Blake Lively looked absolutely preened to perfection at last night’s premier of Twelve in New York, the new movie which stars her Gossip Girl co-star Chace Crawford. We’re used to seeing Ms. Lively in the hottest designer ensembles but we were particularly green with envy as we clapped eyes on the actress in a Chanel dress from the fabulous Chanel Resort Collection 2010 that was unveiled in St. Topez back in May. She teamed the navy wool dress with nude Louboutin’s sling backs, an effortless ponytail and dewy make-up.

Blake knows that to get that natural flawless look a girl has got to put the effort in.

Her Make-Up Look spans from top to toe. To start with she has applied a light instant tanner that has a soft shimmer to really capture the light, perfect for a hint of a sun kissed glow. A reliable favourite is Rimmel Sunshimmer, make sure you go for the fair bottle as the really fake tan look is not hot right now.

Blake’s foundation looks airbrushed. If us mere mortals want to get this look it is all about perfect blending. Invest in a good foundation brush like the MAC 187 Duo Fibre brush. Its unique bristles softly smooth and polish your foundation. Also don’t forget to wear primer underneath your foundation as this will even out your skin tone and make the foundation last much longer.

Blake has a light shimmery colour on the inside corners of her eyes and just under the brow bone. A taupe colour is applied to the sockets of the eye and blended outwards to elongate her eyes, it is also brought under the bottom lash line to define her eye. Try Lancome’s Ombre Duo Eyeshadow in Ivory Opulence. The inside of her eye was lined with a skin colour pencil, which helps to eliminate any redness and makes the eyes appear more open.

For a more dramatic look team mascara with fluffy glamorous eyelashes like the LA Make-Up Academy Lashes which define the eye and create volume in the lashes.

A flush of colour was added to the apples of her cheeks, which helps to make her look healthy and fabulous. If you had to bring one thing to a desert island, it should be blusher! It can make anyone look healthier and more radiant. I love Nars blusher in Orgasm.

Blake has gone for a girly pink, this lip colour suits most skin types and is a great look with a more dramatic eye. Try Estee Lauder’s Hydra Lustre Lipstick in Pink Champagne for a kissable expensive lip.

Release your inner Blake and try this flawless look. Let us know how you get on.
