” with Lancôme's Effacernes concealer in Light Bisque underneath the eyes. “It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage,” she said. Bobbi Brown’s Foundation Stick followed. Lancôme's Blush Subtil in Shimmer Pink Pool topped the apples of the cheeks.

For Ashley’s dramatic eyes, Vanessa swept YSL Fard Lumiére Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands over the entire eye. To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa used Lancôme's Artliner in Black and lined the inner rims with Shu Uemura's Painting Liner in White. The finishing touch: a few generous coats of Lancôme's Ôscillation Mascara in Black for “seductively lengthy lashes,” says Vanessa. Ashley’s brows were sculpted with Lancôme's Le Crayon Poudre in Brunet.

Finally, Lancôme's new lipstick from the Pout-á-Porter series—L’Absolu Rouge in Chris & Tell—made a sneak peek appearance, completing Ashley's retro-inspired look. (The gorgeous hue, which was created for designer Chris Benz’s Spring show, will be available in February.)
