Joan Jett from "The Runaways" Known as the Queen of Rock and Roll during her heyday, Joan Jett was the rock icon of the 80s. Even in the 21st century, Joan Jett & The Blackhearts' hit single "I Love Rock 'N' Roll" is a ready-made mantra for any football game or movie theme song.

Get the look: You will need a spunky black pixie wig and a red jumpsuit for this look. The key to this makeup look is Joan's rocker eye. Apply smoldering gray eye pencil thickly to your water line. Then, Jennings says to "squint really hard to get a lived-in organic shape." Layer the pencil with metallic gray or black eye shadow to make it last. One key is to make sure to clean any excess shadow under the eye with a Q-tip and makeup remover to avoid having a "ghoulish" look. Apply layers of mascara to the top and bottom lashes. Then apply a taupe/desert sand colored eye shadow to the lids. Over draw the lips with a brown lip pencil, filling them in. Finish off with a gold/nude lip gloss like MAC Dazzleglass Lip Gloss in Moth to Flame, $18.

In her prime, Joan was a thin girl and had a hallowed face, so Jennings says to contour your face with a fluffy angled brush. Any matte bronzer with no shimmer will do. Suck in your cheeks, then swipe the brush right underneath your cheekbones. Then swipe alongside your nose and under your chin to give more definition.
