While multi-colored, neon makeup is fun on channeling-Rihanna days, sometimes a girl just wants a classic, timelessly sophisticated look — and ladies, this is it. At the CFDA Awards, actress Joy Bryant was breathtaking in creamy crimson lips, spiky black lashes, and full brows. No more, no less — simple, classic perfection!

To get the look, line lips with Shiseido Smoothing Lip Pencil in Chianti ($20, nordstrom.com) and fill-in with CoverGirl Queen Lipstick in Into the Red ($6.99, drugstore.com). Finish by swiping on L’Oreal Double Extend Mascara in Carbon Black ($10.99, drugstore.com) and filling in brows with Boots No. 7 Beautiful Brows Pencil ($6.99, drugstore.com).
