This ultra-glam look will make you a standout at a swanky bash:

Step 1: Use a matte-finish foundation (try Chanel Double Perfection Compact Matte Reflecting Powder Makeup, $50) to even your skin tone and control shine. Apply a light swipe of a peach blush to your cheekbones.

Step 2: Use bronze eyeliner (try Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Baked, $16) to line your lash lines. Then, sweep a champagne-colored shadow from your lids to your creases, on your inner corners and underneath your eyes. Follow that with a dark brown shadow swept on your lids, up into the creases, and smudged along your lower lash lines (try LORAC On Screen Duo in Rich, $24, it has both shades you need). Then apply an orangey-copper shadow (like MAC Eye Shadow in Vivid Orange, $14.50) around the dark brown shadow, winging it out past the outer edge of your eye -- just to the ends of your brows. Blend well so the colors melt together. Finish by dabbing gold sparkles (try MAC Glitter in Reflects Gold, $19.50) over your whole eye area, using your fingertips.

Step 3: Use a red lip pencil (like Nars Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Pop Life, $24) to line your lips. Then, using a lip brush, apply red lipstick (try Nars Lipstick in Manhunt, $24) to your lips. Dab clear lipgloss on top for lots of shine.

This look is subtle enough for dinner with grandma, but edgy enough for a night on the town:

Step 1: Even out your skin tone with foundation, and then use a rosy-pink blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Step 2: Line your lower inner rims with black eyeliner. Apply a light gray shadow to your lid (try Sonia Kashuk Powder Partners Eye Shadow Duo in Cocktail Hour 01, $6.99), and use a soft rosy-bronze shade (or your bronzer) in your creases. Then, smudge a blue-green eyeliner or shadow (try L'Oreal Paris HIP High Intensity Pigments Color Rich Cream Crayon in Intricate, $9.79) along your lower lash lines. (Not a fan of blue? Try this technique with any bold color you'd like!) Finish with two coats of mascara.

Step 3: Apply a pinky-mauve lipgloss, like Neutrogena MoistureShine Gloss in Chic, $7.19.

All eyes at the party will be on your eyes with this killer lash look:

Step 1: Use a dewy-finish foundation (try Clinique Dewy Smooth Anti-Aging Makeup SPF 15, $23) to even your skin tone. Then, apply a highlighter to your cheekbones (try GloMinerals gloHighlighter, $16).

Step 2: Line your inner rims with black eyeliner. Then, use a light gray shadow on your lids and a silver or white shadow on your inner corners (try Maybelline New York Expert Wear Eye Shadow Duos in Grey Matters, $5.50, it has both shades you need). Apply extra long false eyelashes (watch this video for help applying them), and apply a coat of mascara before and after to integrate your real lashes with the false ones.

Step 3: Apply pale pink lipgloss to finish the look, like Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment in Engaging, $5.49.

This pretty-in-pink look will be fab for a daytime office or family party:

Step 1: Apply foundation to even your skin tone, then use a pink blush (like Nars Blush in Orgasm, $25) on your cheeks. You can be pretty liberal with your blush since your eye and lip looks are subtle.

Step 2: Apply bronze shadow (like L'Oreal Paris Wear Infinite Eye Shadow Single in Gilded Bronze, $4.29) on lids, just into your creases, then sweep it along your lower lash lines. Next, blend a touch of pink shadow (or your blush) on the outer corners of your creases, towards your brow bones. Finish your eyes with a couple coats of mascara (try Lancome Definicils Mascara, $24.50).

Step 3: Apply pale pink lipstick (try Clinique Colour Surge Butter Shine Lipstick in Baby Baby, $14), and then top it with a bit of clear lipgloss for a hint of sheen.
