In a runway season filled with playful neon shadows and swipes of graphic liner, statement makeup is clearly having a moment. But leave it to Gigi Hadid to effortlessly pull off a potentially tricky shade while in town for London Fashion Week.
The California blonde stepped out wearing an oversized plaid jacket—but it was her monochromatic rose-gold makeup that turned heads. In what is arguably amongst the hardest eyeshadow colors to pull off, Hadid seamlessly blended a wash of shimmering rose into the crease of her lid and tops of cheekbones, careful not to forget a dab on her pouty lips.
While bronze, silver and even peach shadows are easily applied and worn with any frock or coat, pink runs the risk of giving lids a haven t-slept-in-days tired cast. By choosing a warm, glimmering hue that worked with her golden skintone and heightening the romantic mood of her look with a ballerina bun, the model, who is in town to show her latest from Tommy Hilfiger s collection, nailed the equation. Think of it as just one more reason to spread fall’s prettiest blush shades a little higher north.
