Nina Dobrev is showcasing her talent as a makeup artist.
The actress, 36, gave fans a glimpse of her glamorous look on Instagram on October 2, just before heading out for a night with Ashley Park.
In a close-up shot, Dobrev flaunted her skillful makeup application, featuring a radiant base, sculpted bronzed cheeks, and a hint of shimmer highlighting her features. Her eye makeup was particularly striking, featuring a deep brown shade in the outer corners that blended seamlessly into her crease, coupled with a nude shade used for a precise cut crease. She intensified her brown eyes with bold black tightlining, finishing with a dramatic winged liner. Dobrev wrapped up her makeup with voluminous mascara, defined brows, and nude lipstick.
“Makeup by 💁♀️,” she humorously captioned the image, giving a nod to a YouTube tutorial she followed. 😂
While she handled her makeup, Dobrev entrusted her hairstyling to a professional. Her hair was styled into a sleek updo, parted in the center with the ends twisted into a sophisticated bun, while face-framing strands were left down and styled into soft curls.
Her attire comprised a stunning black frock by Cult Gaia, which fans dubbed a “revenge dress” following her recent breakup with ex-fiancé Shaun White.
The outfit featured alluring cutouts and a plunging neckline accented with gold hardware, perfectly highlighting her cleavage, and fell into a fitted silhouette.

Dobrev paired her striking look with gold accessories, including a clutch and bold earrings, completing the outfit with chic strappy gold sandals.
In another picture, Dobrev posed alongside Park, who looked equally enchanting in a flowing brown dress featuring a daring neckline, an airy silhouette, and floral accents.
Park accessorized with silver bow earrings and had her hair styled in soft curls with the top half pulled back.
“✨,” Dobrev captioned a collection of photos from the night, with fans expressing their admiration in the comments.
“The revenge HOTNESS is on another level!!!!” one user exclaimed, while another added, “Oh yes, she’s going to be absolutely fine 😏💅🔥.” A third fan remarked, “Totally giving me Princess Diana’s ‘revenge dress’ vibes, and I’m here for it! 👏🔥.”
Dobrev’s celebrity friends also praised her look, with Vanessa Hudgens calling her “Gorrrrrgeeee,” and Zoey Deutch chiming in with, “Hi hot stuff.” Claudia Sulewski humorously expressed, “I’m SWEATING.”
This striking post follows Dobrev’s recent breakup, as confirmed by Us Weekly on September 11, after a five-year relationship with White.
On September 19, a source informed Us Weekly that their breakup was amicable, with “no drama” or “cheating” in the mix.
“They were devoted to each other throughout their relationship. They simply recognized they had grown apart and would be better off as friends rather than partners,” the insider revealed.
On October 1, Dobrev responded to speculation regarding her possible romance with Zac Efron, as the two were spotted enjoying each other’s company during a vacation last month.
When questioned by TMZ if they were merely friends, Dobrev affirmed, nodding her head.
“I’m looking forward to what the future holds, and the only constant in life is change,” she added.
