Daria Strokous

Daria Strokous is currently ranked #19 on Models.com's Top 50 list. This Russian beauty will be turning 21 in 2011.

Daria signed with IMG in 2007 where in September of that year, she debuted in the spring Prada and Marni shows in Milan. Since then, she has also appeared walking the runway for Givenchy, Elie Saab, Valentino, Oscar de la Renta and Christian Dior. She is now signed with Women.

According to NYMag, Daria is known for her amazing slate blue, grey eyes and her legs.

So where else may you have seen her? She was just in an Allure magazine editorial in February 2011. She was also on the cover of Elle France in May 2011, and in advertisements of  Juicy Couture's S/S 2011. She has also been one of the faces for Dolce & Gabbana, Jill Sander, and Prada.

How you can achieve her style:

In this advertisement for Addiction by Ayako, Daria showcases her bright eyes with a purple shadow on top and a blue on the bottom along with contoured and blushing cheeks with nude lips. To get her look:

  • Evenly apply foundation to your face.
  • Using a bronzer, contour under your cheek bones to achieve a thinner face. Then, apply a light pink or peach blush to your cheek bones.
  • Taking a white eyeshadow or highlighter, highlight the bridge of your nose, and right above your cheekbones for a glowing, dewy effect like Daria has.
  • For the eyes, take a dark lavender or any purple color and apply it to your lid.
  • Then, take a taupe or brown color and apply it to your brow bone and crease. This will help intensify the purple.
  • Then, take a blue eyeshadow and apply under your lower lashes. Don't make it too thick - you don't want to look like a clown!
  • Line your lower water line with a thin application of black eyeliner.
  • Finish the eyes off with mascara. Be sure to go slow - her lashes look very natural; unclumped and lengthy with the right amount of thickness.
  • To get those lips, get a nude lipstick. You could also use foundation or concealer if your lipstick isn't on hand or you just don't have any. Just apply some to your fingers and blot it evenly on your lips until you reach a desired shade.
  • After applying your lipstick or foundation/concealer, apply a nude or clear gloss.
