Supermodel Gigi Hadid is a true makeup maven because she’s clearly in the know of and a fan of the hottest 2022 makeup trends. Combining the cold-girl makeup aesthetic with a touch of grunge-y smokey eye makeup, her look is the epitome of chic as she rocks both trends without looking too over the top. It’s a lesson in sporting different trends in a personalised manner that is true to you. Brownie points for even combining the reigning off-duty model sleek bun that was everywhere this year with a twisted rope braid. As we near the end of 2022, it’s a great idea to relive this year’s hottest makeup looks because come 2023, it’s going to be a whole new ball game and we look forward to it. So whether you haven’t tried either of these current makeup trends before or simply want to try all of them at the same time, you need to take a cue from Gigi. Here’s a breakdown of her entire beauty look.
Gigi Hadid’s Cold Girl/Grunge Makeup Aesthetic
Step 1: Glow Game
Follow a thorough skincare routine that involves a face wash, exfoliator, toner, serum, and moisturiser. Apply a makeup primer five minutes after you have applied your skincare. Follow up with an anti-ageing foundation and illuminating concealer. Set your base with a mist.
Step 2: Feathered Effect
Use a soap brow product to get that feathered effect like Gigi. Spritz a mist on the soap to get it slightly wet and then pick up some of the product on a spoolie brush. Brush back and forth to work in the product and then brush upwards and outwards to shape your brows. Flatten the strands to set them.
Step 3: Understated Grunge Eyes
Gigi’s eye makeup is ever so softly smoked out. Blend a dusty brown eyeshadow in and above the creases of your lids. Swipe a light shimmer eyeshadow on your lids. Tightline your upper lash lines with black eyeliner and load up on mascara.
Step 4: Cold Blush
Use a coral-toned blush to achieve that col-girl makeup aesthetic like Gigi. Apply the blush only your cheekbones and a little bit on your nose as well. Apply highlighter liberally on the high points of your face for a gorgeous glow.
Step 5: True Nudes
You don’t have to wear the exact nude shade of lipstick that Gigi is wearing. Customise your own shade that works with your skin tone by mixing two lipsticks together. First prep your lips with a scrub and balm. Outline your lip shape with a pink lip liner. Swipe on a nude lipstick and dab a bit of pink or brown lipstick on the centre to adjust the shade.
Gigi Hadid’s Sleek Rope Braid Hairstyle
This hairstyle has been associated with the clean-girl aesthetic that was trending all year and it is also worn by tons of celebrities for their glamorous red carpet avatars. To create this hairstyle, begin by washing your locks with a nourishing shampoo and conditioner. If you don’t have time for a hair wash, use dry shampoo. Apply serum on your hair and detangle it. Create a centre parting and tie your hair back in a ponytail. Mix equal parts hair gel and leave in conditioner and apply it generously to your hairstyle. Use a backcombing boar bristle brush to tame flyaways and get that smooth look. Divide the ponytail into two sections and wrap them around to create a long rope braid. Secure the ends with an elastic band.
