   • To create the illusion of falling in love, take long looks and pretend that you are completely absorbed in your emotions.
   • Smile a little, laugh and gaze absently into the distance.
   • Introduce someone you like to make it easier to portray falling in love.

   • Shift your weight back and forth from foot to foot to smoothly move to the sides. Lana often acts like that on stage.
   • If you're performing on stage, walk around the stage and interact with other musicians. Lana often interacts with her musicians and dancers and uses the entire stage area.
5. 5 Behave like a child. Lana often smiles, behaves openly and imitates the behavior of a child off stage. Try to develop a friendly and simple-minded attitude towards others, like Lana's.
   • During the interview, Lana Del Rey often smiles and laughs. Watch her do it in an interview on YouTube.

6. 6 Smarten up. Lana often plays with her hair, flaps her eyelashes, and preens for the camera. Try doing the same offstage. Lightly touch your face while talking.
   • Don't overdo it. Doing all of this too often will make you look casual and draw too much attention to yourself.
   • Try twisting your hair around your finger or pulling it away from your face.
   • Run your fingers over your eyebrows as if you are trying to straighten them.
   • Gently run along the ends of the lashes as if you are trying to remove something from the ends.

Method 2 of 4: How to Do Lana Del Rey's Makeup

1. 1 Learn more about Lana Del Rey's look. She calls herself the gangster version of Nancy Sinatra and Ghetto Lolita. In terms of aesthetics, this means big eyes, pale skin, and vintage outfits.
   • See large portraits of Nancy Sinatra and Lana Del Rey. Study makeup and notice accents.
2. 2 Get the perfect complexion. Even out your skin tone to prepare your face for makeup. Use a suitable makeup base, foundation, concealer and powder for an even pale complexion like Lana.
   • First, apply a moisturizer and some primer to your skin using a blending sponge. This will make the makeup last longer.
   • Apply a light-colored foundation with a special brush or sponge. Choose a shade that is a shade lighter than your skin tone unless you naturally have pale skin. But don't try to completely change the hue. Just pick the lightest shade to suit your skin.
   • Cover dark circles and imperfections with concealer. Blend the concealer with a special brush.
   • Apply sheer powder all over your face with a fluffy brush. Don't press too hard on the brush. Gently apply a small amount of powder to your skin to set your makeup.
3. 3 Tint your eyebrows. Lana Del Rey often has straight dark eyebrows with a slight curve. Use eyebrow powder to tint and reshape your brows.
   • Choose a shade that is no more than a tone darker than your hair roots. If the brows are too dark, they will dominate the makeup.
   • Use an eyebrow gel or powder and a beveled brush. First, draw a line along the bottom of the eyebrow, smoothing out the curve.
   • When you have a bottom border, fill in the space above it. Use small strokes to paint in the gaps in the direction of hair growth to simulate natural hair growth.
   • Set your makeup with clear brow gel to keep the hairs from fraying.
4. 4 Accentuate your eyes. Lana is known for her eye makeup: open eyes, simple shadows and large arrows. You can make a smokey ice with a rich black eyeliner and huge eyelashes.
   • First, apply an eyeshadow close to your skin tone to all lids with a fluffy brush. Then take a cool gray or taupe eye shadow and apply it to the crease area.Blend to the outer tip of the eyebrow so that the bulk of the shadow is in the outer third of the crease.
   • Take the shadow you applied to the crease and brush it along the lower lash line with a flat brush.
   • Apply some matte or glitter eyeshadow in a beige, peach or neutral shade just below the crease to highlight this area. Use a flat brush and try to apply most of the eyeshadow in the middle of the eyelid.
   • Draw a large arrow with liquid black eyeliner. First draw a line along the eyelid: mark points and connect them with short strokes. Then draw an arrow from the outer corner of the eye to the outer tip of the eyebrow. The arrow should end about midway from the eye to the eyebrow.
   • Now connect the arrow with the eyeliner on the eyelid to make a triangle. Draw a straight line from the outer tip of the arrow to the line on the eyelid. Then fill in the triangle with eyeliner.
   • Apply several coats of mascara to the lower and upper lashes. Add false eyelashes on top for a classic Lana Del Rey look.
5. 5 Accentuate your facial features. Lana rarely contours her face much, but she likes to slightly emphasize features. Apply cheekbone contouring and highlighter to the most prominent parts of the face, but do not press too hard on the brush.
   • Apply a contouring powder or bronzer to your cheeks. Choose a shade that looks like a tan on your skin, rather than a completely different skin tone. Apply the powder to the indentations of the cheeks and blend to the temples and hairline.
   • Accentuate the outline of the forehead. Apply a small amount of contouring product to the sides towards the ears.
   • Emphasize your chin. Apply the contouring powder along the chin and jaw to the ears. Blend towards the neck.
   • Accentuate the cheekbones and septum of the nose with a highlighter without shine. Apply the highlighter to the most prominent areas of the cheekbones and the bridge of the nose, as well as the prominent areas under the eyebrows. Take some highlighter on a cotton pad and apply quite a bit on the area between your nose and lips.
   • Apply a light peach-colored blush between contouring and highlighter. Lana prefers peach blush or nude over pinks or reds, so choose a product that won't stand out too much on your skin.
6. 6 Accentuate your lips. Pick the matte lipstick that best suits your look and check out Lana Del Rey's photos for inspiration. She wears lipstick in a variety of shades, including reds, pale pinks, nude, and berry.
   • Line up the contour with a neutral or lipstick-colored eyeliner. Don't go beyond the natural lip line.
   • To help your lipstick last longer, paint over your lips with eyeliner.
   • Apply lipstick with a lipstick brush. First draw the outline with a brush and then fill in the space with lipstick.
   • Apply some concealer to a small brush and brush around your lips for a crisp outline.
