We were wowed by Olivia Wilde’s smokey-but-colorful and sultry-but-fresh look at the 2012 Palm Springs Film Critics Awards last weekend. Pairing bronze shadow, purple liner, and a modified cat eye was a lot of look to love, but Olivia kept her makeup statement bold (not overdone) with a fresh face and a sheer, light lipstick. Get noticed on prom night our top picks for perfectly emulating her modern, glamorous style.

1. Walk the Line

Using short, feather light strokes apply a liquid liner directly against the base of your top lash line. When you get to the outside corner of your eye, give yourself a small wing tip. This mini-modified cat eye line will help you gauge where to stop applying the rest of your shadow and add just the right amount of drama.

2. Plum-fection

We love this palette from Sephora, which has every color you need to pull off our Prom Look of the Day. Using an angled brush, line your bottom lash line with a deep purple, like the one in the palette above with rich, brown undertones. You don’t want an exact line so smudge with your fingertip and add a thicker line of dark brown starting at the middle of your eye to the outer edge. Apply a medium bronze to your top lid, keeping the color below your crease and then add a layer of darker bronze above your crease, starting at the middle of your eye and continuing out to where you finished your cat eye. Highlight below your brow around your tear ducts with a cream color. Add a few layers of your favorite mascara, using diagonal strokes for a wide-eyed look.

3. Super Glimmer-ous

This three-in-one creamy shimmer stick is a major must-have for a fresh, glowing complexion. To get Olivia’s look, apply with a foundation brush, your fingertips or the stick itself, to the apples of your cheeks and your lips. You’ll get a richer deposit of color if you apply directly to your skin so be ready to blend, blend and blend some more. Add a layer of gloss over your lips for some extra shine.
