The red carpet is the perfect place to debut an eye-popping beauty statement. Gabourey Sidibe loves to rock vibrant hues on the red carpet, but we rarely see the curvaceous cutie experimenting with color when it comes to her makeup. For the Oscars on Sunday, we hope she gives us some alluring eyes.

"It would be wonderful to see her with a bright shadow like Milani's Runway Eyes Shadows #08 Shamrock," say representatives from Milani Cosmetics, who suggest slightly wetting your makeup brush first then dabbing your brush into the shadow for a very colorful impact. To create further drama, we suggest that Sidibe uses Milani's Infinite Liquid Eyeliner in Eternal along the upper lashline to really make her eyes stand out. Remember a little eye color goes a long way, and the area of the eye that has the most color is where people will look first.

Sidibe has small, almond-shaped eyes. White liner will help make eyes sparkle and appear more open, particularly if you have flashing bulbs pointing at you on the red carpet like Sidide. To try the trick at home, start by using a white liner on the inside of your upper and bottom lid. Rimming the eyes will help extend the whites of your eyes so that they appear bigger. GET THE LOOK
