Betty
One of Betty's most memorable looks had to be in season four, when she rocked this sky-high, sexy Bond Girl-esque 'do and a smoky cat eye.
Betty's Foundation
Horochowski says she recommends using a foundation like BYTerry Light Expert Perfector ($62, birchbox.com) for a flawless complexion like Betty's. "I like to apply foundation with a brush, and then, blend with a damp Beauty Blender," she explains.
Betty's Shadow
Horochowski says she used Kevyn Aucoin's Snow/Coal Duo Shadow ($42, bloomingdales.com) to create Betty's smoky eye look, but she also loves the Benefit Cosmetics Smokin Eyes Palette ($36, Birchbox.com).
Betty's Liner
"Use Smashbox Limitless Liquid Liner Pen ($22, Birchbox.com) to create a cat eye," Horochowski says. "Start with a thin line in the inner eye and gradually bring it out, letting the liner get a little thicker towards the outer eye."
Betty's Brows
Then, fill in brows with Anastasia Dip Brow Pomade ($18, birchbox.com).
Betty's Lip
"Finish off the look with a nude lip using Besame Lipstick in Debutante Pink ($22, birchbox.com)," says Horochowski.
Peggy
Horochowski notes that when it comes to glass ceiling-smashing Peggy, she goes for "a very sheer no makeup look."
Peggy's Foundation
Start by applying Laura Mercier's Tinted Moisturizer ($44, birchbox.com) all over the face, says Horochowski.
Peggy's Blush
"Lightly dust cheeks with Cargo Swimmables Water Resistant Blush ($26, Birchbox.com) in Soft Tangerine to add little color," Horochowski advises.
Peggy's Lashes
For big, beautiful eyes like Peggy's, paint the top lashes with Benefit Roller Lash ($24, Birchbox.com), says Horochowski.
Peggy's Lip
And complete the Peggy look with Benefit Posietint ($30, Birchbox.com) on lips followed by lip balm to soften the look.
Joan
Looking to recreate the ultimate red bombshell's beauty? You're not alone! Who wouldn't want to do their best Joan impression?
Joan's Complexion
"To achieve this look, start by applying ByTerry Cellularose Blush Glace ($66, beauty.com) to the apples of the cheeks and blend with a Beauty Blender to create a "peaches and cream" complexion," says Horochowski.
"Then use a liquid liner, like Eyeko's, on the upper lid to create the cat eye. Fill in and accentuate the brow with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Auburn ($18, Birchbox.com). Finish off the look with a pouty lip using Laura Mercier Lipstick in Baby Lips.
Joan's Perfect Cat Eye
"Then, use a liquid liner, like Eyeko's ($16, Birchbox.com), on the upper lid to create the cat eye," advises Horochowski. You'll also want to make your eyes pop by accentuating the brow with Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade ($18, Birchbox.com) — same as Betty's! — but in Auburn.
Joan's Perfect Pout
"Finish off the look with a pouty lip using Laura Mercier Lipstick in Baby Lips ($24, sephora.com)," says Horochowski.
