FOTD: Ashley Greene 60's Inspired Makeup

How lovely!

I love everything about this look: the hair, the lashes and the white eyeliner.

Look created my Celebrity makeup Artist: Vanessa Scali.

To start, Vanessa evened out Ashley's "nearly flawless skin" with Lancôme's Effacernes concealer in Light Bisque underneath the eyes. "It gives clean, fresh, flawless coverage," she said. Bobbi Brown's Foundation Stick followed. Lancôme's Blush Subtil in Shimmer Pink Pool topped the apples of the cheeks.


For Ashley's dramatic eyes, Vanessa swept YSL's Fard Lumiére Aquarésistant Cream Eyeshadow in Pink Sands over the entire eye. To define and elongate the lash line, Vanessa used Lancôme's Artliner in Black and lined the inner rims with Shu Uemura's Painting Liner in White. The finishing touch: a few generous coats of Lancôme's Ôscillation Mascara in Black for "seductively lengthy lashes," says Vanessa. Ashley's brows were sculpted with Lancôme's Le Crayon Poudre in Brunet.



Finally, Lancôme's lipstick from the Pout-á-Porter series-L'Absolu Rouge in Chris & Tell.
