Fresh-Faced Makeup
Pretty makeup doesn’t always mean pounds of product. Case in point: Maine’s fresh-faced makeup look for the movie premier of “Isa Pa With Feelings.” What’s key here is her utterly flawless complexion, exquisitely groomed brows, a defining mascara and finally, the most perfect muted pink-nude lipstick.

Power Pink Lips
Celebrity makeup artist Juan Sarte sure knows how to amp his lip color choices for the talented actress! This bright pink lip color suits Maine’s morena skin tone, in the same way it does her eyes.

METRO.STYLE RATING:
Signature Red Lips
Of course, this list won’t be complete without Maine’s signature red lip. And if you want to know the secret to making a red pout last, the answer is: a lip liner! Apply the lip liner to your lips before painting them with your favorite red shade.

Pretty in Pink
This look just proves that monochromatic pink lids, cheeks and lips can be flattering on all skin tones—even on morenas like Maine! Play with different hues to create dimension to a look that can tend to look flat.

Natural doesn't always mean boring. Take it from Juan Sarte's au naturel look for Maine—just a subtle enhancement of what already works: beautiful eyes and a power pout.

While Maine's hair is naturally straight, a curled hair moment always works to her advantage! Take this side-parted 'do that gives us all sorts of disco, festive vibes!
