Wave: Star Style: Selena Gomez
Our autumn style crush is 19-year-old Monte Carlo actress Selena Gomez. She’s ‘Mrs’ Justin Bieber don’t ya know, and while we’re too old to be jealous of that, we do envy the young Hollywood star’s style. Here’s how to get the look from her appearance at The Grammy Award Nominations Concert:
The key trends here are defined eyes and statement lips. Hair is perfectly styled but appears effortless. Meanwhile, shoulders, arms and legs are bared. Here’s how to get the style a la Selena…
For Selena’s tresses apply Lee Stafford Argan Oil Heat Defence Spray (£12.99, www.boots.com) before styling to protect hair and lock in shine. Define curls with Babyliss Porcelain Curling Wand (£25.49, www.babyliss.co.uk) and secure your ‘do with Superdrug Hair Grips Black (£1.39 x30, www.superdrug.com). Finally, hold the style in place with Elnett Satin Extra Strength Hairspray (£5.99 from www.boots.com).
Here, Selena’s dark, almond shaped eyes are perfectly defined. Applying liner all around your eyes will make them appear smaller; avoid this by applying liner just beneath the lower lashes, but not all the way to the inner corners of the eyes. On the eyelids, extend the liner past the outer corners of your eye and end with an upwards flick. Just make sure each eye is even! For this look try Benefit Magic Ink Eyeliner (£14.50 from www.boots.com); build up your lashes with Estee Lauder Sumptuous Bold Volume Lifting Mascara (£19.50, www.esteelauder.co.uk), then add Eyelure Girls Aloud False Eyelashes – Kimberley (£5.35 from www.boots.com).
For the perfect pout, keep them smooth with Softlips French Vanilla (£1.87, from www.superdrug.com). Packed with Vitamin E, lips are soft and protected, creating the perfect base for Mac Sheen Supreme Lipstick in New Temptation (£13.50, www.maccosmetics.co.uk).
Keep skin soft and moisturised with Lush Vanilla Dee-lite Body Lotion (£11.75, www.lush.com).
Outfit-wise, Selena rocked in this ASOS Asymmetric Corset Maxi Dress (US?ASOS only), and Giuseppe Zanotti Animal Print Heels. Get the look with Rare’s Mullet Hem Chiffon Bandeau Dress in black (£65, www.rarefashion.co.uk) and Paloma Leopard Heels (£85, Red or Dead at Schuh).
