With the winter premiere of the hit CW series The Vampire Diaries airing tonight at 8 p.m. ET/ 7 p.m. CT, we’re officially admiring the best beauty moments from the first half of Season 7. As Season 7B launches, we can’t help but reflect on the gorgeous hairstyles and makeup looks which have made a splash so far. Just in time for the show’s return to the small screen, here are a few top Vampire Diaries statements which just may inspire your own beauty looks this winter.

Nora’s gorgeous loose curls in I Carry Your Heart With Me: In Episode 4, the sultry half witch and half vampire Nora Hildegard (played by 25-year-old actress Scarlett Byrne) looks effortlessly beautiful with her voluminous dark curls. Her flowing, loosely curled dark locks look perfectly natural, and easily flatter her olive complexion and natural makeup.

Mary Louise’s gleaming straight locks and Nora’s softly pulled back waves in I Carry Your Heart With Me: Later on in Episode 4, Nora swaps her loose curls for carefree bohemian waves which she wears slightly pulled back from her visage. Her defined eye makeup brings the attention to her face and to her long brunette locks. Meanwhile, her fellow half witch and half vampire Hybrid, Mary Louise (played by Australian actress Teressa Liane) stuns with her pin-straight blonde tresses.

Bonnie’s fierce eyebrows, nude lips and luscious wavy locks in Live Through This: As powerful witch Bonnie Bennett, 26-year-old Swiss-born beauty Kat Graham is a gorgeous sight with her piercing dark looks. In Episode 5, Bonnie makes her beauty mark with her flawless tan complexion and her defined dark eyebrows. For a finishing touch, her barely there lip colour and enviable raven waves complement her understated femme fatale beauty.

Mary Louise’s side parted locks and luxurious lashes in Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me: When The Vampire Diaries last left audiences at Episode 8, blonde bombshell Mary Louis made a splash with her sleek locks styled with a flawless deep side part. The hairstyle showcased her eyes, and brought the focus up to her perfect arches and dark, flirtatious eyelashes.
