While today s beauty landscape tends to lean in the directions of bare-faced and offbeat, there s something to be said of a pop of romantic glamour. For an on-the-nose reference, look to Amanda Seyfried, who infused a Venice Film Festival photo call for her film First Reformed with a fresh take on classic notes rife for re-creation.
The actress s cascade of baby blonde waves acted as a soft bit of framework, a wash of polish commingling with mussed fly aways for the type of effortless appeal that resonates at summer s end. And while a quick glance at Seyfried s face drew eyes to a matte rouge lip and a dusting of blush, a second look found her gray-blue gaze furthered by a subtle encircling of roseate shadow. The nearly-naked eye colored the overall moment a shade more delicate, barely-there pink notes bringing warmth to Seyfried s fair complexion. The makeup feels right on time for September—not too done, while showcasing an extra ounce of attention—and likely translating well into holidays and spring celebrations alike. Just add a slightly brushed-up brow and a couple of gilded additions, and that old world allure quickly becomes contemporary again.
