Her effortless chic style and beauty are just awe-inspiring.You can then imagine my excitement when I came across this beautiful photograph of her, posing for Haute Muse Magazine. I instantly fell in love with her makeup look – a soft smokey eye paired with a natural pink lip – and thought of filming a tutorial for it! I went rummaging through my makeup collection, in search of products I could use to recreate the look. I found some gems, high end and drugstore and here’s what I created… Tutorial. Products Used.

Isn’t she just gorgeous?! [Source.] I’ve watched all the movies she has starred in and I especially love her portrayal of the character Sarah Melas in Hitch. Not only is she beautiful, she’s smart and Funny too. When it comes to makeup, Eva’s incredible bone structure allows her to pull off anything, but she usually keeps it light, with the occasional pop of colour. For this look, I pulled inspiration from her recent shoot with W Magazine… Soft (matte) looking skin, a defined eye liner, up to the crease, and a bold rouge lip. My Recreation.
