Selena Gomez is always looking her best with or without makeup and that’s because she just knows how to marry skincare and hair care with makeup and styling. She also always takes the classy route and sticks to her tried and tested looks. So, even if she goes in for dramatic eye makeup or an intricate hairstyle, the rest of her beauty look is then toned down to create a balance. It’s much like her latest look where she rocks dramatic winged liner with an overlined lip and yet manages to make it look minimalistic and chic. Props to her hair and skin game here as they do all the heavy lifting in making this beauty look appear fresh and polished. Take a cue from Selena on how to keep things fresh by following this simple decode.
A Breakdown Of Selena’s Classic Makeup Look
Step 1: Inch Of Skin
To achieve the glass skin look like Gomez, prep well with skincare products. Cleanse, exfoliate, tone, apply serum, and then moisturise. Once your skincare has been absorbed, apply a primer according to your skin concerns. Blend on a dewy foundation and follow up with concealer on areas that require more coverage. Set the base with a setting spray or face mist.
Step 2: Raise Them Up
The key to a clean makeup look has to be the brows. Brush them upwards so that it adds lift to your visage. Fill them in with a pencil and then brush once again to blend in the pigment. A brow gel can be used to lock the strands in place.
Step 3: Devil’s In The Details
It’s all about contouring your eyes right when working with simple, neutral eye makeup looks. Blend a brown eyeshadow in the crease lines and beneath the lower lash lines. Apply a softer neutral shade on your lids. Then go in with a gel eyeliner to draw wings on the upper lash lines. Use an angled brush to extend the wings for a dramatic effect. Soften the edges of the wings with a brush and some black eyeshadow if necessary. Finish with mascara.
Step 4: Everglow
Opting for a warm-toned bronzer will do your skin many favours without looking too excessive. Apply it to areas like the cheekbones, jawline, and hairline. Next, use a highlighter on the high points of your face. Blend a blush on your cheeks.
Step 5: Peachy Please
Her lips speak volumes. Scrub and moisturise that pucker to remove chapped skin and smoothen. Use a spicy pink-toned lip liner to outline your lip shape. Fill in colour with a swipe of a peachy nude lipstick.
Selena’s Snatched Hairstyle
This hairdo is popular amongst all of tinsel town’s cool girls because it is just so sleek and stylish. You can try this look on clean or unwashed hair, any way works. For best results wash your hair with shampoo and conditioner and then apply serum to the lengths. Divide your hair with a centre parting and then saturate the roots with hairspray. Take both halves of your hair and pull it back to twist it into a bun. Secure it with a hair tie and let the ends stick out. Tame your baby hairs with hairspray and a backcombing brush.
