Blake Lively's Natural Makeup Look Wows at the Christian Dior Fashion Show

Life sure has changed for Blake Lively who, before jumping in to Serena van der Woodsen's Manolos on the hit show "Gossip Girl" four years ago, was best known for her star-turn in "The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants." These days, Lively and her signature fresh-faced makeup look, are hob nobbing it in Paris where, over the weekend she attended the Christian Dior Fall/Winter couture show seated next to none other than famed fashion icon and Vogue magazine editrix, Anna Wintour -- not an easy seat to come by but which may have been facilitated by the fact that Lively was the magazine's June cover girl.

Lively, who's in the City of Lights shooting season 4 of "Gossip Girl," was in good company at the show, which attracted other stars like Jessica Alba and English model Lily Cole. The spectacle and the new line emphasized flowers and floral patterns, was a nod by John Galliano to Christian Dior's childhood home, Les Rhumbs, in Normandy. 'I'm having a floral moment,' explained Galliano, who donned an over the top straw boater hat for the occasion.

Wearing a simple white Dior dress with Christian Louboutin sandals, Lively, who's quickly becoming the Carrie Bradshaw of the next generation, was true to her simple, less-is-more makeup -- a healthy, glowy complexion, subtle eye and lip and she's picture perfect.

Of course, in getting that dewy look, it doesn't hurt that, at 23 she has amazing skin with nary a wrinkle or an age spot, but even those of us who are longer in the tooth can fake the look. The most important thing to have is a clean and clear canvas to work from and that requires getting your complexion in tip-top shape and banishing acne breakouts once and for all.

For her part, Lively, who's from Tarzana, California has said she's a fan of both Stila's eyeshadow (in Oasis) and Chanel Glossimer lipgloss in (Glow) but the one thing the starlet has that's impossible to bottle, is an inner shine, a sense of security in who she is and comfort with what she has. We could all use a does (or two) of that.
