The Blunder: Mismatched Makeup

The Offender: Leighton "Crazy Eyes" Meester

Never in a million years would we think to pair red and purple accessories together, let alone lipstick and eyeshadow, respectively. Seriously — the usually lovely (and impeccable!) Leighton Meester can't even pull off this tricky, ambitious look.

The Fix: With bold beauty looks, remember this cardinal cosmetic rule: If your eyes are smoky and dramatic, a subdued lip is its best complement, and vice versa. When rocking racy red lips, a few coats of lengthening mascara are all you need.
