Hey Ash,

Can I call you Ash? Is that cool? I just wanted to write and tell you how much I like your face. And your hair. Totally adorable. So, um, gimme a call sometime? I'd be a great BFF and shopping buddy.

So, telling a celebrity you like their face is a little creepier than I anticipated. But I still stand by my statement: Ashley Benson is totally winning with this blue smoky eye and velvet skin combo. Plus, she dyed her blonde hair a deep cocoa brown and she looks chic and modern. 


I love the emphasis on the lower lash line. It's making her blue eyes just pop out of her face. Of course, I mean that in the very best way possible. Blue on blue makes everything way more intense. Those brows are perfectly groomed and frame her mega blue eyes. Her skin is matte and soft and the subtle rosy cheeks give her a great glow. My only complaint is the lip colour. I don't mind this nude pink gloss, but I think I'd prefer more of a dusty pink. 

I'm a huge fan of this brunette colour on her. She looks so much more modern and mature and I think it definitely shows that she's past her PLL days. So, after this long love letter to Ms. Benson, I think it's safe to say that I've found my new lady crush.
