Willow Smith is the daughter of Hollywood royalty and in a fashion league all her own. The 15-year-old stunner is the face of Chanel and she’s steadily developing some serious beauty street cred. 

As the new face of Chanel, the 15-year old wears the ambassador crown well. As the Haute Couture Shows kickoff in Paris this past weekend, the Chanel ambassador was spotted sitting front row along with her celeb dad, Will Smith. Willow sported teal-hued leather separates and a pair of pointed-toe oxfords. In a fashionable nod to designer Karl Lagerfeld, she paired the ensemble with fingerless leather gloves for the ultimate cool girl vibe.

But in typical Willow-style, the beauty look was simple yet eye-catching. Smith opted for an undone style, tying her locs up in a half-up, half-down ‘do for added volume at the crown. Her skin was left dewy and bare while lips and brows were topped with a clear balm. The pièce de résistance, however, were the eyes, which were accented by powder blue shimmer gloss; proving that when done right, even powder blue shadow can look high fashion.

The glossy eye look is completely on trend for the season and the perfect look for the beauty minimalist who just wants a little glow.  If you’re still a beauty novice, start by concentrating the color on your lid; to maximize on high-shine appeal, blend up from the crease into the brow bone. Above, we’ve included a few of our favorite products to recreate the look at home.
