We fall a little more in love with Anna Kendrick every time she takes to the red carpet. The Pitch Perfect actress's appearance last night at the Burt's Bees Hive With Heart Campaign launch was no exception. That alabaster skin! Those kitten-lined eyes! Those tumbling shiny locks!


We know we're gushing, but honestly, we can't help it. This is an actress who knows how to show off her best attributes and manages to look both classy and modern at the same time.


Get the Look : To get Anna's flawless skin, start with an exfoliating mask that has fruit enzymes and lactic acid to brighten and get rid of dead skin cells like celebrity favorite Joanna Vargas Exfoliating Mask . Follow by applying a hydrating daily moisturizer.

Once your moisturizer has absorbed, apply an oil-free primer like LancĂ´me Visionnaire One-Minute Blur to camouflage pores and fine lines and ensure that your makeup lasts all night. Then, with either a foundation brush or your fingertips, apply a brightening light-to-medium coverage foundation like Benefit Cosmetics Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow .


With a concealer brush or your ring finger, tap on a brightening, easy-to-blend concealer like MAC Mineralize Concealer under the eyes. To get Anna's subtle "lit from within" cheeks, apply a peachy-nude blush like Tarte Cosmetics Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blush in Peaceful to the apples of your cheeks with a blush brush. Tip: Pull brush upwards towards your temples to give face an extra lift.


To copy Ms. Kendrick's kitten eye, start by prepping upper eye area with primer or concealer. Follow with a matte powder cream-colored eye shadow. Then, apply a soft matte grey eye shadow like Illamasqua Powder Eye Shadow in Feline in a V-shape with the outer corners of your creases and eyes. Blend like crazy.


Next, using an eyeliner brush dipped in matte black gel eyeliner like Jane Iredale Jelly Jar Gel Eyeliner in Black , create a line along the upper lash line that gets thicker towards the outer corners of the eyes. Once you get to the outer corners of the eyes, flick the brush upwards to create a small kitten wing.

To add extra definition to this look, use the eyeliner brush to create a thin line along the outer corners of the lower lash lines and blend. Then, to make eyes really sparkle, line the inner corners of the eyes with a shimmery white eye shadow. Complete the eye makeup with two to three coats of your favorite mascara.


To get Anna's perfect pucker, first exfoliate lips with a sugar scrub, your toothbrush or a mixture of baking soda and a few drops of water. Then, line and fill in lips with a flesh-colored lip pencil and apply a pink-nude lip gloss like Burt's Bees Lip Gloss in Nearly Dusk .


In our eyes, Anna can do no wrong (yet). We can't decide if we're more excited to see her revive the role of Beca in Pitch Perfect 2 or play Cinderella in Into the Woods. But who are we kidding? We're most excited to see her rock the red carpet!
