Get the celebrity look: Halle Berry

Here's how to get Halle's glossy, glamorous look

How could Halle Berry have become anything but a movie star? Everything about her, from her gorgeous complexion to her deep brown eyes, epitomises the kind of Hollywood glamour that makes it impossible not to stare. Make-up expert Tyrone Traylor reveals the secrets of Halle's sleek, sexy beauty so you can try a little star treatment yourself:

• Foundation
• Eyebrow pencil and brush
• Smoky grey eyeshadow
• White eye pencil
• Eyelash curlers
• Lengthening mascara
• Rose blusher
• Golden brown lipgloss and slightly darker lip liner

STEP 1 Apply foundation using a 'spotlight' technique: go one shade lighter than your regular colour and dot the make-up down the middle of your face from just above the brows to below the lips. Apply a sheer coat of this lighter colour to the eyelids and the under-eye area. If needed, apply your regular colour, lightly, to the rest of the face. Do not use powder unless you have very oily skin. If so, apply a light dusting of loose powder.

STEP 2 The brow for this look is well defined and not too narrow. Use a brow pencil close to your natural hair colour to draw a few feathery strokes, filling out the brow. To blend the colour use an eyebrow brush to soften and evenly distribute the colour.

STEP 3 Use an eyeshadow brush to apply smoky grey shadow from the lash line to the crease. Blend well. Use a white eye pencil to line the inner rim of the lower lashes to brighten the eyes. Working with a black eye pencil, draw a fine line along the outside edge of the lower lash line. Use a brush to slightly smudge the colour for a soft, smoky look. Finish the eyes by curling the lashes and applying two coats of lengthening mascara on both the top and bottom lashes. (For added drama, add a full set of false lashes.)

STEP 4 Working with a warm rose powder blusher, begin applying colour to the cheeks at the top of the ear and drag it forward, stopping at the middle of the apple of the cheek (colour should be focused slightly under the cheekbone rather than on the apple).

STEP 5 Apply a high-shine gloss in a golden-brown shade to the entire lip using a lip brush. Follow with a liner slightly darker than your lip colour and line the entire lip completely. Use your brush to blend the liner colour up and into the centre of your lips.
