In case you spent all of the long weekend in bed, here are some of the best beauty moments that you missed over Easter holidays. From a set of Sailor Moon-inspired nails that perfectly combine both gold and silver accents to the birthday glam look that Lisa rocked for her 27th birthday party, here are some shots of inspiration for April.
Teensy, Tiny Eyebrows
One of our favourite Germany-based Asian creatives, Kicki Yang Zhang, posted this quick IG story over the weekend, and we just cannot get enough of her brow look. Aside from slaying the bleached brow trend, she took it to another level by leaving just the very front sections of her brows brown, and the two little circles remind us of the brows of a manga character—a slay in our books!
Cindy Kimberly’s Smoky Oyster Makeup Look
We never knew how much we wanted to look like the shells of an oyster till now. From Cindy Kimberly’s (aka WolfieCindy) Instagram, we spotted this smoky pearlescent makeup look that’s been on our minds all week. There’s just something about the combination of the white shimmers with the Y2K-inspired dark lip liner detail that’s so alluring. And the addition of faux beauty marks under the eyes is just *chef’s kiss*. Add this to your makeup moodboard for future reference for office siren looks.
Lisa’s Birthday Party Glam
Last week, Blackpink’s rapper and resident scene-stealer Lisa celebrated her 27th birthday. Over the weekend, she took to her personal Instagram account to keep Blinks updated on what went down during her birthday party. Lisa’s face has a high visual weight (as we’ve learnt on BeautyTok), and we’ve been loving this softer (but still full) glam on her lately. You can recreate this look too, just use a lighter hand for your brows and don’t be afraid of mixing intense brown shadows and peachy shimmers on your lids.
Sailor Moon Nails
If you’re looking for inspiration for your next nail appointment, look no further. This set of claws from Mexican nail tech Zai, who runs @kiichpannails__ on Instagram, showed us how to beautifully mix gold and silver tones in a perfect harmony. Add in some bright pops of pink for visual interest, and you’re set. It’s serving Sailor Moon and we’re loving it.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Hair for SKIMS Spring 2024
Sabrina Carpenter, the Internet’s favourite IRL Barbie is the newest face of SKIMS’s Spring campaign. And while the Nonsense singer is known for her picture-perfect glam (especially on the stages of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour), this time it’s her bouncy blonde locks that have got us hooked. Here’s how you can achieve the same look: with your curtain bangs, use your curling iron vertically and pull the sections away from your face for maximum volume. For the rest of your hair, opt for a large barrel (we’re talking 1.5 or 2 inches), then gently brush out the sections with your fingers for a more effortless result.
