We’ve compiled a list of some of our favorite television characters’ makeup and the fabulous tutorials to help us recreate them.
1. New Girl‘s Jess Day: Jess Day always looks adorable (or “adorkable,” according to FOX), and we absolutely love her eye-heavy makeup look accompanied by various shades of pink lipstick. (via Melanie Murphy)
2. Parks and Recreation‘s April Ludgate: April Ludgate might be best known for being the queen of sarcasm, but we always adored her warm smokey eye makeup. This is the ideal neutral smokey eye for daytime makeup. (via Mariaagloriaa_)
