Yay or Nay?: Leighton Meester's Bangs and Brows

Posted by Alexandra C. | Monday October 31, 2011

I love me some Leighton Meester but I'm having trouble loving this ensemble she's got going on over here. She recently attended a charity event at a boutique and tried a daring pattern on pattern outfit by J. Mendel with shoes by Bulgari.

This fabric isn't my favourite and I'm not head over heels with these chunky platforms but all that could be forgiven if she didn't appear so plain jane to me!

Leighton is far too pretty to be looking so drained and tired! While bangs are usually suggested for those with a high forehead, I don't think she needs them; they just make her look unkempt. While I usually I love a full, thick brow, hers make seem very young- but not in a good way. Her eyeshadow in a shade of yellow-gold matches her dress but not her eyes or skin tone.

Leighton's face is better suited for a glamorous but natural look. Bring back the preppy Blair we all love!

What do you think- is this look a yay or nay?

	on November 03, 2011 Kiki said: This is a no-go for Meester. Bold brows are a necessity for big eyes like Leighton has. However, bold brows can be tricky with bangs and fringe. Bangs above the brow bone just make the brows look bushier. However, Leighton also has a longer forehead, which generally makes bangs a necessity, too. Super tricky! Longer bangs- just below the brows would be a winner for Meester. Bangs that kiss her lashes a la Rachel Bilson (http://www.bellasugar.com/Rachel-Bilson-gets-bangs-new-haircut-1074416) would be perfect! Leighton's current look of too short bangs and thick brows makes her look too much like a little girl! (You know- back in the days before you plucked your eyebrows and your mother would just slice your bangs to keep your hair out of your face and eyes? Yikes!)

I've had that awkward bang cut before though where the fringe just hits too high :( I also prefer leighton with shorter hair and curled.

	on October 31, 2011 Devin kalisz said: Yay. Yes Leightons bangs look awesome on her. Both her brows and bangs look natural and instead of having straggly pieces the bamgs allow for a more polished look IT helps shes adorable too
