Celebrity makeup artist Belinda Moss (She's worked her magic on Eva Longoria, Giselle Bundchen, Mariah Carey, Scarlett Johansson, Norah Jones and Beyonce among others) loves this winter's new must-have look of pale eyes and berry-red lips.

Here's her tips to help you pull off your own state of fabulous!

"For the face, start with a concealer that's one shade lighter than your foundation. Make sure you blend out; you don't want 'raccoon eyes'. For a healthy-looking skin tone, apply a cream blush in light pinks or peaches to the apples of the cheeks," says Moss. "After that, then sculpt the face with a bronzer in the hollow of cheeks and jaw line."

Her secret tip: Dust powder on the face with a big fat fluffy brush to set it. This'll help avoid the "Bozo" look of too much blush while giving you a nice glow.

"Pale eyes are classic and don't make you look like you tried too hard," Moss states. "To achieve this, go for a vanilla base and smudge dark brown eyeshadow as a liner in the lash line over the entire lid and up into the crease. Always curl lashes before applying mascara because you could break your lashes if done afterwards. Use two coats of mascara and a little hit on the bottom middle lashes for some drama."

For your lips this winter, go with berry shades, like raspberry.

An excellent, anti-feathering lip base is probably already in your bagyour concealer or liquid foundation. Apply this facial makeup to the outside edge of the lips to help prevent the lip color from 'bleeding' onto the surrounding skin.

Apply a coat of lip balm with SPF 20 to help condition your lips and protect them from sun damage. Lip balm will soften and moisturize the lips without making them waxy or greasy for the top coat of lipstick or lip gloss.

For maximum precision with a berry-colored lipstick, use a lip brush to apply your lipstick neatly and evenly. For a more sheer berry shade, look for a gloss with a hint of berry color and shimmer.

"If you're not a fan of berry colors, consider a more subtle shade, such as a metallic brownish lip tint," Moss advices. "It's a rich color that complements all skin tones and will accent your fall wardrobe. Get a tinted lip balm for sheer bronze color with a little shimmer; it's perfect to wear alone or under your favorite bronze lipstick to add a bit more shimmer. Apply some gloss for added shine."

Here's how to get glamorous in 10 minutes!

Makeup in 3 minutes-use a stick foundation. They offer the clean finish of a powder, the precision of a concealer and the natural-looking coverage of a liquid foundation.

Stroke directly onto the face and blend the color into the skin with your fingertips.

Use a dry makeup sponge to buff into skin.

For dramatic eyes in 4 minutes-use water/gel-based shadow/liner pencils with hydrating cucumber and aloe extracts (your eye makeup will not only last, but also feel good).

Use a pale shade to fill in lids from lash line to crease. With fingertips, blend up to the brow bone.

Use a darker shadow/liner and draw a soft line right along the lash line. Thicken at the outer corners and gently smudge across the entire lid.

Curl lashes and top with mascara.

And for complete lips in 3 minutes-the pigments in a lipstick transformer product will glam up your regular lipstick. Take your favorite shade, add a dab of blue, black or silver from the transformer. Now you have a holiday or special event version of your of your regular shade.

Use a lip brush to line lips, than fill in with your regular or favorite lipstick.

Wipe the brush clean and dip into one of the transformer colors. Apply directly to lips.

Add sparkle by applying translucent gloss to the center of your lips.
