How To Get Blake Lively’s Makeup Look at the Emmy Awards 2009

Celebrity Blake Lively was wearing Dior Beauty products at the Emmy Awards 2009!

Celebrity Makeup Artist Kristofer Buckle used Dior Beauty products to create a stunning “golden goddess” look for “Gossip Girl” star Blake Lively at the 2009 Emmy Awards in Los Angeles this evening.

“I used a lot of warm, honey colors on her skin and lips to make her green eyes pop,” said Buckle. “Then I topped off the look with tons of DiorShow Blackout Mascara, which transformed her upper and lower lashes into expressive frames.”

Makeup artist tip: “I used Dior Eye Show in Undressed Beige on Blake’s cheekbones and shoulders to create an ethereal glow,” said Buckle. “It’s technically an eyeshadow but it works basically anywhere you want to reflect the light!”

Skin: DiorSkin Airflash Spray Foundation in #301, Dior Skinflash #3 around the eyes.

Dior Serum de Rouge Lipstick

Dior Serum de Rouge is not a gloss, is not a lipstick: this is a Luminous Colour Lip Treatment. It moisturizes, smoothes and brings a youthful look to lips. Formulated like a skincare product, Sérum de Rouge targets lips on every level, from the surface to the epidermis and dermis and is the first lipstick to feature 10 times more active ingredients than a classic lipstick, including: concentrated vegetable butter for texture and softness, SPF 20 for environmental protection and Dior’s exclusive blend of active ingredients for hydration, firmness and volume.
