Taylor Momsen Makeup

How to do your makeup like Taylor Momsen

Taylor Momsen is proof that a little edge goes a long way to create a signature look. The Gossip Girl star morphed from girl next door to rocker chick with a change of (tousled) hair and (brazen) makeup. Try on Taylor Momsen makeup in our virtual makeup studio.

Taylor’s Smoky Eye Makeup

Experiment with navy blue or plum mascara to make the whites of your eyes appear brighter and to break away from mainstream noir. Key to Taylor Momsen’s rock and roll appeal is smudged eyeliner with a slept-in effect. Do your smoky eye as usual and smudge it out with your finger. Create a hooded bedroom eye with copious amounts of liquid liner and full strips of false lashes, which will weigh down the lids slightly.

Taylor’s Foundation

Get even all over with a little help from a pressed powder foundation, the perfect antidote for an oily complexion. Skip the blush.

Taylor's Lipstick

Bubblegum brights and brick reds make a statement before you ever utter a word. Make brazen makeup colors more wearable by blending them out on the back of your hand before applying them to your face. This goes for both lipstick and eye shadow.

Taylor’s Hairstyle

Give your hair a piecey, Momsen-inspired effect by applying texturizing cream when wet. Create an “undone” part with your fingertips and take a wide barrel curling iron to the ends for special occasions. Highlights that begin a few inches from the roots will lend your look an artistic vibe. The easiest way to achieve messy-chic bed head is to go to sleep with wet hair. Once it’s dry, back-comb the hair at the crown. --Stephanie Simons
