In “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” Audrey Hepburn’s iconic brows and fluttery lashes gave her a sweetness that people continue to imitate today. Unlike the harsher white liner seen on the waterline of other 1950s starlets, Hepburn’s wide-eyed look comes from a peachy-beige pencil.
To create her look at home, you’ll need true neutral shades. The eyes are primed, and then a trio of eye shadow is applied. When drawing the eyeliner wing, keep it short. Think kitten, not cat-eye. A full pair of fluffy false lashes give this look its innocent appeal. The cheeks are neutral as well, and coral lipstick rounds out the look.

Instructions
1. Apply eye shadow primer with the applicator wand. Pat it into place with a small concealer brush.
2. Sweep cream-colored eye shadow over the entire eye area with the fluffy blending brush.
3. Use brown eye shadow and the fluffy blending brush to define the outer corner of the eye and crease.
4. Pat satin baby pink eye shadow onto the inner two-thirds of the lid with the flat shading brush.
5. Line the lower waterline with peachy-beige pencil eyeliner, and then use the small shadow liner brush to diffuse the pigment at the lash line.
6. Apply black liquid eyeliner just above the upper lashes. Extend the liner slightly beyond the outer corner in a wing.
7. Holding the false lashes with tweezers, apply a small amount of lash glue onto the lash band. Let the glue set for 10 seconds, and then apply the lashes just above your upper lash line.
8. Sculpt and define your brows by brushing brow cream through them with an angled brow brush.
9. Gently massage makeup primer into your skin with your fingers.
10. Apply foundation to your face, and work it into your skin in patting motions with a foundation brush.
11. To cover discoloration in the undereye area as well as brighten the center of your forehead, nose, cupid’s bow and chin, apply concealer with the applicator wand, and then use a flat-topped brush to buff the product into your skin.
12. Pat loose powder below your eyes and on the other concealed areas with a powder brush.
13. Make your nose look slimmer by applying cool brown contouring powder along each side with a narrow brush.
14. Pat and swirl copper blush onto the apples of your cheeks with a cheek brush.
15. Apply mascara to your upper and lower lashes. Tip: Try not to get mascara on the false lashes.
16. Apply matte coral lipstick with a lip brush, which gives you better control, especially around the Cupid’s bow and outer corners.
