Jessica Szohr is enlisting Bobbi Brown to teach her how to apply make-up.

The American star appears on Gossip Girl and since landing the role of Vanessa Abrams she's begun to realise it's important she looks her best all the time.

The actress recently modelled bright make-up looks for a British magazine and the shoot inspired her to learn more about cosmetics.

"I'm not good at doing my own make-up, but I'd love to wear colours more. So I've booked in for a masterclass with Bobbi Brown to learn how to do them properly," she told InStyle.

The star modelled when she was a little girl. However, she was unsure what career path she wanted to take so decided to concentrate on her studies rather than fashion.

"I modelled for [American store] Khol's when I was six but I didn't know what I wanted to do career-wise," she explained. "I enrolled at art school to do interior design, but then landed roles on CSI: Miami and Gossip Girl."
