Shantel VanSanten is one of those under the radar celebrities. I watch her on One Tree Hill
each week (yep, I watch OTH, flame away!) and once saw her and Robert Buckley at the airport (I would have asked for an autograph or picture, but I was wearing turquoise, paint-stained cropped sweatpants---don't ask.) You can read the story about my little airport encounter with this cute couple here (they were also on my plane, but I didn't want to be a creepy stalker left them alone.)
After seeing some cute photos of Shantel at a recent fashion week show, I decided to Google her to see more gorgeousness. I think she may be my new beauty role model. Glowing skin, check. Flowy hair, check. Always smiling, check. Gorgeous yet not overdone makeup, check. What's not to love? Plus her character on OTH is lovely, no matter how corny the script is (did I mention I cry every episode? I'm a sap.)
She is one of the few celebrities I know who can really pull off any hair color. Blonde, brunette, redhead, she's done it all, fabulously.

Also---her makeup is stunning. She is naturally very pretty of course, but the way her makeup is done perfectly defines her features without overshadowing them. And please, for the love of God, someone tell me how she gets that perfect glow to her skin so we can all benefit from whatever product(s) she's using. Seriously, LOOK at her cheeks in every picture! Beautiful.
Another thing I admire about her is how she wears her hair pulled back a lot. This is something I've never been comfortable with, but she pulls it off effortlessly and looks gorgeous doing so.
Now, back to the hair. Lately on OTH, she's been wearing it down in bouncy loose waves and it's so pretty. She seems to be going blonder as the season goes on, which I like. I also love her hair sort of a lighter brown with highlights, very pretty and natural looking.
So ladies, what do you say? Is Shantel our 2011 celebrity beauty inspiration?
I just love her. Who's with me?

PS- Shantel, if you ever read this (who knows, maybe your PR person has a Google alert for you, please tell us what products you use to give that glow to your skin, we will ALL benefit from some product recommendations.) Thanks!

I have been obsessed with her ever since watching one tree hill! She is SO freaking gorgeous! Glad you made this post! xo
I have never heard of her or seen One Tree Hill, but she is gorgeous! Yay for pulling hair back - I do it nearly every day and get tired of all of the in-the-face hairstyles out there. She is a beauty & hair & fashion icon!
She is beautiful, although I keep thinking her character is younger than Hailey, despite her being the older sister. After that whole toaster strudel thing- do you think her character is pregnant?
wow she is STUNNING!
Amber's Notebook
no clue who she is, but she's beautiful
I'm 31 years old, LOVE OTH, and am totally not ashamed. This season has been great! I loved the storm episode and the bachelorette party episode. I have to say, it's one of my favorite shows on TV. Shantel is such a doll on the show and I have the biggest crush on Robert. He is such a cutie!
She is very pretty in that natural way.
Wow she is gorgeous!!
She is absolutely gorgeous!
I love her! I too, watch OTH! She is verrrry pretty!
Yes and Yes. And let's not even get into her body which is ridiculous! Can't wait to see more of her.
Had no idea who she was nor do I watch the show, but she is a very natural type of beautiful! I'd like to know how she gets that glow to her skin! And I like how she dares to wear her hair back in different ways, very refreshing. I vote her in for 2011 beauty inspiration V- but I am sure we can have more than 1 right? lol
@jenn---OMG her body gets better with every episode. Remember the episode where she gets locked out of the ski house and she runs around in her bikini? Hello ABS!
@cmrpsu---we can have more than one :)! of course :)
She's beautiful! I would also love to know what she uses to get her glow!
Oh my GOSH, she is absolutely gorgeous! Why do I not know who this beautiful girl is? Jesus! She has a fantastic makeup artist on her hand. And hair stylist as well!
x
@aimee---I know right? she's stunning. like breathtakingly stunning. Hopefully her PR person really will email me with her beauty secrets---I think her skin is just really good.
Omg yes! I had no idea who she was until now, but she is beautiful! And she pulls off so many different makeup looks!
I love One Tree Hill Veronika, and I'm not ashamed to admit it!!
Shantel is gorgeous - such a nautral beauty!
She is gorgeous! I love her on OTH!
I deff. vote yes!
She is gorgeous and you are so right about the hair colors - she looks good in them all!! I know I would love OTH, but I never started watching it waybackwhen. It's a show I need to watch on Netflix from the beginning.
It's crazy that's she's not more "well known" or in the spotlight more!
She's absolutely gorgeous! Never heard of her before so thanks for sharing. Her makeup is flawless. I love that it's natural yet still not boring.

Wow I just noticed that Shantel has a bit of a high forehead- yay so do I. I used to let that bother me, I had full bangs for the longest time until half way through high school and then I said screw it I am growing them out I don't care. All of her hairstyles (and colors) look fabulous!
she's gorgeous! i don't watch the show so i hadn't heard of her but wow! her eyes are very pretty and she looks really natural.
Oh. My. Gosh. I love her! OTH is my fave, her and Rob are perfection! x
Have you ever tried Benefit's High Beam? I LOVE it and it gives me a glow like the pictures you posted.

I had never heard of her before, but she is absolutely gorgeous! The second and third photos from the bottom are my faves!
Love her smile! She's beautiful!
If you're going to devote an entire blog post to her, you might want to at least pay her the respect of spelling her name correctly...
eep thanks! i swear i copied and pasted her name and i must have pressed backspace or something...i've fixed it :)
WOW! She's absolutley gorgeous! I believe I have a new girl crush. haha, thanks for putting her on our radar! :)
Oh yes, she is stunning! I can't get over her bone structure and amazing features. A bit jealous ;)
This girl is way too adorable. She looks different, but stunning in all the pics you posted.
She is soooo super gorgeous! And very versatile... she has so many looks. I don't watch that show but I'm loving this girl!
So funny that you posted this - I went to high school with Shantel in Houston and was just talking about her rise to fame with some other girls I went to high school with. She's a nice girl.
Anon- how cool that you went to school with her and even cooler that she is really nice! She looks like she would be sweet! I totally forgot she lived on houston for some time! Thanks for sharing :)
So glad you posted this.. I LOVE LOVE HER!!!
Been loving her hair in the latest OTH episodes, with the blondish bang.. so i went and got it done like hers.. Love it.. She def is a natural beauty!
