Effortless Glamour


This picture of Kate Bosworth, made me sigh. This is definitely what effortless glamour looks like!
Tousled waves, natural eye makeup, bright red lips and her off-the-shoulder dress are a stunning combination. 
Her tousled hair can be achieved by wrapping large sections of hair around the outside barrel of the curling iron and a spray of hairspray to allow hold. Black eyeliner is used to line her top lashlines, and a few coats of mascara finish the eyes. A pretty peach blush is used on the apples of the cheeks to achieve a youthful glow.
Her look is then finished off with a bright red lipstick.

Ballerina Babe


I love the Ballerina look! It's cute and adorable and yet, your upper body is highlighted in a flattering and elegant way. The image above is a wearable and toned down version of the look which you can wear to a party; you can achieve this by wearing a loose or low cut singlet and a low key-tutu esque skirt, finish off with heels and voila! Minimal jewellery such as diamond studs, or no jewellery should be worn with this look in order to create ballerina elegance.

Hair, tied into a messy or neat ballerina bun will allow all the focus to be on your pretty face!

Glowing skin and defined cheekbones are key to the look, paired with a soft natural eye and a matte lipstick of choice (the model above is wearing a matte tomato red and it looks fab!), finish off this look!

Bambi Eyes

If ever there was ever a natural, wearable makeup look that makes your eyes look wide and doe-like, it would be this.
The model's glow is achieved by using a tinted moisturiser, and a peach blush on the cheekbones.
Brows are brushed into place and filled in with a brown powder.
The eyes have a light wash of white beige eyeshadow and a subtle matte brown blended into the outer half of the lower lashline. A white eyeliner (or a skin coloured one, if white is too "popping" for you) is used in the waterline and a band of natural fake eyelashes are used to finish off the eyes.
A nude, sheer lipstick is used to finish off this look.

Girl of the Moment!

If you are a fan of The City or The Hills, then you know this Girl of the Moment! I love Whitney Port's girl-next-door vibe, which automatically makes me want to be her friend! Her tousled golden locks, mega-watt smile and natural eye makeup all add to her laid-back appeal. She is always fashionable and I especially love her fashion line, Whitney Eve. (I am yet to fly to America and raid Macy's to get my hands on it!) If you are looking for a natural, effortless and approachable look then Whitney's the woman to copy!
