Leighton Meester: Gilded Lady

Well, I’m back from Pah-ree and seriously cannot WAIT to share all of my Parisian adventures, I have SO MANY major new discoveries! What is it about Paris, no matter how many times I visit, it just continues to unravel before me? Anyway, it’s WAY to much amazing stuff for one post so I am planning on breaking up all the Frenchie goodness into a few segments so as not to overwhelm anyone with my enthusiasm. I mean, the food alone deserves it’s own novel!

The City of Light feeds my artist’s soul like no other city on Earth, and I must say this trip was beyond inspirational. A major highlight was attending Chanel’s incredible haute couture show at the Grand Palais which was just exquisitely beautiful…

…as was Ms. Leighton Meester—who’s make up I did that evening.

Leighton couldn’t be more stylish and that face, what a beauty! I used a mix of cool and warm metallics shades on her eyes from Chanel’s awesome new eyeshadow quad “Enigma” coming out in the Fall.

On hers lips I dabbed a warm nude called Sweet Honey by Yves Saint Laurent. No cheek color, just a tiny bit of sculpting under the cheekbones with my favorite new Nars bronzer “irresistiblement.”

Leighton is so uber chic, I can’t wait to work with her again. Watch the whole Chanel show here.
