The New Milennial

She’s the youngest person to be named as the face of Chanel, she’s produced and mastered her own music album and she has a pretty killer girl crew (Amandla Stenberg and Crystal Mec, just to name a few.) Ever the free spirit, Willow Smith has been breaking beauty molds since her debut single “Whip My Hair” dropped in 2011. At the autumn-winter shows in Paris this week, the artist turned model sported a gorgeous makeup look that any beauty minimalist would love. We’ve broken it down to four products.

Balmy Pout

After blushing, hydrate your lips with Chanel Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care. Press the balm into your lips and mix with the pigment from your blush stick to create a stain-like effect that won’t be drying.

Eclectic Piercing

If piercings are too permanent for you, then why not try a fake? Copy Willow’s edgy septum ring with a temporary one that you can sport during the weekend and remove on Monday morning. If you’re feeling really artsy, you can even add one or two to a loc or free-flowing braid.
