Hayden Panettiere looked beautiful at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner in Washington, D.C., pairing her braids with glowing, fresh skin and a bold lip. While I’m not a huge fan of the Nashville actress’ Katherine Kidd dress, I did love the color and her amazing hair + makeup. Lets break it down with a few tips to remember when copying Hayden’s look!

Hayden Panettiere’s Fresh Makeup at the White House Correspondent’s Dinner 

• Braids have been back in style and aren’t going anywhere. This is one of the best braid headband tutorials I’ve seen on Pinterest – super easy!
• Prep the face. Double up your products by mixing your primer with a highlighter to get an all-over glow.
• Clean up your brows. This look wouldn’t be nearly as flawless without Hayden’s perfect eyebrows. Use an eyebrow kit with wax to keep them in place, and try a stencil if you need some help shaping!
• Go easy on the eyes. Gold eye shadow with black liner and mascara on the top lashes only balance out the lip to keep it youthful.
• Leave the lips for last. After your face is finished, prime and line the lips, filling in with a true red lipstick. Use a lip brush for precise application.

And just like Naya Rivera’s purple makeup from last week, Hayden’s is perfect for spring!
