How to be Beautiful Like... Liv Tyler

Liv Tyler is a true feminine ideal, a rare celebrity whose inner beauty matches her lovely features. As an actress she usually takes the role of sweet girl-next-door, but most memorably played the elf princess Arwen in The Lord of the Rings... being able to convincingly play a noble, queen-like role requires an understanding of true femininity, and she pulls it off magnificently.


How to be like her?

1. Personality
The thing that sets Liv apart from other attractive women is her simple, grounded, and sweet charisma, especially her enchanting voice. To see her personality in action, watch this clip of her appearance on The View:


Her entrance:
 Notice her posture, tall and graceful, but absolutely relaxed and smiling. Her dress compliments her coloring and dark hair; her hair is glossily curled but natural; her makeup is also natural.

Greeting the other women:

• She genuinely smiles and hugs the hosts
• See how as she sits down, the other women are talking loudly over each other; Liv simply turns to the woman on her right (Kirstie Alley) and quietly, sweetly compliments her: "you look very beautiful!" and asks her about her role on Dancing with the Stars. You can see Kirstie light up with the compliment and attention. This is how a Beauty interacts with other women.
• There is a stark contrast between Liv's behavior and that of some of the hosts, who sound especially demanding and shrill next to her.
• Notice how the atmosphere suddenly quiets so that they can hear her sweet voice. By being soft and sweet, she in fact controls the conversation.

Her conversation and voice:
Her voice is soft, gentle, calm, but not too serious-- she breaks into smiles and laughter often. Notice how she speaks lovingly about her father, and laughingly (not boasting) about her own experiences.

2. Her Looks
Liv is genetically gifted, that is true. But in her most beautiful appearances, she shows how to make the most of her unique coloring and features, and some of these traits you may find you have in common!

• Pale Skin (Clear Winter coloring).

Though she sometimes plays with a tanner look, Liv's most natural and striking feature is her alabaster skin. She can get away with light makeup: mascara and a pink blush. Paired with her dark, shiny hair and eyes, this high-contrast look is classically beautiful. For more formal occasions, a bright red lipstick looks simply stunning with pale skin and dark hair

• Her height

Liv is very tall (5'10") and has rather broad shoulders, which is an advantage for modeling, but can be intimidating among "average" people. Her sweet nature and charm ensure that she never comes across as masculine, and she knows how to dress to enhance her elegant figure and womanly curves. For casual wear, jeans and a horizontally-striped shirt look great on tall girls; it is a sweet look that breaks up long lines. If you're tall, a big bag also looks better than a little purse!
