BEAUTY QUEEN: DIANE KRUGER

these lashes are no april fools’ joke

by ray siegel

We know that Diane Kruger has no trouble getting dressed up for the red carpet. But when you're attending an event at a bowling alley--as she was, for the FX Upfronts this past weekend--bright red lips and smoky eyes might be a bit much--and of course, the actress knows it.

Instead, she goes with an all-natural beauty look that has just enough oomph on the lashes to make it a perfect strike. The key? Keeping the skin and lips simple (Kruger goes with a rosy just-slightly-brighter-than-natural lipstick) is what allows your eyes to really pop. And we promise, it's easier than you think.

FLAIR IT: Sephora Collection False Eye Lashes in Flair - $10 Look for a pair of false eyelashes that flips out at the corner of your eye. If you're not ready to go all-in, cut the lashes and just apply them to the outer edge of your lashline.

CURL IT: Lancome Le Curler - $23 Amp up your lashes--natural and not--with the help of a curler. We're fans of the double-squeeze to ensure as big of a curl as possible.

LUSH IT: Dior Diorshow Mascara - $25 Starting at the base of your lashes, slowly bring up the mascara wand, giving it a little back-and-forth shake as you go to get that extra boom.
