Inspired by...

Lately I've been re-watching the Gossip Girl series on Netflix lately and let's just say that I have become a tad obsessed with Blair Waldorf's makeup. Flawless skin, glowy pinky/peachy/golden cheeks, winged eyeliner (sometimes a pearly brown shadow) and a nice pinky/red color on her lips with a swipe of gloss. After digging around the ol' makeup stash I think I have what I need to replicate and wear to death.

Comlexion: Makeup Forever Mat Velvet+ for a super flawless base, Benefit Watts Up which is a golden champagne colored cream to powder highlighter stick for a nice glow on the cheekbones, and a swirl of Benefit Sugarbomb which is the perfect Blair cheek color.

 

Eyes: MAC eyeshadow "Satin Taupe" lightly blended on lids and up towards the crease gives a nice subtly defined eye, next Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner "Jet Black" for her cat-eye, and for long and luscious lashes Benefit "They're Real" 

 

Lips: Maybelline "Are You Red-y?", followed by Makeup Forever Lab Shine Gloss in "Pearly Electric  Rose" for ridiculous shine.

 





There you have it. Safe to say I'll be wearing this the rest of the week, or at least some form of it. The great thing about this look is that it can be worn as-is, or you can omit the shadow or eyeliner and lipstick for a more minimal day look or transform this into more of a nighttime look. This look is  versitile, classically pretty, flattering on everyone and I that's why I like it.
