Where: 2012 Teen Choice Awards
Why we like it: Most recognized as Zooey Deschanel’s model best friend Cece on the hit show New Girl, former television presenter Hannah Simone has impressed us again and again with her smooth, flawless complexion and quirky makeup tastes. This look is perfect for a summer date as there’s a bit of drama in the eye but it’s dressed down by her perfect peachy toned lip.
How to get it at home: Start by applying a lightweight foundation that has buildable coverage. Amazing Cosmetics’ New Velvet Mineral Liquid Custom Finish Foundation SPF15, $36, goes on with a very smooth, light texture but allows for up-to-full coverage with enough building. You want as perfect skin as you can get with this look without venturing into mask territory. Really work the product into your skin because it’s a main feature in this look.
Get a smooth, even base for your eyes with a cream shadow product, such as Laura Mercier’s Eye Basics, $24, in whichever color is just a shade lighter than your skin. Apply it all over the lid, into the inner corner, and under the lower lash line, blending well, for an even and highlighted base. Next, take a liner or shadow pencil, such as Buxom’s Waterproof Smoky Eye Stick in Smoky Coal, $19, and carefully apply your liner making it quite thin by the inner corner, and blended out towards the outer corner with a small flick. Apply a very small amount just at the outer fifth of the lower lash line and line the upper waterline, too. This product’s built-in sharpener allows for you to get as focused a point as you’d like which helps when doing a more precise look.
Hannah’s lashes are quite spidery so look into individual lashes or one of the lash extension products, such as Too Faced’s Better Than False Lashes Nylon Lash Extension System, $35. The most common complaint about these systems is that the result is quite spidery but that’s perfect for this look where you want separated lashes. Finish off your look with a creamy peachy-pink lipstick, such as YSL’s Rouge Volupte Silky Sensual Radiant Lipstick SPF15 in 13 Peach Passion, $34.
