Emily Ratajkowski has made a career built around sensuality. From well-chosen roles to advocacy for female sexuality to her swim line, Inamorata, the multi-hyphenate draws male and female gazes alike—and today, front row at Michael Kors, EmRata s own gaze served to further support her characteristic smolder.

Ratajkowksi arrived at the Spring 2020 show with her brunette hair worn loose and tousled, an ideally insouciant frame for a compelling makeup moment. Ratajkowski applied her onyx along the waterline, making for a look at once understated and undeniably striking, particularly when drawn to a dramatic note with a kittenish flick of black liner, painted above the upper lash line. A nude lip—perfectly matched to her barely apricot-touched complexion—and a smattering of freckles acted as minimalist elevators to the fall-ready look, which seemed primed for a day-to-night transition. The best part? Unlike other liner iterations, inching black along the waterline is virtually foolproof. Make like EmRata and demand with your own italicized eyes.
