(InStyle.com) -- The sexy stars of ABC's "Women's Murder Club," a drama about an all-female crime-solving team, showcase the season's killer looks.

Angie Harmon portrays Lieutenant Lindsay Boxer on "Women's Murder Club."

Emerald shadow

How to do it

For a rich, burnished effect, Dior international makeup adviser Shane Paish first covered Angie Harmon's lids with bronze eye shadow from Guerlain's Ombre Eclat duo and liner kit ($50; at Neiman Marcus).

Then he traced her upper and lower lash lines with green shadow, smudging the bold hue so it blended seamlessly into the metallic brown at the crease. Adding extra definition, he lined her inner rims with black pencil.

"With such dramatic eyes, I didn't want the rest of the face to stand out," says Paish. So he chose a blush that was slightly darker than Harmon's skin and muted her lips with the palest beige lipstick and gloss he could find.

What to use

1. Chanel Silky eye shadow duo in Lotus-Cactus (only Cactus shown), $39; chanel.com.

2. Prestige Soft Blend kohl eyeliner in black, $5; at drugstores.

3. Dior blush in Sunkissed Cinnamon, $34; at Nordstrom.

4. Givenchy Rouge Interdit lipstick in Voluptuous Nude, $26; saks.com.

5. MAC 3D Glass in Energy, $14; maccosmetics.com.

Glowing Cheeks

How to do it

Use soft peach and berry tones to give porcelain skin a wintry glow.

After creating a flawless base with Amazing concealer in Ultra Light ($40; ulta.com), Paish swirled peach blush onto the apples of Laura Harris's cheeks to warm up her complexion without making her look tan.

Then he stained her lips with a bright berry gloss; the shiny texture kept the color sheer.

For the icy sheen on the actress's lids, Paish layered a silver cream stick over white powder shadow. He also lined the bottom inner rims of her eyes with white pencil. The crisp white line brightens eyes and gives this sweet look an edge, says Paish, who added mascara to top lashes only.

What to use

1. Maybelline Expert-wear shadow in Vanilla, $4; at drugstores.

2. Stila Kajal eyeliner in Pearl, $16; stilacosmetics.com.

3. Estée Lauder Double Wear Shadow Stick in Silver Pearl, $18; at Macy's.

4. Clinique Superbalm moisturizing gloss in Raspberry, $14; clinique.com.

5. Too Faced blush in Avant-Garde, $19; at Sephora.

Subtle Cat Eyes

How to do it

To soften this look's retro vibe, Paish contoured Paula Newsome's eyes with golden caramel shadows before brushing liquid liner as close to her upper lash lines as possible.

"Start from the outer corner, create the wing shape, then fill in," he suggests. "The wing lifts the eyes and makes you look younger."

After sweeping on three coats of mascara, Paish accented her cheeks by applying foundation above her cheekbones in a shade lighter than Newsome's skin and adding pale apricot blush (Physician's Formula Mineral Wear blush in Blushing Glow, $11; at drugstores) to the apples.

He chose a pink gloss with a hint of brown to match her lips.

What to use

1. Bobbi Brown Moisturizing Cream compact foundation in Honey, $40; at Neiman Marcus.

2. Clinique Colour Surge eye shadow trio in Crème Brulée, $22; clinique.com.

3. Yves Saint Laurent Easy Liner for Eyes in black, $31; at Saks Fifth Avenue.

4. Revlon 3D Extreme mascara in Blackest Black, $9; at drugstores.

5. Estée Lauder High Gloss Plump in Lilac Plump, $17; at Bloomingdale's.

Bold Red Lips

How to do it

"I line lips only when I do a red mouth," says Paish, who chose a scarlet pencil that matched this orange-red lipstick. For a perfect, mess-free application, "start at the bow of the lips, then bring color out to the sides," he advises. "And use a matte color -- I don't like glossy red lips."

Paish sculpted Aubrey Dollar's cheekbones by brushing muted pink blush only on the outside of the apples.

Bringing out her eyes, he dusted pale beige shadow all over the lids and taupe in the creases. For thick yet defined lashes, he dotted black shadow between her lashes before applying mascara: "This makes them look fuller, so you don't need false ones," he explains.
