When creating a look inspired by Hermione Granger, it is important to use the young Emma Watson - before she became gorgeous - because that is where the essence of the character comes from. Hermione is intelligent, brave and a true feminist. If there was one person I could be... EVER... it would be her (that's also partially because of my strong love for Ron Weasley/Rupert Grint). For this, we draw on her clean and smart edges even when encountering great dangers.
For the hair, you want your hair down and curl with Hot Tools Blue Ice Titanium Waver to create loose waves. Then spritz with Frederic Fekkai Marine Summer Hair Beach Waves and brush through. Brush your bangs to the side. On the face, start with a good primer such as Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer on bare skin, follow with Bobbi Brown SPF 15 Tinted Moisturizer Oil Free in Light Tint. The primer will help the foundation stay on even when running from the snatchers and the tinted moisturizer to keep the skin fresh and protected. Sweep Shiseido The Makeup Accentuating Color Stick in S4 Rouge Flush on the cheekbones and dab Urban Decay Urbanglow Cream Highlight in Moonshine on the highest point of your cheekbones. When doing your brows, draw them on with a little bit of a heavier hand than you would normally and with low arches, try it with Anastasia Brow Wiz in Brunette. Take Buxom Insider Eyeliner in Pearl on the brow bone, inner corners of the eyes and on the waterline. Then place an angled eyeliner brush with Smashbox Jet Set Waterproof Eyeliner in Dark Brown as close to the middle of the upper lash line as possible. Draw a straight line that starts thin and progressively get slightly thicker towards the outer corner, trace from the end-point down to VERY lightly on the middle of the bottom lash line. The eyeliner should cumulatively fade towards the inner halves of your eyes. After curling your eyelashes give two generous coats of Lancome DEFINICILS PRECIOUS CELLS - High Definition Amplifying Mascara in Black on the upper lashes and then Clinique Bottom Lash Mascara in 01 Black on the lower lashes. Finish it all off with Yves Saint Laurent VOLUPTE SHEER CANDY Glossy Balm Crystal Color in 04 Succulent Pomegranate on the pout by dabbing it on with your ring finger... and VOILA! You're off to fight the Dark Arts!
Hermione, I wish with all my heart that I was you. You lead such a breathtaking and inspiring life. I wish you the absolute best of luck after Harry Potter.
