Babydoll beauties walked down the Marc Jacobs runway this season, signaling the return of simple, carefree glamour.
Instead of the modern edginess that has taken over the catwalk recently, the Marc Jacobs beauty team opted for a traditional, sweet and innocent make-up look.
Here's our how-to guide to make-up's new minimal.
Skin: The models' faces were kept dewy and natural with a hint of rosiness on the cheeks.
How to: Treat your skin to a good ol' moisturise and follow with a liquid illuminator. Then apply a mineral liquid foundation, lightly applying it in circular motions, gradually building for coverage. Finish with a brush of pink blusher down the cheekbones.
Eyes: The wow-ness of this look is all in the lids.
How to: Apply a creamy peach shadow to your upper lids, using a small eye shadow brush to blend. Then, contour your eye by applying a deeper, orangey shade to the crease. Using black, liquid eyeliner, draw a thick line across your lash line, finishing with a cat-eye flick. (Top tip: use your outer lashes as a guide for how long to draw the flick.) Keep your lashes simple, with a light coat of lengthening mascara.
Lips: Keep them fresh for a totally natural pout.
How to: Start by applying a lip primer then trace the lips with a light pink liner to define. Fill your lips with a rose-coloured lip stain, keeping fresh with a regular slick of neutral balm.
Hair: Pinned back neatly puts the focus on your face.
How to: Slick your hair back into a neat bun — pinned at the back of your head.
