Leighton Meester, you are *so* fabulous. Not only do you show up at events exuding impeccable person style and grace, but you play Blair Waldorf, my favorite character on Gossip Girl, with polished skill and precision. And I’m not even mad at you that you get to make out with Chuck. Yup, I like you that much.

So here’s how to score Leighton’s look:

Prep skin with a primer, like Dr. Brandt Pores No More to lessen the appearance of pores. Get a healthy, even complexion with a natural-looking foundation, like LORAC Natural Performance Foundation. Lightly sweep on an oil-absorbing powder with a fan brush in the t-zone only. Then, give cheeks a glow with a touch of Benefit Thrrrob or a similar pink blush. Spray face with water or MAC Fix+ to get rid of any powdery look.

Sweep a metallic taupe shadow like MAC eyeshadow in Satin Taupe on lids and beneath the lower lashes. Skip eyeliner and lightly coat lashes with a curling mascara, like L’Oreal Panoramic Curl.

Lightly fill in brows, using short, feathery strokes, with a brow pencil one shade lighter than you’d normally use, and brush brows upwards. Use a clear brow gel to hold them in place. Try Anastasia’s Brow Pencil and Clear Brow Gel.

Tint lips with a pink lip stain, like Vincent Longo’s Lip and Cheek Gel Stain in Baby Boo.

Now you’ve got an angelic look fit for an Upper East Side princess. But don’t be fooled by appearances, k?

xoxo,
Glossy
