No, TV shows aren't just for entertainment. Along with leaving us laughing heartily or bawling our eyes out, carefully crafted TV show characters also manage to look fantastic while they're on screen. It isn't just their immaculate dressing though; with their perfectly coiffed hair and rouge lips, these fictional TV show stars set sky high beauty goals. Give these TV shows a watch, even if it's only for these 6 stunners and their gorgeous makeup looks.
1. Mindy Lahiri, The Mindy Project
You would think that a TV show OB/GYN doctor wouldn't be seen without a white lab coat and thick spectacles but that's not always true in Mindy's case. She frequently dons colour blocked ensembles, body con dresses and popping prints which she matches with dark defined eyes, shiny locks and bright set of lips.
2. Shoshanna Shapiro, Girls
Starring alongside a gaggle of gorgeous leading ladies, Shoshanna was definitely the most unique, in terms of style and beauty. She never shied away from a striking makeup look and took every opportunity to try a new hairstyle. Especially during her Japan stay, Shoshanna experimented further with plenty of pastel toned hair and white eyeliner.
3. Olivia Pope, Scandal
Coming from a high flying legal profession like hers, you wouldn't think Olivia would be a traditional beauty goals candidate, but she is. Regardless if it's for a meeting or dinner, Olivia is the epitome of corporate chic and never misses a day of her neatly groomed tresses, subtle eye makeup and muted lips.
4. Blair Waldorf, Gossip Girl
Coming from one of the most fashionable shows on TV till date, Queen B gave us serious beauty goals with her every look. Like a style chameleon, she consistently changed her look from smokey eyes to glossy lips. But it was her signature hairband with gentle waves and a rosy flush of colour on her cheeks that we remember the most.
5. Wilhelmina Slater, Ugly Betty
Since Wilhelmina stars on the backdrop of a fashion magazine, of course she's one of the most stylish women on TV. Wilhelmina is always dressed to the nines and has gloriously voluminous tresses, smokey eyes and nude lips to match. She may have been an antagonist but boy, was she a gorgeous one at that.
6. Lady Mary Crawley, Downton Abbey
Set in 1800s England, Lady Mary may have the typical Victorian style to her look but still is the most striking of her sisters. With the lace and pearls she's often clothed in, Lady Mary is usually seen in wavy curled hair, flawless skin and rosy lips.
