Celebrity: Top 3 Megan Fox Inspired Looks

To look sexy like Megan Fox, apply a light reflecting, yellow-based concealer (one shade lighter than your natural skin tone) to conceal dark circles. Blend a shimmery white or gold eye shadow from the lash line to the brow bone and sweep on a smoky charcoal shadow to add depth to the crease. Megan plays with bright makeup colors every now and then, so more festive occasions call for boldly colored eyeliner along your upper or lower lashes (not both).

Megan Fox’s eyes are a piercing shade of blue, which boldly contrast her raven hair and bronzed complexion. Spotlight your own eyes by copying Megan’s full, high arches (use brow powder or pencil, paired with a brow stencil to get this look).

To score chiseled cheekbones like Miss Fox, apply your blush directly underneath the cheekbone to create the illusion of a more sculpted face and to slim down full cheeks. A touch of highlighter powder or cream applied to the temples and tops of the cheeks adds a finishing touch. Oh so foxy.

Marilyn and Megan are all about the sexy bedroom eyes and messy bedroom hair. To get cat-shaped eyes like either bombshell, apply black liquid liner to the upper lash line in one continuous motion, sloping the line upward and extending it beyond the outer corner of the eye in Cleopatra-esque fashion. Skip the eyeliner on the lower lashes during the day; mascara alone will bring them out. Before you apply mascara, prep your lashes with an eyelash curler and glue a few individual lashes to the outer corners of each eye. Wham, bam, now that’s some serious transforming. –Stephanie Simons


Here are some of her tips and tricks:

1. Glamorous lashes
Whether Fox goes for a heavy coat of mascara or piles of false lashes, she lets her eyes do the talking. The actress balances long, curled eyelashes with soft makeup for an approachable twist on red-carpet glamour.

2. Red Lipsticks
A girl can never have too many little black dresses, or too many shades of red lipstick, two axioms which Fox has down pat. Her lipstick changes with her look: orange-reds with fresh, dewy makeup and deep wine-reds with smoky eyes, polished skin, and her signature sultry pout. The best orange is M.A.C. Lipstick in Morange; dark shade, Dior Addict Lipcolor in Decadent Plum; and true red, Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Lipcolor in Absolute Rouge.

3. Hair doesn’t need to be complicated to be pretty.
From a coffee run to the red carpet, Fox’s hair never looks over-done. She works beachy waves with a couture gown, or a sleek ponytail for a movie premiere. The fuss-free approach is part of her appeal.
