Olivia Wilde is a natural beauty – she doesn’t need any glitz and glamour to look good – but here she is rocking a serious smoky eye to crank it up a notch anyway.

Our perennial favourite for adding unrivalled rock and serious sex, the smoky eye is having a bit of a moment thanks to autumn’s beauty trends. But though it never really goes out of fashion, it can be fiddly to perfect.

The trick to getting this look down? Don’t over do it. Start small and slowly apply more colour – remember, you can always add more, but you can’t take away quite so easily.

The trick with getting this look down, is not to over do it – start small and slowly apply more, as some eyes can handle a little more smoke than others.

A smoky eye will always look more defined against a beautiful backdrop. To get flawless looking skin like Olivia’s try a foundation such as Clinique’s Even Better Makeup Spf15 Combination Oily Skins. This is a oil-free formula that evens out skin tone and gives you a brighter complexion.

One pallet that will help you get the exact shades for this look is Estee Lauder’s Pure Color Palette (Blue Dahlia). With this you can use the darker shade of blue on the top eye lid and the black on the bottom. To create a truly smoky eye, the best thing is to apply a fine layer of black on both the bottom and the top eye lid first, shaping it into an extention of your eye shape before applying the top coat of darker colours.

Once you are happy with the eye shadow, apply a thickening mascara such as Laura Mercier’s Full Blown Lash Mascara. This leaves your lashes looking thicker without the nasty clumps.

To highlight your cheek bones like Olivia’s use Benefit’s new Cha Cha Tint. A mango coloured cheek stain that will brighten up those cheek bones.

To finish off the look apply a nude colour to your lips. Private Blend Lip Colour lipstick in Vanilla Suede by Tom Ford is a perfect match.

This look is all about the glowing flawless skin and perfect curls. Here’s how to look as great as Whitney.

Porcelain skin can be a hard thing to achieve, but not with a fabulous foundation and primer. To really make your skin glow use YSL Perfect Touch. It’s very easy to apply as it has a brush applicator, leaving your skin smooth and satin looking with a healthy glow.

To highlight areas for even more perfection, use Topshop Cheek in Prism. To duplicate Whitney’s style apply just under the eyebrows and along the cheekbone to enhance and make your complexion three-dimensional.

Usually one for natural messy looking curls, Whitney has opted for big loose curls, with a far left parting and lots of volume. The best way to get such a voluptuous fro is to maximise height before you start to define the curls. Volumista from Oribe will help you along. Spray on your wet hair from the roots to tips to get the best affect. It works by swelling each hair shaft.
