Get the celebrity look: Penelope Cruz

Here's how to get Penelope's sultry Spanish look

Madrid-born Penelope Cruz was a star in her native Spain before becoming a leading lady in such Hollywood films as Blow, for which she was nominated for a 2002 MTV movie award, and Vanilla Sky. Though her life has been transformed by movie stardom (Tom Cruise, anyone?), her look hasn't - Cruz retains the poise and classic beauty she developed as a ballet dancer. Her exquisitely chiselled features need very little make-up. To get Penelope's look - achieved without eyeshadow - follow the advice of make-up artist Deborah Grayson:

You'll need:

  • Black eyeliner pencil and cotton bud
  • Eyelash curler
  • Mascara
  • Eyebrow brush
  • Concealer
  • Foundation or tinted moisturiser
  • Translucent powder
  • Blusher brush and brick-red blusher
  • Matt maroon lipstick
STEP 1 Begin with the eyes so that if any eye make-up tumbles onto your cheeks it will be easy to clean off. Apply black eyeliner pencil, making a generous line above the entire upper lash line. (If your lids are not as large as Penelope's, make a slightly narrower line.) Using a cotton bud, sponge applicator or your finger, gently smudge the line. Next apply liner inside the lower lash line, and then apply it underneath the outer third of the lower lash line. Curl lashes by crimping them at the bottom, middle and ends of the lashes. Apply mascara on the upper lids. Brush eyebrows up.

STEP 2 Apply a small amount of concealer under the eyes, around the nose and on any other trouble spots. Make sure you use the bare minimum and blend it well; too much concealer can result in creasing.

STEP 3 Apply foundation or tinted moisturiser very lightly all over the face. Cover with a sheer dusting of medium-toned translucent powder. Using a wide, fluffy blusher brush, gently dip the brush into a brick-coloured blusher and sweep it over your cheekbones. As with all make-up application, always start light and build slowly to get the desired finish.

STEP 4 Apply a semi-matt lipstick in a brick-maroon shade.
