Bright Eyes.

Everyone wants brighter eyes right?
And with the right products, you can achieve them.
  1. Decrease puffyness - Dip a cotton pad in icy water. It will tone down any inflamation.
  2. Banish dark circles - Firstly, get enough sleep! Fatigue can cause dark circles. Then, get some concealer. Match it to your skintone, and for best results, a light yellow tint in it really helps.
  3. Invest in some white eyeliner - ...and apply to the lower waterline. A simple but effective way to brighten up the whites of your eyes.
  4. And a little gold eyeliner too - It look create on top, you can apply it under black liquid liner, making it a little thicker.
  5. Finish with dramatic lashes - Curl and apply your favourite volumising mascara, I'm a fan of Maybelline Collosal Volume.

Get Blair Waldorf's Look.

Image and video hosting by TinyPic
Let's admit it, as far as superb*tches go, Blair has got to be our favourite.

She's fashionable, she's sassy and her make-up is always flawless.

Luckily, it's also totally easy to re-create.

Firstly, use mineral foundation for the base.

The Body Shop's Nature's Minerals Foundation in 01 or 02, depending on your colouring. Use a foundation brush for even coverage. Rimmel also do nice foundations if you're a bit short on money.

Next, a pinky-red blusher such as Rimmel Mono Blush is perfect. Apply to the apples of the cheeks.

For the eyes, a chocolate brown eyeshadow (Collection 2000 do some nice ones) on just the socket and a dark brown eyeliner on the top lid and bottom lid waterline like ELFs Brightening Eyeliner in Coffee.

Finally, for the lips, apply lip balm or vaseline and then a lip tint, I would definately recommend The Body Shop's Lip Tint in 01 Rose Pink as it's the perfect colour and lasts for ages. You could also apply a red wine lipstick for bolder lips.
Finish with some vintage pearls and a hairband with a bow and you have Blair's super-chic statement look nailed!
