Hot Damn! Selena Gomez’s Dark-Lipped Beauty Look Was So Good, We’re Still Recovering

Selena Gomez’s beauty looks are one for the IT-girl books. Way before there was a ‘save’ button, Selena was already inspiring “looks for later” in the form of magazine cut-outs pinned across mood boards since 2007. She and makeup artist Hung Vanngo have become one of the beauty industry’s favourite duos, providing us with bar-raising beauty looks that place Gomez at the top of our beauty inspo list. What we love most about the singer turned beauty mogul, is the fact that she likes to have fun with makeup.

Last night, Selena took to Instagram to share an uber glamm look, and we couldn’t help but hit the save button as we scrolled through our feed. The pop star left us speechless with her dark lips and feline flicks. And if there was ever an appropriate time to take your oxblood lipstick out for a spin, it’s in a lackluster July, when things need spicing up a bit.

Selena Sported A Hotter-Than-Hell Beauty Look & It’s Truly Classic

Step 1: Gorgeous Skin Loading…

Begin by creating a luminous base. Prep the skin with a rich moisturiser and buff a radiant-finish foundation all over with a damp sponge. You could also mix a few drops of priming oil into your foundation for added glow. Pat and blend a creamy concealer under the eyes and anywhere else you need coverage. Press a setting powder along the T-zone to keep excess shine at bay.

Step 2: Brows Before Bros

To create Selena’s brows, begin by brushing your hair with a spoolie. Then, use a powder with a small angled brush to fill any gaps – apply the lighter shade in the inner third of the eyebrow and the darker one for the rest, taking care to define the arches and ends of the brows. 

Step 3: Just Wing It

Prime your lids with an eyeshadow primer or a concealer. Next, choose a nude cream-white shade with a matte finish and apply it all over your lids. Apply it with light hands as a little wash of colour is all you need. Grab a liquid liner and finish the look by tracing it along the upper lash line as winged eyeliner. 

Step 4: It’s Lash O’Clock

Complete the look by applying some mascara to the upper and lower lash line. To make them look extra fluttery, stick on a few short individual lashes in the center and outer corners of the eyes

Step 5: Your Crash Course To Contour

Take a cool-toned brown powder and use an angled brush to contour your face. Apply it along the hollows under your cheekbones, then flip the brush over and use the clean side to blend away the harsh edges to ace a modern-looking contour.

Step 6: Cherub Cheeks, Here We Come

Blend a peachy powder blush on the apple of your cheeks, directed towards your temples. Then, use a highlighting powder on the high points of your face.

Step 7: Brighter The Lips, Brighter The Smile!

To ace the look, all you need is a wine-hued lip liner to outline the lips. Then, use lipstick in the same hue all over to get the look.

Try this beauty look and get ready for the compliments to roll in!
