Neutral makeup never looked so good! Transtiiton your daytime look to night by adding high volume falsies. We love the “Scarlett 8” lashes from Huda Beauty ($20, at sephora.com). No mascara necessary!
At the 19th Annual Accessories Council ACE Awards Taraji dressed up her peepers with lengthy falsies and a subtle purple liner along her lower water line. She completed the look with frosted pink lips. Dying to copy this look?

Who says a smokey eye has to be dark? We love this fresh take on an old classic. Swap your usual black or charcoal shadow for a plum hue and top with fluffy lashes.

At the 67th Annual Directors Guild of America Awards, Taraji proved that shimmer shadows, bronzed cheeks and merlot lips are a winning combination.

Taraji proves that glowing skin is always in at the Billboard Music Awards. To get her glow, we recommend a foundation that mimicks skin like Diorskin Nude Air Serum SPF in Mocha ($53, availabel at sephora.com). Keep the look fresh by adding a glossy pink lip.
Red shadow had a moment this year. Take a cue from Tarajia and match your liner to your outfit and amp up the sexy. Dust your favorite berry-hued pigment along your lower water line.
