1
Apply your foundation and powder over your face as you typically would. Avoid using bronzer, as Audrey Hepburn had fair skin with a soft blush.

2
Fill in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil that matches the color of your brows. Thicken your eyebrows as much as possible, coloring in the natural arch to make them more straight and heavy across the brow. Do not color the brows too heavily or they will not look natural.

Cover the eyelid in beige eye shadow from your lash line to the crease of your eyelid. Apply liquid eyeliner starting at the inner corner of your eye and working in a continuous line outward, thickening the line as you get closer to the outer edge. Extend the line beyond the outer edge and curve it upward slightly for a cat's-eye effect.

Apply false eyelashes as close to the lash line as possible, starting at the outer corner of the eyelid. If you are not comfortable using a full strip of lashes, buy individual lashes and apply them at the outer corners of your eyes to create more volume. Allow the glue to dry, then apply two coats of mascara, allowing the mascara to dry between each application.

Tips & Warnings
To draw extra attention to your mouth, dab a small amount of liquid highlighter in the dip between your upper lip and the bottom of your nose. This will draw the eyes downward to look at your lips.
