A mega popstar like Christina Aguilera might be able to pull off blue, pink and white eyeshadow. But you shouldn't try. Pick a color that complements your eye color. Never match eye color. Stick with a monochromatic palette, and apply with a very light touch.

Strong Lips: Try
Angelina Jolie usually plays down her full lips, but she picked a winner with this shade. The color is rich, not bright, and it complements her skin tone. Keeping the rest of her makeup simple, allowing the lip shade to take center stage, rounds out this look perfectly.
