LEIGHTON MEESTER'S HAIRSTYLES, Just this morning, Biotherm announced that Leighton Meester—one of my original and most favourite beauty crushes—is their newest global ambassadress. Makes total sense, because Biotherm is a skincare brand and holy hell, does this girl ever have great skin.
I was so focused on the hair before that didn't fully realize it myself until I sifted through her photos to prepare this retrospective. She's going to be starring in campaigns for Aquasource in 2014, and I'm pretty sure she could just wear that alone on the red carpet without a stitch of makeup, and look all kinds of gorgeous.Look at her skin here! As my friend L. often says, it makes you want to go all Vampire-like and steal her collagen.
This pic just goes to show you that when your foundation is good—as in, your skin's so good that you barely need foundation makeup—you shouldn't feel required to do anything else. Your great skin can BE the look. Here, I can detect some shimmery gold shadow, soft brown eyeliner along the waterlines, mascara, nude lip gloss and the most restrained application of blush.
