Wonderfull Did Gigi Hadid Kill

After season after season of no-makeup makeup, we’re ready for a change. Luckily, the Fall 2016 runways were packed with colorful eyes and lip ideas that we can’t help but embrace a little early. What better way to welcome spring (and St. Patrick’s Day) than with a hint of emerald eyeliner? Risky shadow shades have been on our radar for months now—who can forget Beyoncé’s courtside jade lids, or this colorful Instagram from Joan Smalls, which is inspiring us to reach for a similarly shaded pencil instead.
The model topped off a traditional smoky eye with a dash of iridescent green liner on her waterline, transforming a classic date night look into something a little more dramatic. Another take: For an unpredictable twist on the cat-eye, swap out your black liner for a matte, mossy hue, like Stila’s waterproof formula. The look isn’t just for green eyes anymore—incite makeup envy with these six verdant shades.
It’s a refreshing change of pace for women like me, who for years have struggled to craft bone structure from powder. For us—forever teenaged, only ever called “cute,” never beautiful—the prevailing wisdom has been that “you’ll appreciate it when you’re older.” Not so—or, at least, not good enough. Instead, this new wave of plump-cheeked icons challenges us to consider the singular beauty of a baby face and embrace it on its own terms.
There’s something to be said for softness. Take Gomez, whose appearance has changed little from her Disney Channel days. Yet, those full cheeks create a striking contrast with a structural Louis Vuitton sheath, or a sky-high Vetements denim mini, in the same way that a tulle ballerina skirt paired with tough moto boots catches the eye—managing to look not young, but plainly pretty. Then there’s Miranda Kerr, whose doll-like features set her apart from her more angular peers and prove that you don’t need glass-cutting cheekbones to knock them dead. A round face has become a way to stand out—an asset, not to be obscured by makeup.
It’s a mind-set in favor of what’s natural—the “come as you are” approach that has gripped fashion. Of course, that means that if you were blessed with perfect, prominent bone structure, you should embrace it. For everyone else, remember: Baby faces can be beautiful, too.
