Halloween on the Upper East Side: Blair Waldorf Beauty Looks

Last year Zephyr wrote a great piece on copying Blair’s style with excellent pointers on her hairstyle, too, so here are the pointers for how to achieve her signature beauty look.
For makeup, start with a light coverage foundation. Blair’s skin is flawless (I’m totally jealous), so you’ll want to make sure skin is plenty moisturized before applying. I’m hearing rave reviews about the dreamy smoothness of Maybelline Dream Liquid Mousse Foundation.

Next, take a shimmery bronzer and dust it over your entire face to get a little bit of sparkle. Use it a bit more heavily underneath your cheekbones to give them shadowing and definition. I think Too Faced Mini Pink Leopard Bronzing Powder has a nice mix of shimmer and color.

The rest of Blair’s daytime makeup look is polished with a glossy lip. For eyes, use a light taupe/golden eyeshadow on lids and blend a darker brown shadow in your creases. Line your eyes with a brown or gray eye pencil, and finish by curling your lashes and adding a light coat of mascara. For her lips, pick a really shiny gloss–I like Clinique’s Full Potential Lips Plump and Shine.

If you’re going after Blair’s evening makeup, all you’ll need to modify in the steps above is that you’ll use a darker base shadow–like a dark gray–and then blend a black shadow (either sparkly or matte, your choice!) into the creases of her eyes. Layer on the mascara more heavily, and take a shimmery white shadow and highlight under your eyebrows and in the inner corners of your eye.

You’ll be glammed up for the most exclusive social event of the year!
