Kirsten Dunst, Marie Antoinette, Vogue

ok I have been in love with this movie since it was launched into the world of cinema ,written and directed by Sophia Coppola,of course visually stunning,shot mostly in Versailles,which believe me is magical and just breathtaking in itself. I went there with my daughter two years ago and we rode our bicycles around the estate and I just nearly cried when we sat at the bottom of the beautiful lakes looking up at Versailles ,it was heavenly!!
I loved the movie and love this shoot for Vogue by the magnificent Annie Leibovitz,what glorious gowns and how fab would it be to still have a reason to dress like this.
I do however think that the simple and almost minimalist make-up that was worn in these times and translated by the talented and famous Stephane Marais,so well executed,and looks so beautiful it made me wander why can't we infact look like this now,really it is just a perfect skin ,a gorgeous cheek stain and A lip stain to acheive what I think is pretty and feminine ,and again similar to out 'summer lip' but just a bit extra,adding a cheek and really more of a stain on the lip .

let's talk about products,I love love love Nars newly renovated foundations ,'sheer glow' and if you were pale skinned ,then you will just love 'Siberia' but really for this Marie Antoinette look ,we have to be less dewy and more matt,which is always harder in the summer months,so I suggest a foundation powder,such as ID Bare Minerals,which gives a light coverage and is more matt,or Nars also do a great foundation to powder

so there's the skin,and really just a light coating of mascara,and now to the cheek,of course you just want to hit the apple of the cheek so make sure you are smiling on the inside and out,while applying,I would say try Benefit rose color stain,'benetint' it is a lip and cheek stain ,

and is perfect for both,it may feel a little dry on the lips,so if you feel like you need more moisture you can add a little lip balm over the top,such as rosebud salve,available at Ricky's,it is possibly our insider industry favourite lip balm!!

alternatively go for a pinky lip stick,such as 'lustre' by Mac,it has a vintage feel about the colour and is perfect to achieve a modern version of this look!!
