Sex siren, a talented actress, and now a new mother–Blake Lively has been our ultimate fashion and beauty crush since Gossip Girl. Like we all know there are very few who can pull off sultry, smokey eyes, contoured cheeks, and perfect bronzed skin — all at once, but Blake makes it all easy.

So we stopped and hacked this beauty savvy’s four different makeup looks and the products used to create them.

If you’re a fan of Blake’s head turning beauty looks, then take your cues from our tutorials ahead and try the look for yourself at home…

1. The Casual Look:

Blake has mixed eye-popping sultry, smokey eyes with pink lips for a sexy summer contrast. The new mother opted for a gorgeous burgundy Gucci gown at the premiere of Grace of Monaco in Cannes and completed her look with a high ponytail. The end result? A casual yet stunning look!

Face:

  • Cleanse your face with an extremely gentle and light Clinique Take The Day Off Cleansing Oilcleanser.
  • Once done, even out your skin with an oil-free formula Benefit ThePorefessionalPrimer to hide blemishes and for a long-lasting result.
  • Now, contour your face with L’Oréal Glam Bronze Duo 101 Blonde Harmony bronzer. Start applying from the hollows of your cheeks towards your temples.
  • For maintaining that healthy glow, dust a wash of soft rosy pink blusher like Maybelline Mineral Power Naturally Luminous Blush in Gentle Pink. This is the most natural and creates a beautiful, silky blush.

Eyes:

  • Blake enhanced her gorgeous eyes by opting for lighter berry tone eyeshadow. We prefer this creamy and richColour Riche Quads Disco Smokingeyeshadow from L’Oreal.
  • She further extended her eyes’ shape by lining her lash line and waterline with L’Oreal Paris Infallible Silkissime Eyeliner in Black.
  • For a stunning look, complete your eye makeup by lengthening your lashes. Apply two coats of Lancôme Définicils High Definitionmascara. The brush’s extra long bristles can save your time from curling too.

Lips:

  • Pucker up and complete the casual look with a light pink lip color, like Nars’Pago Pagoshimmering pink.

2. The Neutral Office Look:

Blake Lively wears her bronze skin, blush tones and shimmer nude pinks to tap into the office’s hottest look. The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pantsactress contrasted her muted skin in a low-cut grey tank top and dazzling skirt from Burberry and completed her striking look with wavy hair and Christian Louboutin pumps.

Face:

  • Begin your routine with an all natural and soothing cleanser. You can use Suki Exfoliate Foaming Cleanser.
  • Now, apply a pore minimising primer like Benefit ThePorefessionalPrimer followed by a subtle highlighter contouring to hide blemishes and contour your picture perfect face.
  • Next, dab a matte finish foundation, like Stila’s Natural Finish Oil-Free Makeupand blend it to match your skin tone.
  • Once done, apply a wash of pink blush to the apples of your cheeks – we prefer Milani Baked Blush to deliver a rosy glow just like Blake did.

Eyes:

  • For Blake’s natural eyes, apply a light champagne eyeshadow on the eyelids, CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in Champagne.
  • Follow this by defining and curling your lashes with Benefit They’re Real! Mascara.

Lips:

  • Apply a slick of natural shade like Colour Riche Extraordinaire In Rose Melodyto complete the look.

Opt for classic Hollywood glamour á la Blake Lively, who smouldered at the premiere of Savages in a curve-hugging Zuhair Murad gown. The Gossip Girl actress pulled off a classic long, hand-embroidered black gown with nude tulle design to channel her look.

Follow our easy tutorial to get her look…

Face:

  • For that head turning complexion, start with cleansing your face with a light and smooth cleanser, CeraVe Foaming Facial Cleanser.
  • Once done, apply a primer, like Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer, to hide blemishes and add radiance to your skin.
  • Now, dab a long-wear foundation, like Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer + Spf and blend it from the middle of your face to match your skin tone.
  • Remember that the real trick in looking fresh and maintaining that healthy glow lies in a good blusher. So, apply a wash of soft colour to the apples of your cheeks – we recommend M.A.C. Cremeblend Blush and create a healthy flush.

Eyes:

Blake has drawn attention to her eyes with a subtle shimmery shadow. To get her look…

  • Apply L’Oréal’s Infallible Eyeshadow 02 Hourglass Beige eyeshadow to the base of your lids.
  • Make sure you blend them fine towards your brow bone.
  • Once done, use black gel eyeliner, Superliner Gel Eyeliner, and thin flick at the outer of your upper lash line and waterline.

Lips:

  • Complete the look with a swipe of Rimmel Lasting Finish Lip Stick Kate Moss Collection in red.

For a classic summer wedding look, opt for a princess-style gown and makeup like actress Blake Lively. The star contrasted her floor-length Michael Kors gown with Lorraine Schwart jewellery and simple bronze makeup.

  • After your cleansing and moisturising routine, apply a primer, like NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturizer SPF 30to clear and get perfect skin.

  • Apply a wash of Tarte Amazonian Clay 12-Hour Blushto the apples of your cheeks. The blusher glides on easily and gives a natural looking skin.

  • For those subtle eyes, first line your lash line and waterline with a kohl pencil, Make Up For Ever Kohl Pencil.
