The newest issue of
W Magazine features a bodacious sixties inspired
Kristen Stewart. One who is mostly seen in cool - tough girl - chic, she oozed vintage sex kitten with voluminous locks and cat-styled eyes. Her look is classic, sexy and almost effortless - like she's been doing it for years!
Pale pouty lips, heavy winged eyeliner, massive hair and if you really want to go all the way, a very fitting ensemble with killer heels; the Bombshell Look can seem very extreme to the modern busy girl (with the usual powder, mascara, gloss and you're-out-the-door routine), its a look that takes time and perfection. With the recent berry- stained lips, nude eyes, glowy skin, no-makeup-makeup trends, it's as if we've forgotten what makeup was made for; to accentuate our features and turn us into gorgeous sex kittens! Fall is the perfect time to experiment with this look because your makeup won't melt off and your hair won't fall down. Pair this with a tight schoolgirl cardigan, a pencil skirt and some heels, or wear it casual with some capri pants, a flattering but simple top, and flats. . .
Here's an easy way to get The Bombshell Look in under 10 minutes, along with the "Super Bombshell" way to do it:
1: Bombshell Hair
Quick Way: The great thing about Bombshell hair is that the messier it is, the better; like you've been rolling around in sheets all night! So if your hair isn't too bad in the morning, brush it out with your fingers so not to create frizz,then turn your head upside down and use a brush brushing downwards. This creates volume from underneath, and doesn't mess with the natural bedroom effect. Spritz with a light hairspray and your hair is done!
Super Bombshell Way: If you can remember, put your hair into a loose bun before you go to bed; make your hair into a pony tail, then take the pony tail and twist it until it coils itself into a bun. Unravel it in the morning and you should have soft loose waves. Don't brush them out (unless need be), use a larger barreled curling iron to go over the waves very gently making sure they don't get too 'perfect.' Shake your head a couple times to create volume and spritz with hairspray.
2. Foundation
Quick Way: Use a creamy foundation that matches your natural skin tone. Dust on loose translucent powder with a big brush in circular motions to create a flawless airbrushed look. Brush on a rosy blush into the apples and high points of your cheeks.
Super Bombshell Way: Use a primer to make your makeup look extra flawless. Use a creamy foundation and dust on powder afterwards. Use a angled contouring brush and a pinky brownish blush to create defined cheekbones.
3: Eyes

Quick Way: Use a liquid eyeliner (the ones with a felt tip seem to be less messy and more precise), to draw semi thick line from the inner corners of your eye to the the very end of the lash line drawing up and out, creating a wing. Let it dry for a second. Curl your lashes (make sure they don't smudge your liner!), and finish off with curling mascara.
The Super Bombshell Way: Use a sheer pinky nude eyeshadow to fill in from your lash line to your just before your brow. Use a highlighting eyeshadow to accentuate the brow bone, this will define your eyebrows. Draw on your eyeliner just like its done above, let it dry, then go back over it with eye pencil. fill in your brows in any sparse places over accentuating the arch. Curl your lashes and then add individual lashes to the ends of your lash line so that they wing out. Finish off with curling mascara and line the inner line of your bottom lashes with black eye pencil.
4: The Pout
The Quick Way: Powder your lips with translucent power (this will help keep the pouty look all day), use a lip liner closest to your natural lip color. Finish off with a frosty gold or pink gloss.

The Super Bombshell Way: Dust lips with translucent powder and line with a nude colored pencil. Use a matte beige lipstick and pat a couple layers onto lips. Blend the liner so that there are no hard edges. Go over your lips with a sheer balm. This is not supposed to be overly glossy, so balm works best.
