She’s the girl everyone loves to hate and while I’m not exactly a Kristen Cavallari fan, (I’m an LC supporter from waaaaaay back) there’s no denying the newly unemployed Miss C was looking gorgeous, glam and glowy at MTV’s live screening of The Hills finale. Keeping her makeup natural with an understated gold eye and pale lip combo, the makeup matched her dress to perfection. Way to go out with a bang, K.

Grab a gold frock and follow this step-by-step guide to steal her look:

Step 1: Prep your skin by using a mild exfoliant like Palmer’s Gentle Exfoliating Scrub, $9.99. Follow this with a hydrating moisturiser like Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Intensive Moisturiser for Face SPF15, $55.00 to get your skin foundation ready.

Step 2: Using a brush, evenly work your base from the centre of your face outwards making sure you blend evenly, tide marks are not okay, Primpers! Product pick: Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation SPF 15, $75.00.

Step 3: Next, apply a gold shadow to the lid and blend up to the brow bone for popping peepers. Our fave? Revlon Luxurious Color Eye Shadow in Sparkling Gold, $19.95. Give your eyes some contrast by smudging a bronze or mocha eyeliner like MAC Eye Kohl in Powersurge, $32.00 across the top and lower lash line, working into the crease for extra definition.

Step 4: Curl your lashes, then fatten them up with a thickening black mascara like Max Factor 2000 Calorie Mascara, $20.95.

Step 5: Remember you’re going for that L.A. beach babe look, so dust a bronzing powder like L’Oreal Paris Glam Bronze Compact Bronzing Powder, $28.45 across your cheekbones, forehead and chin. Make sure you cover your neck and décolletage for an even smattering of colour - no patchiness here Primpers.

Step 6: Using your fingers, dab a crème blush onto your cheekbones and blend towards your temples for a dewy glow. Try Becca Crème Blush, $48.00.

Step 7: Swipe on a melon or pale pink lip gloss like Covergirl Wetslicks Fruit Spritzers, $10.25 to perfect your pout. Now you’re red carpet ready, love it.
