Her Makeup To give Vicki a clean, light-but-polished look to go with her sunny new style, makeup artist Barbara Farman wanted her makeup to be all about shimmer -- with a pop of bright lip color.

Applying a pale shimmery highlighter (like L'Oreal Glam Bronze All-Over Loose Powder Highlighter, $12.99) to key places on her face; across the forehead, down the nose, on the cupid's bow above the top lip and on the chin, Farman then applied a berry cream blush (try Revlon Cream Blush in Berry Flirtatious, $8.49) to the apples of Vicki's cheeks.

To make her eyes stand out, but not look too done up, Farman applied a neutral eye shadow (like the ones in the L'Oreal Paris Wear Infinite Eye Shadow Duo $7.99) and drew the "thinnest line possible" of brow gel eyeliner along the upper lash lines (try Maybelline New York Lasting Drama Gel Eyeliner in Brown, $7.99). A stroke or two of white pencil (try Rimmel London Soft Kohl Kajal Eye Pencil in Pure White, $4.99) applied along the lower inner rims and a coat of mascara emphasizing the center lashes completed the eye. "You want it to look kind of bare, but to stand out too," Farman explained.

A swipe of magenta lipstick (try Wet n Wild Silk Finish Lipstick in Nouveau Pink, $2.99) covered with a berry gloss (try Neutrogena Moistureshine Lip Gloss in Berry Fit, $8.29) and the look was complete.
