Amy Poehler never seems to age. This of course, is due in part to her effervescent, energetic personality, but it's also because she knows how to work her eye makeup. She uses subtle shading, adding a hazy halo around her eyes, which makes them look circular and wide.

How: Take a light brown shade, such as NYX Hot Singles Eye Shadow in Strike a Pose, $4.50, and blend it across your lid and along your lower lash line. Then, using the same shade, and with your eyes open, blend the color into your socket and a bit above, to create a smoky effect.

Highlight the inner corner of your eyes with a nude shimmer shade, and line your top lash line with a black felt-tip liner, lifting your lid as you go. Add a few coats of lengthening mascara to your top and bottom lashes to complete the look.
