Shay Mitchell Served Main Character Energy With A Classic Red Lip At A Glitzy Gala In Hollywood

Like the classic love interest in a romance novel or the mysteriously alluring protagonist in a movie, Shay Mitchell invokes so much feeling with this beauty look she wore to the Baby2Baby Gala in West Hollywood. With a smooth high bun that has the softest chunky tendrils framing her face, her hairstyle is a refreshing take on modern updos which are usually super sleek and snatched these days. For makeup, the Pretty Little Liars star chose a romantic approach with a rosy red lip that was painted on with perfection and a smokey brown eye makeup look that gives her makeup a vintage vibe. If you love her beauty look as much as we do, follow this simple decode.

Shay Mitchell’s Classic Romantic Makeup Decode

Step 1: Glow Game

Cleanse and exfoliate your skin and then swipe on a toner. Follow up a serum to target your skin concerns and then apply a moisturiser that also doubles as a makeup primer. Once your skincare products are well absorbed, blend a glow-inducing foundation on your face and neck. Apply concealer on areas that need extra coverage.

Step 2: Natural Arch

Use a brow gel to get your aches looking natural and lifted. Work the product into your brows with a spoolie brush and after brushing them upwards and outwards, flatten the brows with the other end of the brush. Fill in any gaps with a light brown brow pencil.

Step 3: Smokey Brown

Blend a chocolate brown eyeshadow in and above the crease and then apply a lighter milky brown eyeshadow on your lids. Wear the chocolate brown shade below your lower lash lines as well. Tightline your eyes with brown kohl and softly smudge it for a more lived-in look. Stick on individual falsies and wear mascara.

Step 4: Contour Cues

Use a contour stick to sculpt your visage and make your bone structure appear carved. Now soften the contour by blending a powder bronzer on your cheekbones and jawline. Dab a terracotta cream blush on your cheeks and apply a highlighter to the high points of your face.

Step 5: Rose Petal Lip

Exfoliate and moisturise your lips. Use a dark brown lip liner to shape your pout. Swipe on a red bullet lipstick with blue undertones and behold how beautiful it looks.

Shay Mitchell’s Classy Take On The Smooth Bun Hairstyle

Shay Mitchell’s smooth bun is perfect for anyone who thinks that the currently trending off-duty model sleek bun doesn’t suit them. Wash your hair with a smoothening shampoo and conditioner and then apply serum to dam hair. Blow dry it smooth with the help of a barrel brush. Leave out two chunky face-framing tendrils and tie the rest of your hair in a high ponytail. Wrap the lengths of the ponytail around the base with the ends of the pony resting on the head. Secure this bun with bobby pins. Apply hair gel only around the base of the bun and not on the bun. The gel is meant to keep the sleek part glossed and snatched. Apply a leave-in cream only on the ends of the face-framing tendrils to maintain the bounce in your hair.
