Nina Dobrev Applies Her Own Makeup with a YouTube Tutorial
Nina Dobrev showcased her makeup skills.
On Thursday, October 2, the 36-year-old actress took to Instagram to reveal that she was the talent behind her glam look as she prepared for a night out with Ashley Park.
In a close-up shot, Dobrev displayed her flawless makeup, featuring a radiant base, bronzed and contoured cheeks, and a hint of shimmer on her highlights. The star’s eyeshadow was particularly striking, with a deep brown applied to the outer corner and seamlessly blended into her crease. She accentuated her eyes further by cutting the crease with a nude shade and added intensity with black eyeliner framing her brown eyes, finished off with a sharp wing. To complete her look, Dobrev opted for mascara, well-defined brows, and nude lips.
“Makeup by 🙋🏻♀️,” she captioned the post, adding, “(Thanks to a YouTube tutorial 😂).”
While she took charge of her makeup, Dobrev enlisted a hairstylist for her updo. Her brunette locks were divided down the center and styled into a slicked-back updo, with the ends gathered into a bun. Face-framing tendrils were left out and styled in soft curls.
Her outfit consisted of the black Cult Gaia dress, which fans have referred to as a “revenge dress” post her breakdown with ex-fiancé Shaun White.
The dress featured a cutout and plunging neckline embellished with gold hardware for a touch of cleavage, tapering into a body-hugging fit.
To complement her bold look, Dobrev accessorized with gold pieces, including a clutch and statement earrings. She finished off the ensemble with strappy gold heels.
In another snapshot, Dobrev posed alongside Park, 34, who looked equally stunning in a flowing brown dress featuring a low-cut neckline and floral details.
Park matched her outfit with silver bow earrings, bronzy eyeshadow, well-defined brows, and glossy lips. Her highlighted hair was styled in a half-up, half-down fashion with cascading curls.
“✨,” Dobrev captioned a series of photos from the night, eliciting excitement from fans in the comments.
“The revenge HOTNESS is next level!!!!” exclaimed one fan, while another noted, “Oh yeah, she’s going to be just fine 😮💨🔥.” A third added, “Giving me Princess Diana’s revenge dress vibes and I’m all for it. 👏🔥.”
Her fellow celebrities also expressed admiration for her look, with Vanessa Hudgens commenting, “Gorrrrrgeeee,” and Zoey Deutch adding, “Hi hot stuff.” Actress Claudia Sulewski chimed in, “I’m SWEATING.”
Dobrev’s alluring appearance follows the confirmation by Us Weekly that she and White, 39, ended their five-year relationship on September 11.
On September 19, a source told Us Weekly that their decision to separate involved “no drama” or “cheating.”
“They were loyal to one another throughout their relationship. Ultimately, they realized they were simply better off as friends instead of husband and wife,” the source shared.
On October 1, Dobrev addressed speculation regarding her potential romance with Zac Efron following their cozy vacation together last month.
When questioned by TMZ if they were “just friends,” Dobrev nodded in affirmation.
“You know what? I’m excited about the future, and the only constant is change,” she remarked.
