We would give up our lives if we could be Blake Lively. Besides the fact that she starred in Gossip Girl, she is also expecting a child with the way too charming Ryan Reynolds. And that Ryan should be extraordinarily happy too, because Blake is certainly not the least. Or actually, incredibly beautiful. Always has such a healthy glow on her face (and no, she doesn't just have that now that she's pregnant), and radiant eyes. You can achieve that too. Pregnant or not, within ten minutes and under €99.
Complexion
Blake's skin always seems to have a coppery hue. As if she spends the whole year on a deserted island in the sun. It looks great on her. That's why we choose a bronzer that is slightly darker than your own skin tone. A little color smuggling is always allowed.
Eyes
To carry that color over to your eyes, choose a gold-colored eyeshadow. Don't use too much, because you don't want to look like a walking Christmas ornament. We've been there. Be subtle. If you're blonde, it's prettier to use brown mascara. It looks softer. Do you have dark hair? Then you can go for black. You fill in your eyebrows with a mascara. It happens quickly, but make sure the color isn't too dark. It should still look natural.
Lips
One downside of lipstick is that it fades quickly. That's why we take a long-lasting lipstick. The color matches nicely with the whole and gives you a summery glow in the cold winter. Want it to last even longer? Use a concealer as a base, it works like a kind of primer.
