Blake Lively Inspired Look

Hello beauties, so in my last post I set myself a challenge of recreating a hair and makeup look that Blake Lively sported for the red carpet event of the 100th episode of Gossip Girl. As you must of guessed by now I am a huge fan on Blake Lively and every time I see a picture of her I always think that she looks effortlessly beautiful. Her hair is always messy yet perfect and her makeup is natural looking. The picture show below has inspired me to re-create this hair and makeup look. I hope you enjoy!

Hair Picture

For this hairstyle I had second day hair, making it easier to style and I find that there is a lot more texture there when it's not been washed and dry shampoo has been added. I used a lot of kirby grips to keep everything in place and Aussie's Dual Personality Hi-Hold and Hi-Shine Hairspray to secure it.

I hope you enjoyed this inspired look beauties and if you would like any tutorials on how I created this look please let me know in the comments below. 

Effortlessly Beautiful | Blake Lively

Hello beauties. For those of you who have been reading my blog for a little while will know that actress Blake Lively is one of my favourite fashion icons. I think she always looks effortlessly beautiful and has that perfect 'Girl Next Door Look'. I am always so inspired by her, from the way she dresses, to her makeup and messy but perfect looking hair. 

I was causally reading though my copy of Cosmopolitan on my lunch break and saw her in this amazing fringe dress by marchesa and I thought it would be great to share on my blog.As stunning as the dress is, it's not something that I would causally have hanging up in my wardrobe and therefore wouldn't be able to re-create this look with anything similar in my wardrobe. But here Blake's hair and makeup looks lovely, which does inspires me. Therefore I have set myself a challenge and have decided to re-create the makeup and hair style this weekend for you beauty babes!

If you are interested and want to see with how my take on this hair and makeup style look then be sure to stay tuned over the weekend for the following post. If you have any thoughts or suggestions then please leave a comment below. Take care my lovelies!
