Make like Paris Hilton and try on the smoky-eyes look. It's great for a night out, a big performance or a dinner date! Try a black and gray shadow combo, and smudge on with a wet brush for longer-lasting colour, and wear lots of mascara, but choose a pale lip hue, like frosty pink or a creamy nude.

Christina tries on doll-like makeup in a new photoshoot.

This new photoshoot looks scary at first, so don't go clownish a la Christina unless you're headed for a Halloween party.
*Apply a shimmery white shadow to your browbone.
*Line your top lids with black liner.
*Add lots of mascara to top and bottom lashes. (False eyelashes will look really unnatural and fake, like in the picture above.)
*Use a baby pink blush on the apples of your cheeks...
*Finish with a shiny, pinkish-red lipgloss.

Christina's 2002 Video Music Awards makeup was very unusual, but I found it really beautiful. I wouldn't try to pull this off unless you're going to a big event where you're going all out. If you choose this shadow hue, make sure you apply it very neatly, paying close attention to contour--and use more than just one colour; use red, burgundy, plum, copper and black. Finish the look with dramatic faux lashes or extra mascara. Keep the rest of your makeup barely-there, or you will look freaky!

Paris Hilton works the runway in a funky, 50's-early 60's mod look. Copy this look with any black, white, or red outfit you have. Just use a black eyeshadow and apply over your whole lid, winging it at the ends. Line the bottom of your eyes, and finish with mascara. Don't forget a peachy-orange blush, and an orangey-red lipgloss to complete the look. I've never seen anything like it before.

Christina's cat-eye looking makeup is a great look for a night out. Simply draw a thick line of black shadow on your top lids, and wing it out, making it thicker at the corners, and extend. Intensify the look by adding lots of color underneath your eyes, too, like Christina.

This is a very unique and dramatic makeup look, even for cosmetic-crazed Christina. To copy it, use a dark brown shadow on your lid, black in the crease, and an iridescent bluish purple smudged just below your eyes. Don't forget to heavily line your eyes in black shadow.
