3 LOOKS TO TRY WITH THE M·A·C STUDIO FIX EVERY-WEAR ALL-OVER FACE PEN.

Known for effortless glam looks that place emphasis on flawless skin, Alicia Keys’ affinity for ‘skinified makeup’ makes us want to ditch the bold looks for subtle simplicity. Achieve the look by applying concealer underneath the eyes. Stick to tones that match your skin for a bare-faced approach or go a shade or two lighter to brighten the under eye area. Set with a translucent setting powder and setting spray, apply mascara, dab on a light gloss or opt for a daring lip and call it a day.

The term soft glam has pervaded the beauty streets for quite some time now. The resurgence of retro beauty trends have us reverting back to makeup looks that accentuate our facial features without the excessive additions that characterised late 2010s makeup trends. Take cues from Gemma Chan by applying concealer that matches your skin tone before a full-coverage foundation to achieve a flawless matte finish. Go in with a lighter concealer underneath the eyes and the T-zone and set with translucent setting powder and setting spray. Add blush to cheeks, nose and upper eye area and finish the look with a blush or rosy lip gloss.

When you think grunge-inspired makeup looks, you think heavy black liner (perhaps a matching black lip too). Model Iris Law reimagined the famed aesthetic for the Cannes 2023 red carpet by keeping the attention on a bold lip and sleek eyebrows circa 1990s. Get the look by defining your eyebrows with a concealer (if you’re feeling extra brave, apply concealer over one brow to give the illusion of an eyebrow slit). Go in with a lightweight foundation and apply concealer underneath the eyes and on your T-zone. Set with a translucent setting powder and setting spray and seal the look with a jewel-toned matte lipstick.
