Barbara Palvin

One of Barbara's Teen Vogue's
Style Rookie pages from March 2011
Barbara Palvin is currently ranked in the Top 50 Women models as #48 (as of May 16, 2011).  I was absolutely shocked to see that this absolutely stunning and gorgeous girl was 2 years younger than me - that's right, she'll be 18 this year.

Barbara was signed in 2009 with IMG Models, and for you fashion lovers out there who aren't so savvy with agencies, IMG Modeling Agency is the new prized contract for the winners of America's Next Top Model.

Barbara was born in Hungary and is known for her eyes and her pout, according to NYMag.

Where may you have seen Barbara? Well, she recently did an editorial in Teen Vogue in March 2011 to kick off some spring trends. She was also just in British Vogue in April 2011 in their Smash Hits editorial, showing off some chic rocker-punk style. She has also walked the runway and done advertisements for Chanel, along with magazine editorials for Vogue Russia, Vogue Paris, Muse Magazine, and Harper's Bazaar - just to name a few.


How you can achieve her style:
In the picture to the right, for Love Magazine's Lipgloss and Cigarettes editorial, Barbara shows off her impeccable pout with some luscious, red lips and naked eyes. To get her look:

  • Apply foundation lightly and evenly and make it matte with a translucent powder. 
  • Be sure to have bold brows, so fill them in with a pencil, or even an eyeshadow, to make them stand out. 
  • For the eyes, skip the eyeshadow and thick liner and go right to the lashes. Get some false lashes and apply them to the outer corners of your eyes for a doe-eyed look. 
  • And, to top it all off with the red lips, carefully line your lips with a red lipliner similar in color to the lipstick you'll be using. 
  • After lining, it's good to fill in your lips with the liner as a base, then apply your lipstick. 
  • After applying your lipstick evenly, blot it with a tissue a couple of times to help stain your lips. Be sure to not make the lipstick too thick and "grandma-like."
  • After one last coat of red lipstick, apply a red or clear gloss on top to really make your lips pop.
