Get her fresh-faced look:

1. "Use brow powder to fill in the eyebrows. This will conceal thin areas and control any unruliness."

2. "Apply dark brown eyeliner (recommended: Laura Mercier Tightline Cake Liner in Ground Espresso) on the base of the upper lash line. Follow with a neutral cream eye shadow (recommended: Smashbox Cream Shadow in Topaz) in the center of the eyelid and blend the color outward."

3. "To enhance the color, apply a powder shadow in a similar color over the lid. Smudge a light brown shadow (recommended: Laura Mercier Café Au Lait) on the lower lash line to add a bit of definition."
