Get the Look | Lana Del Rey


Rolling Stone July 2014 - Lana Del Rey photographed by Theo Wenner


A few days I ago I saw that my July issue of Rolling Stone magazine came in, and on the cover was the gorgeous and amazing Lana Del Rey.  If you haven't listened to her music, I highly recommend that you do!  Aside from the cat she's cuddling in the photo, there were two things that stuck out to me - her long, pastel colored nails and her red lip.  The rest of the cover photo is very minimalistic and natural, and I thought those pops of color looked perfect together!  Of course, the cover inspired me to look at what nail and lip products I already have to recreate her look.

Nails

I read in another blog that she was wearing 'Bikini So Teeny' by Essie, which made me happy because I actually have that color in my nail polish collection.  As I painted my nails, I noticed that Lana's nails looked lighter than mine.  That may be due to the lighting and editing of the photo, but either way, both colors are very pretty.  I have to be honest though...the consistency of this polish is not my fave.  It's a little watery, and it can start looking streaky unless you glob it on.  I have on two coats.



Lips

There are tons and tons of red lipsticks out there, and I'm assuming she has on a couple high end products.  I only have a few red lipsticks, but there was one that I have that stood out to me to look the closest to what Lana is wearing.  I picked out the Rimmel Kate lipstick in 111 'Kiss of Life.'  This is a blue based red and it's matte, so it matches perfectly with what Lana is wearing.  This is a great lipstick.  It has great lasting power and it doesn't dry out my lips.



The rest of her look is pretty simple.  Fill in those brows, apply a dark shadow to your lower lash line, pop on some falsies, and you're good to go!
