Vamping with Julie

"The O.C." makeup department head, Joni Powell, explains how she created four different "beauty personalities" based on the female leads and their characters. This time out, it's all about everybody's favorite vamp, Julie Cooper (played by Melinda Clarke).

The Sexy Cat-Eyed Beauty

The type: "She's slightly over-the-top and all woman," purrs Jon

The how-to's: Eyes are the key to this vampy look. Using deep brown shadow, line eyes from the inner to outer corners, extending the line past outer corner for '60s-inspired sass. Apply Mac Powerpoint EyePencil in "Forever Green" to the inner eyelids to make green peepers like Julie's sparkle. Perfect the look with a full set of false eyelashes and bold lip color like Benefit's The Gloss in "Kiss Me."

Hot tip: Melinda does Mystic Tan UV-Free tanning treatments to channel Julie's beach-babe vibe...without sun damage.
