Gossip Girl’s Taylor Momsen has made a smoky eye her signature look, both on-screen and off-, and it was her love for all things beauty that made her show her support for Clinique and Teen Vogue for the Fresh Faces Tour. “I love make-up,“ Momsen told PEOPLE. “I love drama and I love self expression and extremes, so make-up is a great way to show that.” Starting in a New York City’s Union Square Plaza, hundreds of eager girls lined up by the “Mobile Beauty Studio” for their turn for a complimentary hair and beauty makeover by a team of professionals — including a photo op with a fashion photographer. And for Momsen, who is featured on the magazine’s September cover, coming out for the tour’s start was only natural. “Clinique’s one of the first brands I used and it’s a great partnership that they have with Teen Vogue,” said the 16-year-old starlet. “It’s really exciting.” As the Fresh Faces Tour moves across the country, three lucky girls will be chosen as “fresh faces” and win a trip to New York City.
