ANNE'S TECHNIQUE

"I'm fearless with lipstick—I'll wear red, fuchsia, burgundy—but when I try to make up my eyes for a night out, I'm sooo tentative," says Anne. Her noncommittal technique: Dust bronzer across eyelids with a fluffy brush; gingerly line upper lids (outer half only) with a black pencil; apply one coat of mascara. While the result isn't garish or unflattering, it doesn't do Anne any favors, either. "Anne has such beautiful big blue eyes, she can play them up a lot more," says Linter.
