Wrap your face framing layers around a large-barreled curling iron for just a few seconds to give them a soft, wavy effect. Then set your entire style with a finishing spray like Nexxus Maxximum Super Hold Styling and Finishing Mist, $7.97.

Last time you tried wearing blue eyeshadow, you also wore leg warmers. We know. It can be a scary thought. But not if you choose the right hue and wear it tastefully, just like Sarah Jessica Parker did here. Aqua blue can make your eyes stand out and it's the perfect look for a beach party or a night out. Plus, it doesn't take much effort if you follow these steps �

Start with a tinted moisturizer like Hard Candy Sheer Envy Tinted Moisturizer, $8 that isn't too opaque, but will hide any discoloration. Then dust your face with a loose powder like Sally Hansen Natural Beauty Luminous Matte Pressed Powder, $11.99 to set your tinted moisturizer and make your skin look flawless, but not cakey.

Next: Apply eye makeup

First prep your eyes with a nude-colored eyeshadow that is slightly iridescent, then apply an aqua blue eyeshadow from your lash lines to your creases. Next, sweep a lighter blue eyeshadow onto the lower lash line (for both colors buy an eyeshadow duo like Hard Candy Kal-eye-descope -- Baked Eyeshadow Duos in Make Believe, $6). Last, line the inner rims of your eyes with a black eyeliner (try CoverGirl Perfect Point Plus Eyeliner, $4.99), making a thin line to simply accentuate your eyes. Then coat your lashes with thickening mascara like CoverGirl LashBlast Volume Blasting Mascara, $9.94 to make them pop. Bonus, both the mascara and the eyeliner sell as a duo pack at Walmart.

Next: Add blush

Choose a blush in a nude tone like Physicans Formula Organic Wear 100% Natural Blush in Natural Organics, $ 11.95 and sweep it on your cheekbones to enhance them naturally without taking away from your bright blue eyes. Or use a bronzer and brush it on your cheeks, forehead, nose and chin.

Next: Slick on lipstick
