Beauty Icon: Blake Lively

Here at Alison Jade, we cannot get enough of Blake Lively as she steps out to promote her new film, The Shallows, which was filmed in Australia late last year.

Blake epitomises laid back, Californian attitude style and we love her effortless beauty looks - but what we love more is how easy they are to recreate!

Whether rocking the red carpet, making the talk show rounds or stepping out in casual street style, Blake's signature is to keep her makeup simple, centred around fresh, dewy skin, a hint of rosy blush and lashings of mascara with the occasional pop of colour with a bright lip.

Here are three of our favourite beauty looks from Blake and the Alison Jade products you'll need to get the look at home!

1. Take cues from Blake with this gorgeous natural look, perfect for every day wear. Start by priming your skin with the Pore Perfecting Face Primer, followed by your favourite foundation - we love the Alison Jade BB Cream, perfect for daytime with its SPF25. Follow this with a coat of our Luxury Mascara and a subtle lip colour such as Xtreme Lipstick in Shrimp or Glossware Lipgloss in Huetopia.

2. Adding some oomph with a smokey eye, get Blake's sultry red carpet look with the Alison Jade Eyeshadow Palette in Film Noir and several coats of Luxury Mascara. Create a dusty glow with Baked Blush in Posey and keep focus on your eyes with a subtle pink lip colour.

3. Channel old Hollywood glam with a smooth foundation base, Superwear Crème Eye Shadow on the lids and inner corners of the eyes, two coats of HD Mascara, a subtle dusting of Baked Blush such as Bouquet to suit your skin tone and the Alison Jade Xtreme Lipstick in Iconic or Vino Noir.
