Great Beauty: Halle Berry's Makeup Evolution

Whether she's zooming down a slide with her totally chic toddler or steaming up the NAACP Image Awards red carpet (left), Halle Berry is always, quite simply, the most beautiful woman in Hollywood. Accordingly, we were inspired to take a look back at her most stunning makeup looks since her days as fresh-faced pageant girl. Halle, we're not worthy.

As Miss Ohio 1986, Halle Berry dazzled in a face full of Eighties makeup: Fuschia lips, berry cheeks and major eyeshadow.

1989, Living Doll

Berry got her big break playing a model in the short-lived sitcom, Living Dolls. On the show, she rocked neutral eyeshadow and a slick berry lip.

Berry rocked little more than a stunning tan and flawlessly sculpted brows at the 2004 Los Angeles Film Festival.

10
