I love how Kerry Washington managed to coordinate her dress and makeup without looking too prissy or matchy-matchy. Instead of the usual match-your-dress-to-your-lipstick thing, her makeup artist, Autumn Moultrie, went for a muted lip look and opted to echo Kerry's dress color in her cheeks by just applying a hint of sheer coral blush right to her apples. I also love how Kerry's bright, glowy cheeks contrast with her dark, vampy nails. Her whole look is a little ladylike and a little edgy, which is the freshest way to go, according to celeb manicurist Deborah Lippmann. Last year, we saw a lot of celebs go a little Goth with their makeup by pairing black nails with dark lipstick, but Lippmann says things are lightening up this season—choose one edgy feature in your makeup look and keep the rest pretty and sweet—just like you! To test out Kerry's nail look, try Lippmann's Dark Side of the Moon, a deep gray-green polish.
