Blake Lively Jokes Her 'Bonkers' Good Makeup Looks Like a 'Human Filter'
Blake Lively looked like a doll at a screening of Barbie — and she has her “bonkers” glam squad to thank.
Lively, 36, took to Instagram on Sunday, December 17, to praise celebrity makeup artist Carolina Gonzalez for making her look like a “human filter.” Lively was a vibrant sight, rocking wispy lashes, rosy cheeks, a golden highlight and “juicy” fuchsia lips. Lively’s bright beat was teamed with bouncy curls brought to life by star hairstylist Jennifer Yepez.
Lively hilariously admitted to being so shocked by her appearance that she thought Gonzalez and Yepez had used an app to alter the photos. “I texted these ladies twice, making them prove to me that they didn’t use facetune,” the Gossip Girl alum wrote alongside a selfie with the glam pros. (Gonzalez’s client list includes Ashley Park, Camila Cabello, Sabrina Carpenter, Alix Earle and more, while Yepez works with Salma Hayek, Rachel Brosnahan, Emily Ratajkowski and other A-listers.)
“@cgonzalezbeauty makeup is a human filter,” Lively continued. “It’s bonkers. I was in for a rude awakening when I washed it off and saw my real face … now please teach me how to make my lips look this big and juicy. And @jennifer_yepez hair is always, always divine.”

“Some weeks are for the man in your life. Some weeks are for the women.

Lively continued, “I’ve known her for 20 years. Since I was 16. I’ve watched her live, grow, soar, fall, make, break, push, fight, win, create, forge, disrupt, way make, lead, lead, lead.”

In Barbie, Ferrera portrayed Gloria, a Mattel worker who befriends Robbie’s titular Barbie and helps her win back Barbie Land from the Kens who took over.
