This dramatic look is all about come-hither eyes.

Face:
Step 1: Apply foundation to even out your skin tone. Since the focus is on the eyes, you want the rest of your face to look natural.

Step 2: Mix bronzer and blush (try Sugar Tropic Tan Blush and Bronzer Duo, $28) and lightly apply it under your cheekbones, on your temples and along your nose and chin (where the sun naturally hits). Follow that up with a light dusting of just the blush on the apples of your cheeks.

Next: Eye and lip how-to

Eyes:
Step 1: Apply a silvery-green shadow (try Maybelline New York Eyeshadow Singles in Antique Jade, $6.53) on lids then blend a peach-colored shadow (try Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Soft Shimmer in Apricot Spice, $14) in the creases.

Step 2: Smudge black eyeliner (try Wet n Wild H2O Proof Blending Eye Pencil, $2) or shadow on the outer corners of your eyes along your lower lash lines.

Step 3: Curl lashes and apply a coat of mascara (try Too Faced Lash Injection, $19.50).

Step 4: Apply a strip of false lashes (try Ardell Fashion Lashes No. 120, $3.79) to the outer three quarters of your lash lines (cut them to size before applying).

Lips:
Step 1: Fill in lips with a lip liner that closely matches your natural lip color (try N.Y.C New York Color Classic Lipliner Pencil, $1). Finish up by slicking on a nude gloss (try Hourglass Extreme Sheen Gloss in Verse, $28).

This eye-enhancing look is perfect for an office party.

Face:
Step 1: Use a sheer foundation (try Nars Balanced Foundation, $40) to even skin tone but keep the coverage light; you still want your skin to show through.

Step 2: Sweep a rosy blush (try Chanel Joues Contraste Powder Blush in Rose Petale, $40) on the apples of your cheeks to define them.

Eyes:
Step 1: Sweep silver powder shadow on the lid (try MAC Eye Shadow in Silver Ring, $14) and blend a taupe shadow (try Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow Soft Shimmer in Toasted Almond, $14) in the crease.

Step 2: Use black eyeliner (try Wet n Wild H2O Proof Blending Eye Pencil, $2) to line the inner rims of your eyes. Then blend it along your lash lines from outer corners inward.

Step 3: Dab cream-colored shadow (try Bobbi Brown Shimmer Wash Eye Shadow in Bone, $20) on the inner corners of eyes to open them up.

Step 4: Curl lashes and apply a coat of mascara (try Clinique Lash Power Mascara, $14).

Step 5: Apply a strip of false lashes (try Ardell Fashion Lashes No. 120, $3.79) along top lash lines, or for a more natural look use individual lashes on the outer corner of eyes only.

Lips:
Step 1: Use a rosy nude-colored lip gloss (try Sally Hansen Diamond Lip Treatment in Rose Petals, $4.99) for a natural finish.

Red-stained lips are perfect for a black-tie affair.

Face:
Step 1: Apply a very sheer foundation or tinted moisturizer -- you want to still be able to see freckles (like Michelle's) if you have them.

Step 2: Mix a rosy-reddish blush (try MAC Powder Blush in Frankly Scarlet, $18) with bronzer and blend the combo below cheekbones and along temples.
