Where does Santana's signature style come into play? According to Nadine, it's all about the brows and rosy cheeks. "She has a classic, old Hollywood brow shape and you can mimic that with a brow stencil and dark brown pencil or powder," per Seventeen. Using Too Faced's Brow Kit will leave you with brows as sharply defined but graceful as the character's cutting comebacks (via YouTube).

Especially during the show's mega-popular middle seasons, Santana emphasized her cheeks with a rosy glow. Think about when she serenaded Sam Evans (Chord Overstreet) with her solid-gold original "Trouty Mouth" in Season 2 (via YouTube). It's all about the soft tint on her cheeks. Nadine listed a warm-toned, cream blush as the best way to achieve this look.

If you're following along, finish off your look by applying a neutral color on the lips and pulling your hair back in a high ponytail (a staple for any cheerleader on the show). This look will leave you ready to try out for a spot on the Cheerios!
