32 best makeup looks for blonde hair - as inspired by our favourite celebrities

When it comes to makeup, we believe that individual expression is key and beauty advice shouldn't be too prescriptive, however, there are some makeup looks for blondes that just work - as our favourite celebrities demonstrate. 

A good place to start is with the lip colour and build the makeup look around that, so reach for a long-lasting lipstick in a flattering tone. A natural nude will work well with smokey or defined eyes, but you might want to keep the base and eyes simple if opting for a bold or deep lip shade. True reds, orangy reds and blue-toned reds all work well on blondes in terms of lip colours, and for those going for a more natural look, a slick of mascara is all you need. "I always look at blonde movie stars from the 1920s, 30s and 40s, when we saw the gorgeous brow and then the winged liner and the classic red lip, which still work well today," Angie Parker, international MUA and founder of Shop Parker told us. 

We've looked into the beauty archives of our favourite blonde celebrities to seek out their most inspiring beauty looks - which anyone with blonde hair can try. From Cate Blanchett's fresh peach tones to Sharon Stone's classic red lip, here are some timeless makeup looks for blonde hair.
