dianna agron inspired makeup

When I spotted this picture of Dianna Agron at the 2012 Screen Actors Guild Awards, I couldn't stop looking at it. Her makeup and hair are flawless, with lots of attention on the eyes. I attempted to recreate the prettiness with drugstore finds. Enjoy!

1. Foundation with a matte finish is best for a clean, simple look like this one. Try Maybelline Dream Matte Mousse.

2. It's always a good idea to prep your lips before applying lipstick. While your foundation is setting, rub lip balm onto your lips. I love this one from Smith's. How cute is the mint green tin?

3. A black eyeliner, like this one from L'Oreal, is perfect for a light smokey eye. Smudge it out with a Q-tip for a sultry nighttime look.

4. Eyes open up with a shimmery golden eyeshadow. For extra drama, use a small makeup brush to line your lower lash line with the same shadow.

5. Every smokey eye needs a few coats of mascara. My fave is Maybelline's Great Lash in Very Black.

6. Dianna's lipstick isn't too saturated. Use your fingertips to apply a rich cranberry lipstick.
