Bella Hadid is one of the most recognized mdoels these days. But what is more recognized from her is her dashing make up and looks! She’s only 23 but has already taken the fashion world by storm, having walked runways for the likes of Oscar de la Renta and Balmain. The face of Nars’ fall colour collection shares her top beauty picks and secrets for great skin.
What is your definition of beauty?
Being strong and confident from the inside out. I think the most beautiful people are the ones who leave an impression on your heart from their kindness and love.
Tell us about your typical makeup routine?
My typical makeup includes beautiful, glowy skin, a gold eye, and long, thin eye liner.
As a model, does your routine change from working days to non-working days? What about day to night?
I always like to keep my skin care routine consistent. I have very sensitive skin so I like to stay with the products that I know are good for me.
What do you look for when selecting makeup (ease of use, color, etc.)?
I always select shades that I know will go well with my eye color and skin tone. I love gold and taupe hues, but sometimes I like to add a pop of color on my eyes or lips.
What is one beauty product you can’t leave the house without?
Lip gloss!
What’s your favorite make-up product?
I love Nars foundations, which provides great coverage.
Additionally, here are some other tips from Bella Hadid’s makeup artist:
How To Avoid Eyshadow Sprinkles
You know what we mean, you’re busy blending in the smokiest of smokey eyes, meanwhile dark shadow is raining down on your cheeks like confetti, leaving you with an unsightly smudge when you try to wipe it away. Patrick uses under-eye guards to catch any overspill as he applies, allowing him to gently whip it off without the merest hint of a mark when he’s done. Genius. Pick up a pack of Disposable Shield Protector Pads, £4.99, on Amazon.
How To Get Fuller Lips
Liner is key. Patrick gently both lines and fills in the lip so that there isn’t a visible outline, and everything blends together. He follows with a creamy lipstick on top, before finishing with a touch of gloss (not too much – it ain’t the noughties any more!) to give the illusion of added dimension. Sold.
The Pro’s Perfect Finishing Touch
Patrick uses blusher. Not groundbreaking enough for you? Well he doesn’t limit its use to cheeks. Patrick uses blusher as a means to draw the whole look together. He brushes a little gently onto the eyes, and down onto the decolletage too. Not enough for you to look at one of his clients and wonder why they’re sporting a pink tone of collarbone, but a touch that’s sufficient enough to subtly tone everything through and create some continuity.
The Contouring Trick
And finally, one last game-changing revelation for you. Instead of slicking on shadow after applying everything else you can think of, Patrick ensures his contouring looks as natural as possible by blending it on before he even picks up the base. This creates a very diffused effect, that appears indistinguishable from real shadow. Try it once and you won’t look back.
