your Beauty Our duty

Born March 10, 1983, Carrie has a bachelor's degree in mass communication and an emphasis in journalism from Northeastern State University in Tahlequah, Oklahoma. In 2005, Carrie was crowned the winner of the fourth season of the hit TV show American Idol. Her stellar voice clinched the competition, and she has gone on to multi-platinum and Grammy winning success. She did a USO tour in 2006, performing for troops in Tikrit, Iraq. While her good looks have earned her everything from beauty pageant titles to PETA’s “World’s Sexiest Vegetarian” for 2007, much of her fame flows from her lovable personality. Some of her career highlights include: being inducted to the Grand Ol Opry, being a successful cross over artist with songs that appeal to people in all walks of life, and supporting causes and charities in which she believes. She stands out for maintaining a wholesome image despite bombardments by paparazzi and the kind of international fame that drove many of her performer counterparts to risky behavior. Part of that wholesome image is her youthful looks which highlight glowing natural beauty. Follow these simple styling tips to enhance your own natural glow.

Carrie's glamorous eyes can be achieved like this:



- Carrie wears a subtle eye shadow similar to Bed Head Cyberoptics Eyeshadow ($14) in Velvet and Taupe. Use the Velvet shade first, and work up and out from the eye lid crease. Follow with the Taupe shade from the eye lid crease to the lash line.
- To create Carrie’s eye popping look, the best eyeliner to use is Tigi Bed Head Big Fat Fun Liner ($16) in a lighter color like blue or lilac. Use this color mostly around the inside edge of your eyelids, closer to your nose.
- Then, use the Big Fat Fun Liner ($16) in Black fairly heavily to add the darker look. This color should be used more toward the outer part of eyes, and slightly less toward the nose.
- After all of this, apply two coats of Blinc Kiss Me Mascara ($24) in Black, for Carrie’s sexy volume and curl.

Want Carrie's gorgeous hair? Follow these steps to be on your way:



- Begin with MOP Basil Mint Shampoo ($12) to help cleanse and hydrate your hair.
- Follow with MOP Basil Mint Conditioner ($12), which helps rid your hair of oil.
- Dry and style hair with the Wigo Ion Ceramic Hot Air Brush ($79). It will get your hair dry in a flash, while achieving your perfect style at the same time.
- Your finishing touch should be MOP Styling Tonic Spray ($12.50). This spray adds shine and volume while holding your style all day long.

For Carrie's glistening lips:



- The look of Carrie’s lips can be achieved with Naked Kiss Plump and Polish Lipstick ($22.50) in Diva Drama.
- To lock in moisture and shine, apply a final coat of Freeze 24/7 Mini Plump Lips ($24).

Want that flawless skin?



- Your first step is to use Tigi Bed Head Fat Free Stick ($22), in the color that best matches your skin tone. This foundation smoothes skin and evens out your complexion, and can also be used as a concealer over blemishes or dark circles.
- Next, apply Rosie Jane Cheek Gloss ($24) in Marigold. This shade will add just a hint of color to keep your look natural.
