Ever since I watched the Golden Globes two weeks ago, I've become slightly obsessed with finding Natalie Portman's nail polish color for less. The Best Actress winner wore Dior Vernis in Smoking Plum ($21, saksfifthavenue.com).

If you watched the People's Choice Awards and managed to draw your attention away from Kristen Stewart's gold-sequin mini and up to her face, you would have noticed her equally striking, come-hither eyes. Hollywood makeup artist Jillian Dempsey prepped Kristen for the show, creating a jewel-toned smoldering look for the starlet using Avon Glimmersticks in Emerald ($6). Edgy with a hint of glam!
