Inspiration: Brigitte Bardot


Brigitte Bardot was one of the original blonde bombshells, and while her look has been imitated numerous times, no one quite measures up to Ms. B.


I love her dark and dramatic cat eyes, paired with nude lips. There's just a bit of shading to add shape to the cheeks, but this isn't a blushy look. The eyes and lips are the focus!

Always looking sultry with that notoriously big hair!

A slight variation on the same look, just a little less on the eyes. A little more demure.

The infamous "bump."
