“I’m not trying to reshape their faces.

The originalGossip Girlpredates the splendor ofInstagram beauty trends.

She tends to play off of what the costume and hair departments pick.

“It’s a weird beauty calculation I do,” she says.

“I don’t want the makeup to compete with the hair and clothing.

I want everything to complement [each other.]”

This time around, the hair and makeup trailers had to be separated.

She used to collaborate with Johnson as they literally worked alongside each other to create a cohesive beauty look.

“I don’t want the makeup to compete with the hair and clothing.

I want everything to complement [each other].”

“I just start digging through the drawer.

I’m very much an in-the-moment person.”

“I kept getting texts saying, ‘What is that on Jordan’s lips?'”

OK, consider our curiosity completely peaked and eyes peeled for the whole sought-after look.
