It was eyeliner hysteria last night on the MTV VMAs red carpet—I want to say 98 percent of the starlets that showed up (Cassie, Nicky Hilton, Pink, J.Lo, etc.), had some version of a heavily lined and super defined eye. Tres chic, sure—but only one pretty lady got the look really right: Lauren Conrad. Check her out above—could her eyes be anymore gorgeous, huge and perfect? There’s one big reason why her version of lined eyes really stood out from the pack, and it’s something you don’t need to hire a makeup artist to pull off yourself. Get the trick we all could use—and check out the one VMA attendee that should have heeded our advice…after the jump!

This week actress Michelle Monaghan turned it out for the Vogue event at Saks Fifth Avenue in NYC—they were celebrating the opening of their new and improved third designer-packed floor—along with a slew of other celebs including Anna Wintour fave Charlize Theron. Anyways, Michelle really pulled off the inner lower eyelid lining thing—and it ain’t that easy to do. So many people try lining the inner rim of their eyes and hate either the results (teeny-looking eyes) or the process (getting that pencil so freaking close to your eyeball!). But if you’re someone who doesn’t mind getting in there and working it with the eyeliner, check out my eye-widening liner tip, after the jump! (I swear your eye really will look ginorm.)

Our Catherine has beautiful eyes, but she’s never been able to master that smoke-ified look. The lovely Trae at Three Custom Color showed her how to properly apply eyeshadow and eyeliner so she doesn’t look like she got in a crazy girl fight.

Some people celebrate Easter by going to brunch. Others hunt for plastic eggs. And then there are those who participate in the San Francisco Easter Sunday “Hunky Jesus” competition. Above is 2007’s chosen one. Essentially, the competition, officiated by gay charity group Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, requires men to parade around in rags, and one is honored as the most attractive “Jesus.” Click through this slideshow from Sunday’s competition, and you might notice a trend: eyeliner. Did Jesus wear makeup?

What makes rockers hot other than skinny pants and good hair?  Guyliner, aka a thin, manly line made with a black pencil that says, “I’ve got a steady hand.” And an impressive string of straight men have been rockin’ the glam look.  Like the guy we all wanted to loose our virginities to, Jordan Catalano, er, I mean Jared Leto. While back in the day his TV classmate Ricky was workin’ the liner, now Leto strokes a guitar and a black pencil as the lead singer of 30 Seconds To Mars.  But Leto’s not alone in the black and the blues—plenty of his fellow rock n’ rollers are lining up too. Everyone, from emo babyface Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance to 40-something Californicator Anthony Kiedis of the Red Hot Chili Peppers, has been penciling in.  Especially Ashlee Simpson’s other half, teeny boppin’ Fall Out Boy Pete Wentz.  Swoon for yourself….
