Megan Fox is one of the freshest faces in Hollywood. Known best for her Jolie-esque style and gorgeous pout, Megan keeps her makeup elegant and clean; her makeup staples seem to be fake lashes and a nice natural pink sheer gloss. Her style is a little more street friendly and doesn't quite venture into the more high fashion ultra smoky looks. Her makeup is all about accentuating her features while making sure to vamp up her image as the ultimate sex kitten.

This look is a more of a natural hot girl next door, first date kind of look.

First off as always, concealer and foundation to even out the skin and cover imperfects. Megan seems to be a prone to blemishes. It is important to moisturize and use a primer before applying anything to the skin. Exfoliating the skin also helps to get rid of any dead skin.
Accentuate the cheekbones with a nice matte pink peach blush (ie. MAC Melba). Keeping the blush along the cheekbones and lightly blending it toward the apples of the cheek. The idea here is to contour the cheekbones while giving the face a nice pink natural flush
A natural beige/tan eyeshadow (ie. MAC Malt) can be used all over the lid and blended up toward the brow bone. Make sure to blend away any harsh lines, keeping it soft and romantic.
A peachy brown eyeshadow (ie. MAC Soft Brown) is blended into the creases and up toward the brow bone to create a subtle cat's eye (If your skin is a medium tone than Megan, try MAC Paisley eyeshadow)
A reddish brown eyeshadow (ie. MAC Swiss Chocolate) is blended into the outer corners of the eye and crease to accentuate the outer corners and cat's eye. Keep it subtle!! (If you're a medium tone, use MAC Espresso)
Using a sharpened black eye pencil, create a subtle thin line right along the upper lashes, making sure to leave the inner part of the eye virtually unlined. This keeps the eye open and creates the illusion of bigger eyes.
Apply fake eyelashes as close to the upper lash line as possible and apply tons of mascara.Very carefully line the lower waterline with a white or nude eyeliner, this again, gives the illusion of a open wide eye. Keep it subtle. Don't use too much.
Finish the look off with a fleshy pink lip balm with subtle gloss (ie. Smith's Rosebud Salve or Softlips Rose )
For a little more of a glammed up nighttime/red carpet look, Megan unleashes her inner sex kitten by accentuating her eyes with a bluish black charcoal shadow (ie. MAC Nehru or Too Faced Vixen). Make sure to keep the shadow contained within the lid and create a soft subtle cat's eye right at the outer corner. Start by applying the color from the middle of the eye out, keeping the inner part of the eye open. Use a cosmetic sponge to clean up the edges of the cat's eye. Also, line the lower lash line with the same color while also lining the lower waterline with a black eyeliner and use tons of mascara and fake lashes. Vamp up the lips with a nice pink gloss (Laura Mercer Lip Glace in Merengue)

Gwen Stefani loves iconic old-Hollywood. Her signature red lips and funky style have made her a fashion icon. To achieve Gwen's signature look, here are some key products you need:

A great flawless foundation, hide any dark under eye circles or blemishes
A great bronzer to contour the cheekbones (ie. Too Faced Chocolate Soliel Matte Bronzing Powder)
A nice bone colored eyeshadow for the lid, heading up to the brow. (ie. MAC Vanilla)
A light rich brown eyshadow to blend into the crease and to line the lower lash line (ie. MAC Swiss Chocolate)
A black liquid liner, you want to draw the line starting at the inner corner of the eye, start thin and draw thicker as you reach the outer corner of the eye. ( ie. Urban Decay Liquid Liner in Perversion)
Lashes and Mascara! MAKE UP FOREVER has a great lash bar, but drugstore lashes work just fine, just be sure to trim the outer corners to fit your eye.
A bluish-red lipstick. Gwen has been known to use MAC Russian Red or MAC Ruby Woo. I'm pretty tan so I need to go a little more blue, I like MAC Dubonnet. Make sure to line the lips and lay a little bit of translucent powder around lips of reduce feathering
