Get the look: darlings of Down Under - page 2

It’s Australia Day week and what better way to celebrate than with a day off work and some make-up looks to master from our very own home-grown beauties? And don’t worry ladies, there’s one in here to keep your boys busy too so they won’t feel left out – now that’s what I call good Aussie spirit!

Pout that pops with Cate Blanchett
Make-up: Achieve Cate’s constantly radiant complexion by mixing in some Clinique Up-Lighting Liquid Illuminator with your foundation before smoothing it on (don’t forget to blend down your neck to avoid ‘pancake’ face!). Next, line your pout with Nutrimetics nc Perfecting Lip Pencil in Cranberry, softly blending it into your lips so it’s not too harsh, before slicking on a matching red lipstick. To ensure your pout remains the focus of your face, opt for mascara-only eyes and a light peachy-pink blush such as Bourjois Noveaux Blush in Lilas D’or.
Hair: Copy Cate’s subtly sexy up ‘do by curling random pieces of your hair with the VS Sassoon Ceramic Instant Heat Tong – 19mm. You can then opt for a roughly formed side or middle part (whichever suits you best) before loosely pinning your hair into a bun at the nape of your neck. Give your head a quick shake to allow some soft tendrils to fall out and finish with a misting of L’Oreal Professionel Elnett Satin Hairspray.

I don't think she has pulled off the red lipstick here - her lips look huge!!!

The pout is certainly a stand out feature here.

I can't put my finger on it but something looks out of place, her hair looks dishevelled to me, her make up looks great but perhaps the jacket is putting me off.

Yes definitely the jacket - looks too harsh for her pretty hair and make-up look!

She always looks so pretty with that gorgeous skin and beautiful eyes. I like this look on her, kind of sexy corporate.

The red lipstick is a bit too much for my liking. But I agree with Stay C on the sexy corporate.

Love the hair in this pic, but although I am hugely a HUGE fan of Cate's looks, her makeup just looks a bit off to me. Maybe it was because the photo was taken outside?

I love her so much, I am a huge fan of how she always accepts her white skin and aussieness

Cate would look good wearing a potato sack, one lady that is 'real' and yet always so elegant :)

I agree with others that this isn't the best shot of Cate. Perhaps it is the red lipstick, or it could be that she has lost weight and her face looks too hollow for her dominant features?

Not crazy about the jacket, but Cate always looks so fresh and radiant

to me she doesn't look her best here, the red lipstick is maybe too bright, and the shoulder pads in the jacket take me back to an era i'd rather not think about.

The makeup is nice, but there's something weird about her mid-face...

I don't think the red lipstick looks that nice on Cate but she is still a classy gal.
