How to Look Like a Bond Girl

Do you want to look like a sex siren from a James Bond movie? Here are a few tips for making it happen.

 

To look like Naomie Harris in Skyfall make sure you keep your make-up in the nude range but your clothing bright and spectacular.  Wear only shimmering bronzer, nude eyeliner and a slick nude gloss. This is the classy Bond Girl who wears a lot of red. One of her signature looks in the film was a loose red shirt, slim pencil skirt in red and a tan belt and shoes.

 

One trademark shared by all of the Bond girls is super shiny hair. One of the best ways to get this is to use a hair dryer with positive ions in your beauty routine. It is also a good idea to use a hair oil after you wash your hair to make it gleam. Make sure you massage the ends so that every single shaft of your  hair lies correctly, reflects the light and looks shiny.  The Bond Girl that did this one right was Berenice Marlohe – the Bond girl with the long gleaming black locks.

 

Halle Barry as Jinx Johnson was another famous Bond Girl. She was the Bond Girl who was not afraid to use a bit of hair gel to create a unique look. Her character was also not afraid to dress in unique colors. Remember that orange retro bikini she wore?  It made her stand out from the rest of the women on the beach like an exotic bird!  Do not be afraid to add a little color into your life in this way. Wear a startling color.

 

You can take a make up tip from Bond Girl Vespa Lynd. She was the perfect underplayed vamp. She had dark eye make up that was very thin but big lips rouged in with dark red lipstick.  Gleaming locks, protected with oils and shine enhancers are part of her beauty regime as well.

 

Another femme fatale was Famke in Goldeneye where she played the character of Xenia Onatopp. Smudge eyeliner, dark red nails and nails and coiffed hair made her look fantastic. She is one of the few Bond girls who could real rock a leather jacket.

 

One of the most attractive of the retro-look Bond girls was Gemma Arterton in Quantum Solace. The character of Mrs. Fields had a unique look. Big necklaces, shift dresses and nude lips teamed up with cat eye style eyeliner to create a vintage femme fatale.

Eyeliner Colors Trending

Black eyeliner never goes out of style but there are many other hues of eyeliner that are going to be very popular for winter.  One trend is a purple, especially a bright reddish/blue purple that is very vivid.  Purple is a color that you are going to see trending in all areas of fashion over the next few months.

 

Yet another trending color is teal.  You can use teal alone but the most effective look is a very thin line of black eyeliner that is then coated on top with a thin layer of teal and another thin layer of etalon the bottom eyeliner.  Teal eyeliner on the top lash also looks great with yellow eyeshadow.

 

A wild vivid color that is being seen everywhere is a bright canary yellow. Usually this color is worn only on the top lash line with very lushly colored thick brown or black mascara.

 

Gold eyeliner has been haute for a few years.  It looks best naked applied on both the upper and the lower lashes.  It has the effect of really opening up the eyes and it goes great with any eye color.  However it can really make beautiful brown eyes stand out even more.

 

Silver eyeliner is also in style still for this season. It looks best on most people as a second silver eyeliner on top of the black.  It looks amazing with a mint green or teal eyeliner too.  For a look that is complimentary for ski bunnies try layering the silver eyeliner with a powder blue color.

 

All green eyeliners are in style right now too. Mint greens give you more of a mod sixties look and look nice combined with black.  Bright frog greens are in style and have a look very reminiscent of the eighties.  Shiny deep forest shades are also in style and really give blue eyes a pop.  Dark green makes dark eyes look more mysterious and lighter shaded eyes seem like they have a violet hue.

 

If you tend to look tired all of the time then exploit the trend towards wearing powder blue eyeliner.  The cool tones in blue eyeliner can have the effect of making your eyes look whiter.  For a different, smokey look for your eyes layer the blue over black eyeliner.

 

If you want to be super trendy then layer bright pink eyeliner with a mint green or very light blue liner.  Bright pink also looks fantastic layered with gold and silver or black layers as well.
