Want to get Leighton’s makeup look? Well in a recent interview with In Style, she revealed what she herself uses.
She does however have several fail-safe beauty secrets, which she recently revealed to Instyle US. She told the mag that she keeps things simple: ‘I use a little cheek stain, curl my lashes, and put on some lip balm and sunscreen’.
She favours products which accentuate her natural beauty, including Smith’s Rosebud Salve, which she says is her ‘desert island beauty pick’, and Benefit Benetint for ‘the most natural flush’.
And while she revealed that her favoured way to style her hair when off duty is to let it air-dry, she still likes to give a little extra texture and hold courtesy of Herbal Essences Tousle Me Softly Spray Gel.

This season, the big evening dress trend continues to be the bandage dress. Everyone from Leighton Meester to Kim Kardashian and Heidi Klum are embracing being all wrapped up in dresses that suck you in and make you look super sexy.
I love this Go Jane one because it’s offered in quite a few differenet colors like fuchsia, pewter, purple and turquoise. And the greatest news is that the price is super low for a cocktail dress: $55.99! Sized XXS to XXL! Love it!
The dress is great because almost anyone can wear this style. Curvy, voluptuous women can all fit snuggly with confidence. It’s called the bandage dress because of its many layers of elasticised fabric and it’s woven around like an Ace bandage. You get a sucking in feeling when it fits you right, thighs are smacked together, your back straightens and the bust lifts. Like if Spanx made a sexy dress!
Keep legs bare and self-tanned to add a nice glowy finish. Accessorize with bold jewelry or just sexy strappy sandals with a nice evening clutch.

Fox 2000 and New Regency are finally booking their long-planned trip to Monaco.
Disney Channel star Selena Gomez is set to play one of the three lead roles in Tom Bezucha’s young femme comedy “Monte Carlo,” while a possible deal is in the works for “Gossip Girl’s” Leighton Meester.
Nicole Kidman is producing with Denise Di Novi and Alison Greenspan. Kidman may also play a supporting role.
Bezucha, who directed “The Family Stone” for Fox 2000, is set to begin lensing in May. “Monte Carlo” will be shot in Monaco, Budapest and Paris.
Bezucha co-wrote the original script with Maria Maggenti, adapting a novel about a group of American women who ditch a disappointing no-frills holiday in Paris and pose as wealthy women vacationing in Monaco.
The book, “Headhunters,” was penned by Jules Bass, known for his Rankin/Bass animated specials.
Originally, Kidman was attached to star, but the updated script — co-written by Bezucha and April Blair — has put a younger spin on the story, with two of the characters in college and one just out of high school. Gomez would play the youngest of the three.
Every studio is seeking out younger femme film properties after the boffo success of a string of female-driven films, led by the “Twilight” franchise.
“Monte Carlo” furthers the budding relationship between Fox 2000 and Gomez, who stars in the studio’s upcoming “Ramona and Beezus,” based on the bestselling kids book series by Beverly Cleary.
Fox 2000 is producing with Walden Media. Greenspan and Di Novi are producers.
Gomez has primarily worked in television and is the star of Disney’s hit series “Wizards of Waverly Place.”
Meester has several feature projects in the works, including “The Roommate” and “Love Don’t Let Me Down,” also starring Gwyneth Paltrow. Both films will be released in the U.S. by Screen Gems.
Two leading ladies of the big screen – Amanda Seyfried and Zoe Saldana – and one of the small screen’s fiercest fashionistas, Leighton Meester, top Glamour magazine’s “50 Most Glamorous Women of 2010” list, the mag’s third annual countdown.
The Hollywood lovelies each get their own cover for the magazine’s April issue, where they dish about style and their glam lives – but “Dear John” star Amanda Seyfried said she doesn’t play into the material side of Hollywood.
“Maybe people [in Hollywood] wear really nice clothes, and they drive really nice cars—but that doesn’t make me comfortable. And if I’m not comfortable, it won’t be part of my life,” she told the mag. “A smoky eye and nice hair are not going to make my night any easier… I have to feel good on the inside to look glamorous.”
The actress also revealed that she’s not the most outgoing starlet.
“It’s sad, actually,” she told the mag. “Because my anxiety keeps me from enjoying things as much as I should at this age.”
“Avatar” and “Star Trek” beauty Zoe Saldana, on the other hand, is enjoying her fabulous time in the spotlight.
“I want to have more sex, travel more, drink more wine and love life,” she said. “I love women. I worship women. Don’t want to be any other woman but myself.”
And when it comes to style inspiration, “Gossip Girl’s” Leighton Meester looks to the leading ladies of music – plus her sex life and her BFFs.
“I’m inspired by fashion and sex and my friends,” she explained. “I love strong, awesome, hot women – Debbie Harry, Gwen Stefani, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna.”
As for trading her glam life for the married life, Leighton, who is dating fellow “Gossip Girl” star Sebastian Stan, said she’s not ready to settle down just yet.
“If [marriage] was important to somebody I loved, maybe I’d think about it, but I don’t think that I’m the type. It’s not for me,” she said. “I wouldn’t mind living together. [But] eventually I’ll have to get a separate house for my shoes!”
Glamour readers cast approximately 120,000 votes to create the list, that also includes Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson, Taylor Swift, Blake Lively, Rihanna, Freida Pinto, Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Megan Fox. Glamour’s April issue hits newsstands on March 9.
You may have heard that Hugh Laurie, our favorite jerky TV doctor, is gearing up for a new May-December dramedy called The Oranges. Now he’s got a killer cast along for the ride. The Hollywood Reporter posts that joining Laurie and Leighton Meester in the upcoming flick are Adam Brody, Alia Shawkat, Catherine Keener, and Allison Janney.
Written by Ian Helfer and Jay Reiss (to be directed by Julian Farino of Entourage), the story focuses on an older man (Laurie) who gets romantic with the daughter of a family friend (Meester). Obviously, chasing much younger tail “turns their lives, and the lives of their families, upside down.” Brody is coming on to play Laurie’s son who also has a thing for Meester — until he founds out that Dad has beat him to the punch, Shawkat will play his sister, and Keener their mother (wife or ex-wife of Laurie?). Janney, meanwhile, will play Meester’s mom.
According to the Associated Press Leighton and costar Blake Lively have been added to the list of Emmy presenters for Sunday’s telecast.

The live telecast is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday.
The academy says other presenters include Jon Hamm of “Mad Men” and the “Gossip Girl” twosome of Blake Lively and Leighton Meester.
Also taking the stage to hand out trophies will be Alyson Hannigan and Jason Segel of “How I Met Your Mother,” Stephen Moyer of “True Blood,” NBC late-night host Jimmy Fallon, Dana Delany of “Desperate Housewives” and Chandra Wilson of “Grey’s Anatomy,” the academy said Monday.

#92 Leighton Meester
Miss Meester’s life has all the hallmarks of a classic episode of Jerry Springer:
Mom & Dad in major drugs smuggling ring? Check. Mom gives birth to you whilst in jail? Check. Big brother involved in Army Air Force scandal of 2003? Check.
Texan Leighton has certainly turned her fortunes around – landing herself a lead role in top TV show, Gossip Girl, as the high-class teenage socialite, Blair Waldorf. Add to this a budding music career, with an album set for release this fall and a starring role in the upcoming Steve Carell/Tina Fey movie collaboration, Date Night and there’s no denying, 23 year-old Leighton’s not the black sheep of the family!
