There’s no arguing Sophia Vergara is one of the hottest women on-screen; her bombshell image is easily translated into her Modern Family character and is also incorporated into her everyday life. As the beauty queen says, “I wear makeup every day – I wouldn’t think about leaving the house without it!”

So it’s no surprise that last night on the Golden Globes red carpet, the star took her look to the next level. The stunner knocked ’em dead, but insisted she wanted to keep her hair and makeup simple and classic to compliment her necklace and dress, instead of competing with it. “But of course it’s such a big night, and everyone is taking pictures, so I have to look good!”, the actress said.

Nailing the art of gorgeous makeup without looking too “made up”, Vergara graciously shares with us how she got her look:

“To start off with a good base that would last all night, I started with COVERGIRL TruBlend Foundation in M6 which is super lightweight and blendable. On top, a light dusting of powder to set the look and a bit of rosy colour for the apples of my cheeks with COVERGIRL Clean Glow Blush in Roses.”

“For me, a really glamorous evening look starts with the eyes. I love the drama of a cat eye – tonight I went with brown liner as opposed to black with COVERGIRL Bombshell Intensity Liner in Chocolate Kiss to create the look. I then used COVERGIRL Bombshell Shine Shadow in Gold Goddess to give my eyes a little sparkle. As always, I LOVE big lashes so I used COVERGIRL Bombshell Volume Mascara on my top and bottom lashes to add volume and intensity.”

“For me, lipstick is a must – I feel naked without it. I wish I could just wear a nude shade, but it’s not me – I need colour. I went with a bold red with COVERGIRL LipPerfection Lipstick in Flame. Oh I also always keep a gloss in my purse for touch-ups!”
