Whether she’s running a marathon or walking the red carpet, Katie Holmes always looks great. But her recent smoldering eyes and pale lips had us so starstruck recently that we had to get tips from Physician’s Formula celebrity makeup artist Joanna Schlip on how to recreate Katie’s sexy, sleek, and sophisticated look. Start with perfecting the skin with Armani Lumunious Silk #5 foundation with a brush all over the face and set with a powder such as Physicians Formula Talc-Free Mineral Wear Finishing Veil for a soft matte finish. Joanna recommends investing in Dior 5-Colour Eyeshadow in Night Dust for flawless eyes. Begin by applying it at the base of your lash line, using a windshield wiper motion to blend out and away from the eye. Next, add depth by lining the inside rim of the eyes with a deep black liner, like Prescriptives Softlining Pencil in Jet. Get the most length out of your lashes with celeb fave Shu Uemura’s Lash Curler. Finish deep black Diorshow Mascara. Dab DuWop Blushbooster on the cheeks and top off with NARS Lip Lacquer in Chelsea Girls and you’re red carpet-ready too!

LeAnn Rimes has been staking her claim as country’s resident fashionista for a while, appearing in glamorous gowns on the red carpet and becoming a front row fixture at New York Fashion Week. And last night, she did not disappoint at all at the CMAs, appearing in three flawless dresses. She hit the red carpet in a blush Monique Lhuillier gown, changed into a sleek one-shouldered Herve Leger sheath to introduce a performance, and then performed in a slinky navy charmeuse J. Mendel. We think LeAnn looks fabulous in all three of her looks, but we want to know which one you like best! Tell us: Which of LeAnn’s dresses do you like best on her? The pink gown, the one-shouldered sheath or the navy v-neck?
