Not yet sporting her trademark thick liner or towering coif, Winehouse went almost au naturale for her debut album cover in 2003.

For a minimal look with a hint of glamour, skip the heavy makeup and stick to an eyelash curler instead. Our pick: Shu Uemura Eyelash Curler, $19.

By 2006, Amy had perfected what became known as her signature look: plenty of tattoos, a bold cat eye and a pouf that puts Snooki to shame.

To get va-va-voom hair like Winehouse's, we love Fekkai Full Blown Styling Whip, $23.

While Winehouse’s brand of beauty was anything but subtle, she knew how to balance plenty of liquid liner with minimal makeup and a trendsetting nude lip.

For matte nude lips to complement killer eyeliner, NARS Pure Matte Lipstick in Tashkent, $25 will help achieve the perfect subtle pout.

In a shoot by Bryan Adams for Zoo magazine in 2007, Winehouse demonstrated her flawless liquid liner application abilities. We love this image from both a creative standpoint as well as a utilitarian one; even the most makeup-capable among us can learn a thing or two about liquid liner from Winehouse.

Our pick for a lasting black cat eye like Winehouse's: Wet 'N' Wild Megaliner Liquid Eyeliner in Black, $3. This liner goes on smoothly and seriously doesn't budge - and the thrifty price tag doesn't hurt, either.

For Winehouse’s 2010 Harper’s Bazaar editorial, she kept her edge, but simultaneously opted for a slightly softer look. She added flirty, feminine hair (in keeping with her typical 1950s-inspired vibe) [...]

For Winehouse’s 2010 Harper’s Bazaar editorial, she kept her edge, but simultaneously opted for a slightly softer look. She added flirty, feminine hair (in keeping with her typical 1950s-inspired vibe) to her patent Amy Winehouse style for an end result that managed to walk the fine line between grungy and chic.

For those with liquid liner phobia who still want to channel Winehouse's signature cat eyes, we're obsessed with Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink, $21.
