Blake Lively

Blake Lively

She's fast becoming a style icon in her own right, and her flawless beauty look on the hit TV show Gossip Girl has earned her the title of beauty icon too.

Her look is always effortlessly relaxed and not too made-up, which is refreshing seeing as most celebs seem to pile on the slap today and end up looking like a rejected drag queen.

That may sound a little harsh, but beauty is going back to basics for the spring and Blake is right at the forefront of this, with her flawless skin and minimal make-up look.

Granted she's only 21, so no wrinkles, frown lines or puffy eyes are yet to make an appearance, but with such a demanding filming schedule and numerous personal appearances, she needs to look after her skin.

Living in New York while she's filming Gossip Girl, she has a nice pale glow during the winter months and then a tan to be proud of, when the temps hit a scorching high in the summer.

So right now as snow falls in Manhattan, she's rocking the pale look to perfection, shunning fake tan and going au natural, so to speak. If you fancy giving Blake's beauty look a go, here's how to do it...

Firstly start off with a a nice lightweight foundation that won't weight your skin down too much, or make you look like you're caked in the stuff. Try Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation, which can conceal imperfections in a flash. (£25.45)

Blake doesn't really look like she wears much eye shadow, so to give it a modern twist, slick a clear gloss over the eyelids, before coating your lashes in a few coats of brown mascara. (Collection 2000, £2.99)

Finally, to create Blake's barely there lip tint, simply choose a gloss which has a tint to it, rather than a full on lipstick. The same goes with the cheeks, a light dusting of a rosy blush is all that's needed. (Revlon Floral Affair, £4.89)
