Party girl style
All dressed up and you have everywhere to go. These classic merrymakers set the bar for every party. What makes them stand out? They start by having a look that’s all their own. Find some inspiration from them for the coming cocktail season and stand out all on your own.
Mary Kate Olsen
They may love or hate her but there’s no denying that she definitely stands out in a vanilla, over-styled Hollywood crowd.
Get it: Her long locks have a cool, beachy look. I personally love this style and I usually just spray mineral water mixed with rock salt onto my damp hair and let it dry naturally. It’s a miracle trick for limp hair. For skin, glowing skin all about the base. Chanel’s Teint Innocence in your skin shade gives a dewy glow that doesn’t look too made up. Then a light hand is needed to apply some kohl eyeliner, try Chanel Le Crayon Kohl in a dark shade that’s not necessarily black. Finish off with a pat of Chanel Aqualumiere gloss in Bon Bon.
CZ Guest
The ultimate hostess and the chicest green thumb in history is still the bastion of proper society glam. Although she did have her moments, such as posing nude for artist Diego Rivera before she got married. Now that’s what you call a bachelorette moment.
Get it: CZ is known for her great head of gleaming locks and defined red lip. For hair use a volumizing mousse such as L’Oreal’s Hot Volume and dry hair with a big round brush for tucking hair in. Then use a flat iron to twirl strands of hair in front and seal with a light glossing spray such as L’Oreal’s Elvive Light Reflecting Serum.
Edie Sedgwick
The legendary gamine of the ‘60s who was a perfect mix of upper-crust provenance and downtown drama, her winged eyeliner and pancake makeup gave her a persona like no other.
Get it: Swipe on a deep shadow all over lid to give it that sooty look. A nice aubergine is ideal for this: try NARS eyeshadow in Belly Dance. Then prepare to line eyes with a thick wing swipe: MAC black liquid eyeliner provides this effect. I won’t suggest pancake makeup unless it’s Halloween, but do keep lips sweet with some balm.
Nicole Richie
She kicked the sidekick role of being Paris Hilton’s BFF, and became the boho champ of the fashion world. Her bad-girl-gone-good switch is seen in her healthy flush.
Get it: Perhaps the best self tanner in the market, Clinique’s Self-Sun range gives a golden tan with zero orange tint. Finish off the look with Clinique’s True Bronze powder, to gently contour face and add a light flush.
Gloria Vanderbilt
She’s no poor little rich girl. She created a denim brand, which became a worldwide phenomenon, plus she penned bestseller after bestseller and gave birth to Anderson Cooper. Her unique beauty caught the eyes of tastemakers such as Avedon and Scavullo.
Get it: Her pouty lips are highlighted with a rich coral color that became her signature shade. Try Max Factor Color Perfection in Citrine. Brows also frame her elegant face; try Max Factor Eyebrow pencil which comes with a brush for easy grooming.
