There are some celebrities who we can count on to look perfect on the red carpet every single time--that's why they have hair and beauty teams, after all. There are also celebrities who look totally gorgeous and au naturale IRL (Diane Kruger's currently leading this pack).

Then, there's Emma Roberts, who somehow manages to do both. The actress and bonafide American Horror Story: Coven badass has reached Beauty Queen status again and again with her consistently awesome hair and makeup choices.

They're pretty enough to actually wear regularly (even if you're not a famous movie star), but still pushing the envelope ever so slightly, thanks to some key tips. We can't think of anyone else whose makeup we'd like to copy all the way from Friday night through Sunday brunch...so go ahead and join us, and pick up some Emma Roberts-approved tips here.
