How-To: Repair a Hole in the Wall

Over the past few years, Kate Mara has amassed a rather impressive resume, and over the weekend, while premiering her latest flick, HappyThankYourMorePlease at the 2010 Sundance Film Festival, she wore a rather impressive fresh-faced makeup look to boot.
While BuzzSugar is excited about the film, I'm excited about Kate's flattering, warm-tone palette, which complements her copper locks beautifully but would look great with just about any hair color and skin tone.
