If there was a TV series made on ‘Selena In Paris’ we’d obsessively watch it just for the beauty inspo. This singer-turned-actress has got some strong game in the field of beauty and makeup. As she arrived in the fashion capital, the Only Murders In The Building actress immediately took the Parisian approach to beauty. Because when in France, do as the French do!
Since French girls like low maintenance hair and makeup that exude a whole lot of class, Selena used those very rules as a guideline to serve this stellar look to us all. With her winged liner on point, sleek hair, and a well-sculpted pout, Selena’s hair and makeup checks all the right boxes and teaches us that basic isn’t necessarily boring at all.
Selena’s Parisian Chic Makeup Details
Step 1: Skin First Approach
Give your skin all the attention when prepping for a French-girl approved makeup look. Cleanse with a hydrating face cleanser. Swipe on a toner and opt for clarifying serum before applying a moisturiser. Prep your skin with an illuminating sunscreen that also serves as a makeup primer. Blend a mattifying foundation on your face and neck followed by a concealer on areas that require extra coverage.
Step 2: Fluffy Arches
Natural makeup is most favoured by most Parisians and that’s why fluffy brows that look natural and bushy are ideal. Brush up your brows with a spoolie and then blend in a soap brow product. Flatten your brows with the other end of the brush. Use a micro brow pen to draw hair-like strokes in gaps if necessary.
Step 3: Belle Wing
Selena’s eye makeup is simple and uplifting. It uses a basic contour hack to make that classic winged liner pop. Apply a nude eyeshadow closest to your skin tone on your lids. Then, apply a brown eyeshadow in and above the crease lines to sculpt your eye shape. Now, draw on your winged eyeliner and load up on mascara to seal the deal.
Step 4: Beauty Sculptures
For a subtly sculpted statuesque appeal, contour your face with a matte bronzer for a soft and effortless look. Apply highlighter to the high points of your face. Blend on an earthy-toned blush with a matte finish for a radiant yet edgy glow.
Step 5: Artisan Lip
Prep your lips for colour by exfoliating and moisturising your lips. Outline your lips with a brown lip pencil to add definition. Swipe on a moisturising lipstick in a toasty brown hue to enhance your pout like Selena did.
Selena Gomez’s Sleek Hair Notes
The beauty mogul’s hairstyle of choice is a sleek hairdo with a deep side partition. To get her look, first ensure you wash your hair with the right haircare products. Opt for a clarifying shampoo and a moisturising conditioner. Apply serum to the lengths of your damp hair and comb to detangle with a wet brush. Create a deep side parting. Wet your hair with a water spray once again and then apply a hair gel or Aloe Vera gel all over your lengths. Use a comb or brush to neatly set your hair in place. Tuck your hair behind your ears and you’re done.
