She shared with Byrdie that, like her onscreen counterpart, she favors Clinique mascaras: "For eyes, I love to wear this Clinique mascara because I really like a thin, precise brush.

Blake Lively
On days off, Blake Lively likes to keep things au naturale. One of her tips for keeping her look simple? She uses a light lipstick as a multi-use face product. As she explained to Vogue, "I'll blot on my cheeks and eyelids. I learned that from a make-up artist years ago — you take blush and put it on your cheeks, on the tip of your nose and wherever your parting is, as that's where you get the most sun. That way it never looks like blush, it looks like the warmth showing up on your skin, asymmetrically. Not like make up."
