Get the Look: Selena Gomez at the 2011 VMAs

Selena Gomez looked great and decidedly grown up at the 2011 VMAs.  I love her sultry and neutral makeup palette, hair swept back and gothic feel dress.

Want Selena Gomez’s makeup look?  Check out the tips below:

1. Start with a clean, fresh face.  Cover up any blemishes with concealer and lightly apply an illuminating foundation.  You can make your own by mixing a shimmer product (like Benefit High Beam) with your favorite foundation.
2. Fill in brows with your favorite brow pencil or powder
3. Apply your eyelid primer (Urban Decay Primer Potion, or my new favorite, LORAC Behind the Scenes Eye Primer) and sweep on some muted brown shades.  I like NYX Nude/Taupe/Dark Brown Eyeshadow trio.  You can also use a shimmery champagne color (like NYX Ultimate Pearl Eye Shadow in Sahara Pearl) to highlight your lids.
4. Follow with your favorite black liquid liner and heavy black mascara.  Don’t forget to line under your waterline (or get close to it) with a regular black eye pencil.
5. Next, finish the look with a soft peach blush and a glossy peach lip.  Benefit Cosmetics Ultra Shines in Spiked Punch does the trick nicely.

What do you think of Selena’s VMA look?  Would you rock it?
