Nina Dobrev won the ‘Best TV Actress in a Fantasy/Sci-Fi Series’ award at the 2012 Teen Choice…and looked good doing so. Check out what she wore to the annual event and learn how to recreate her look…

The “Vampire Diaries” star wore a strapless emerald green J. Mendel bustier dress that featured a sculpted detail on one side and a thigh-high slit. She paired it up with golden Jimmy Choo “Gana” strappy peep-toe heels and accessorized with a Kotur clutch and silver Coomi jewelry.

Nina Dobrev styled her brunette locks into what hairstylist Riawna Capri called “waterfall braid.” To recreate this look, she tells Beauty Blogging Junkie to “First smooth out your hair with a smoothing balm, I used Wella Velvet Amplifier on Nina. Next curl your hair with a two inch iron to give it body, then spray all over with a texture spray, like Oribe Apres Beach Spray. Finally, create a halo braid. To cheat the waterfall braid, simply braid two braids from your part back to your crown, then criss cross them and bobby pin in place.”

Dobrev’s makeup artist Kindra Mann also revealed to Beauty Blogging Junkie how to copy Nina’s makeup:

Face: “I started by prepping Nina’s skin with Dior Hydra Life Sorbet Cream and Dior Skinsflash Primer. I washed a thin layer of Diorskin Fluid Foundation in #32 over her skin using my Beauty Blender sponge, and then went in with Diorskin Perfecting Concealer in 002 to cover any remaining areas.”

Cheeks: “To warm the skin and give her a natural sun-kissed glow I applied Diorskin Natural Radiance & Glow powder in 004 along the cheeks and jaw line. Then I set the makeup using Diorskin Nude Loose Powder.”

Eyes: “I really wanted Nina’s eyes to stand out against the rich jewel tone of her dress so I started off by filling in her brows using Diorshow Brow Styler, then applied a wash of Dior Eyeshadow in Gold Touch all over her lid with a wet brush to enrich the color. I applied Diorshow Waterproof Eyeliner along the upper lash line as well as the inside water line to frame the eyes and then finished off with a few coats of Diorshow Mascara in Black.”

Lips: “We completed the look using Dior Rouge Lipstick in 483 for a natural lip hue.”
