Recreate the Look: Zooey Deschanel
Can I just say...I FRIGGING LOVE NEW GIRL!!
Jess (Zooey's character) has the biggest doe eyes ever! Even if you have smaller set eyes, here are some tips to recreate her makeup style:
Prep
Cleanse
Tone
Moisturize
Base
Primer (for oily skin)
Foundation (Try to get it a shade lighter)
Concealer
Powder (if necessary)
Eyes
Prime your eye lids
A glittery sandy beige eye shadow colour (Wet n' Wild has some great ones in their palettes!) Apply the eye shadow on your lower lashline and your eyelid
Note: If you have smaller eyes, use a white eyeliner on your waterline to open them up!
Black Eye liner
A Voluminous Mascara (Maybelline's colossal volume is my go to mascara). Use it on your upper and lower lashes
Thick false lashes (Ardell's glamour lashes in 203 or 205 would be ideal!)
Cheeks
Zooey typically uses a Barbie pink or orange blush. Maybelline Dream Bouncy Blush in Fresh Pink is ideal!
An illuminator. A great illuminator is Maybelline's Magic Lumi Pen. Use this on your upper cheek bone.
Lips
Zooey is known for her "modern pin-up" style look. She accomplishes this look by using reds and fuschias. Funtime Fuschia by Rimmel London is great!!
Hope you guys have fun recreating this look.

Recreate the Look: Kourtney Kardashian
Kourtney Kardashian is by far my favorite Kardashian. Here is what you need to recreate one of her key looks:
Prep:
Cleanse, tone and moisturize your face
Spray sunscreen
Base
Primer (if necessary)
Foundation.
Concealer
Setting Powder (if necessary)
Eyes
A light beige eye shadow. Fair skinned girls should wear a colour like Brule, where as girls with darker complexions should opt to use Malt from Mac. NYX in Nude is a pretty close dupe! To recreate her look sweep the eye shadow on your eyelid.
Black Liner. Apply a thick line on your upper eyelid. Do not wing it out.
Nude Liner. Rimmel Scandaleyes has a good nude liner. If you are willing to splurge, Mac has nude liners which match various skin types. Use the nude liner on your waterline.
A white eye shadow. Place the white eye shadow in your inner corners.
False Eyelashes. If you are on a budget, Elf has fairly decent lashes, but I highly suggest Ardell Lashes. Remember to purchase lengthening lashes like Ardell lashes in 123.
A lengthening Mascara. L'Oreal Telescopic is great for this! Use mascara on your upper and lower lashes.
Brows
Fill in your brows. I personally prefer using a dark brown matte eyeshadow, but choose what ever works best for you
Cheeks
An illuminator. Maybelline's Magic Lumi pen works wonders for this purpose. Use the illuminator under your eyes, and on your cheek bones.
Blush. The blush you choose depends on your skin tone. To best replicate Kourtney's look, use a blush like Milani's baked blush in Rode D'Oro. Baked Blushes will work best, because they create the effect of luminosity.
Bronzer. Rimmel makes a great mineral bronzer. Use the bronzer to contour your face
Lips
Revlon's Fire and Ice or any matte red lipstick
