Hey Upper Eastsiders, Gossip Girl here. And I have the biggest news ever
It's time to pull out your headbands because Gossip Girl is returning for a 10 episode on HBO's new streaming service in just a few months!. As a huge Gossip Girl fan myself, Miss Makeup has been posting heaps of makeup tutorials inspired by your favourite Upper East Siders. If you haven't already, be sure to read the other articles: Blair Waldorf, Serena Van Der Woodsen, Little J (Jenny Humphrey) and Vanessa Abrams.
This look was a special request from one of Miss Makeups readers who would love to recreate Blairs 18th birthday look. I was so excited when I saw what look they wanted me to recreate because it is definitely one of my favourites. Keep reading to see how you can recreate this look!

COMPLEXION:
1. Start off your look with a thin layer of moisturiser. This will help your skin to look youthful and glowy!
2. Prime, Prime, Prime! As Nikkie Tutorials says, not to prime is a crime
3. Use a beauty sponge to apply a full coverage foundation all the way down to your neck
4. Sparingly apply a concealer 1-2 shades lighter under your eyes, on your chin and centre of your forehead
5. Set with a loose translucent powder for an oil-free look
FACE:
6. Blush is important for this look to give more colour to the look. Using a blush that has some dew but isnt a bold colour would be best. Apply just above the cheekbone down to the apple of the cheek.
7. Focus a warm-toned (NOT cooled toned) bronzer around the outer edges of the face for more structure but avoid contour
8. To keep the dew, apply highlighter on alllll high points of the face
9. Finish off the face makeup with a dewy setting spray like the Morphe X Madison Beer Dew Mist

Love it!
