When attending an event born entirely of bling, the beauty mission of the day is to elevate your own radiance. Such was the approach of Gigi Hadid, who stepped out for last night’s launch of Messika by Gigi Hadid—a capsule collection of white gold link pieces bedecked in diamonds—in a makeup look primed to compete in catching the light.
The high-gloss aesthetic began with a taut topknot slicked to shine, the texture-less updo keeping the focus entirely on Hadid’s complexion and glittering opulent accessories. An extended wing of onyx and brushed up lashes and brows offered a dose of classic drama, but it was the application of luminous shadow—dusted across lids and concentrated with an extra pressing at the inner corners—that took the moment to starry-eyed heights.
