How to: Gigi Hadid at the 2018 CFDA Awards

Earlier this month, Maybelline New York spokesmodel Gigi Hadid hit the 2018 CFDA Awards Red Carpet wearing not just eye-catching Versace, but also a Maybelline New York’s fan-favourite in the form of Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick, in Heroine.

Her footed, multicoloured Versace jumpsuit and siren red stilettos were reportedly the inspiration behind Gigi’s makeup look, with makeup artist Erin Parsons focusing on a vivid lip to perfectly match her supermodel style. The rich matte lip paired with her glowing skin was a modern take on a classic look, and lashes were defined but not overdone for an effortlessly glam effect. 

To get the look using all Maybelline New York:

1. Erin began by prepping the skin with Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Prime Primer. 

2. Following this, she applied the Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Circles Concealer over blemishes and under eyes to brighten up the area. 

3. Skin was set with the Maybelline New York Fit Me Loose Finishing Powder in Light for a flawless finish. 

4. To start contouring, Erin contoured and bronzed the skin all over lightly using the Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Blush Color and Highlight Kit. She highlighted the top of cheekbones, inner corners of eyes, Cupid's bow and nose using the Maybelline New York Facestudio Master Strobing Stick Illuminating Highlighter in Light Iridescent and Medium Nude Glow by combining both shades. 

5. As the first step for eyes, Erin swooshed a light touch of eyeshadow onto the crease using the Maybelline New York Expert Wear Eye Shadow in Tastefully Taupe. 

6. Next, Maybelline New York Eyestudio Lasting Drama Waterproof Gel Pencil Eyeliner in Sleek Onyx was applied to the inner rim at the upper lash line for extra definition. 

7. For top and bottom lashes, Erin used the Maybelline Volum’ Express The Falsies Waterproof Mascara in Blackest Black for extra volume. 

8. To feather and define brows, Erin used the Maybelline New York Brow Precise Micro Eyebrow Pencil, which is available in New Zealand come July. As a pro tip to keep the eyes looking meticulous, keep every brow hair in place using the Maybelline New York Eyestudio Brow Drama Sculpting Eyebrow Gel in Clear. 

9. On lips, Erin applied the Maybelline New York Master Glaze Lip Scrub Stick first and then a touch of the new Maybelline New York Prime It Up Multi-Benefit Lip Primer to ensure that lips were smooth for lipstick application. 

10. Finally, she precisely applied the Maybelline New York Superstay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick in Heroine for a pop of bright colour.
