Blake Lively’s makeup artist on her beauty evolution

Blake Lively turned 31 this week! And to celebrate we’re taking a look back at her beauty evolution.

Blake Lively was thrown into the spotlight at just 17-years-old because of her role in The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants. And thanks to six years as the lead on Gossip Girl, a string of blockbuster movies, and her marriage to Ryan Reynolds, Blake has become a permanent fixture in the spotlight. And after all those years of appearances and red carpets, we have rarely seen her put a foot wrong…

Kristofer Buckle is Blake’s longtime makeup artist and if you don’t know him, you should. (He has worked with everyone from Liza Minnelli, to Cher, Jennifer Lopez and the Kardashians.) In particular though, he has worked with Blake since her very first magazine cover.He recently opened up to Refinery29 about their working relationship and how Blake’s makeup tastes have changed over the years.

“I met Blake very early in her career, way back before The Traveling Pants series. I was doing her makeup for her first magazine cover, for CosmoGirl,” Kristofer told Refinery29. “I remember she was so nervous, and she said to me: ‘I don’t know what to do out there, I’m not a model!’ So, I told her to look at me while she was shooting, and I stood behind the photographer, working model-like poses, and she just copied me. We bonded over that moment, and we’ve worked together since. It’s been one of my favourite client relationships, because I’ve watched Blake grow over the past decade. And as some young celebrities change and transform not always for the best, Blake has maintained every bit of her personality. She’s the same girl I met all those years ago. Her essence, her generosity, her levity, it’s all the same. She’s just this kind, conscientious person through and through — but her makeup leanings have changed a bit.”

Back in the day, it was all about the black mascara for Blake! “If you’re in this industry as long as Blake has, you can’t wear your makeup the same at every appearance. I keep the shapes that work for her, but adjust the textures so the look reads modern. For example, we’ve always worked to play up Blake’s lashes. In the past, we’ve done that by piling on lots of black mascara,” says Kristofer.

2008

“When Blake was new in the business, she was so excited about the exploration of makeup. She wanted all the bells and whistles — lashes, contour, an overdrawn lip — so we look back and laugh at those early Gossip Girl posters because she looked very done,” Kristofer said to Refinery29.

2012

“Now, we want to take the same approach to emphasize her eyes, but we do it by contrasting the lashes with an iridescent shadow, because that’s more modern. We will also use brown mascara as opposed to black, she just prefers a softer lash now. Those tiny, micro-adjustments keep the look current and evolving,” says Kristofer.

2014

“Blake’s gorgeous, and doesn’t need a lot of makeup. It’s not just her face that’s stunning, Blake just really radiates beauty in a visceral way — she’s sunshine,” Kristofer says.

2018

At this year’s Met Gala, Blake wore a full face of drugstore makeup! As Kristofer says, “…she’s not sensitive about what I put on her face. It could be $2 or $100.”

These days, Blake tends to keeps things pretty simple. Kristofer uses his own makeup line (which sadly isn’t available in Australia) but he has outlined the basic process. He starts by using a foundation stick and a warming powder to bring out her bone structure before lightly contouring her cheekbones, the sides of her forehead and her nose. Next, he uses a brow pomade to fill in her brows and highlights her nose and cheekbones. Then he plays around with a lot of different eyeshadows and lip colours because let’s be real – what can’t Blake pull off?!

  3. Testimony By Debra Tonny. How to get your ex back fast! I was hurt and heart broken when a very big problem occurred in my marriage seven months ago, between me and my husband . so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce. he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore. So he packed out of the house and made me and my children pass through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back, after much begging, but all to no avail. and he confirmed it that he has made his decision, and he never wanted to see me again. So one evening, as I was coming back from work, I met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So I explained everything to him, so he told me that the only way I can get my husband back, is to visit a priest, because it has really worked for him too. So I never believed in spells, but I had no other choice, than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the Email address of the priest whom he visited. awesomespelltemple@gmail.com. So the next morning, I sent a mail to the address he gave to me, and the priest assured me that I will get my husband back the next day. What an amazing statement!! I never believed, so he spoke with me, and told me everything that I needed to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past 7 months, gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back. So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day, with lots of love and joy, and he apologized for his mistake, and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day, our relationship was now stronger than how it was before, by the help of a priest. So, i will advise you out there if you have any problem contact DR.DAVID, i give you 100% guarantee that he will help you..

  4. URGENT EFFECTIVE LOVE SPELL TO GET YOUR EX  BACK FAST AND TO SAVE YOUR MARRIAGE NOW CONTACT DR.DAVID ON  WHATSAPP  DIRECTLY +2347040654140 .

     My name is MICHEAL RACHEL. When I read a testimony online on how DR DAVID the great and most powerful spell caster helped to bring back Divorce husband or wife EX LOVER. I was wondering how this can be true, Because many have failed me in the past without any result from them. I just let the post pass by and move on to the forum. To my notice under again, Some person posted and said tested and trusted spell caster. After reading through the mail it was this same man DR DAVID she was talking about. So I have no other option than to really check up how he works. I was totally devastated when my beloved husband left me. It was like my entire world vanishing into sorrow and pain. I know it sounds weird but out of all the spell casters I contacted, he was the only one to give me that impression of being so true and trustful. More than his words, He brought my husband back and he made all my wishes come true. He is now loyal, pays attention to me, he offers me flowers every Sunday, and we often go out at the cinema and the restaurant. My husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. I will be forever thankful for turning my life from hell to heaven! I believe those who need help should get to him for help. May God continue to use you to save broken relationships. To every one with marital problems, divorce issues, lost lovers or any relationship related issues, you can contact DR DAVID and wonder about the ultimate spell caster. contact him on his Email Address @ awesomespelltemple@gmail.com   His Website:: http://awesomespelltemplem.website2.me his WhatsApp +2347040654140 https://www.facebook.com/Awesomelovepelltemple
