Gigi Hadid's Summer Makeup - Get the Look

2014 Sports Illustrated Model Gigi Hadid’s Summer Makeup

To create Gigi’s “Golden Goddess” look, Misha took inspiration from inspired icons such as Raquel Welch and Sofia Loren--as they're the perfect role models for bronze beauty.

Celebrity makeup artist, Misha Shahzada for BeautyFriend recently created Gigi Hadid’s summer make up for The Daily Summer Magazine. Famed photographer Gilles Bensimon was on hand to photograph the cover and inside story.

The first step in creating the look was to aim for a natural sun-kissed look while not having Gigi appear overly tanned. To accomplish this, Misha used Perfect Body Perfection Gel in matte tan all over her body to create a soft and natural looking glow. According to Misha, “The product blends nicely and is easily buildable without looking too heavy or unnatural”. In order to achieve a perfect finish, Misha recommends exfoliating the body first as this will allow for overall even application.

Next, she used a bronzing brush and simply dusted Maybelline’s Mineral Power Bronzerall over the face. **TIP--always start with less and build if you need to** Misha also suggests when using nudes for color, to experiment with shades such as taupe, browns, pinks, etc., as nudes do not always have to consist of just beige tones.

To finish the “Golden Goddess” look, she added a pop of color with a red lip while most of the face was left natural. Misha opted for a matte red lip with Maybelline’s "Keep up the Flame" paired with Color Sensational lip liner in "Red" which added a modern twist to Gigi’s look without appearing overly "glam".

Versatility of Style - Makeover



New Look - New You!

Are you looking for a great new style? Is it time to get serious about your hair and your personal style? If so, consider this fabulous and oh-so-versatile look by Carter T. Lund!


Desiree had overly long hair for her face shape with old color from many years prior and natural color regrowth. To start off her new look, Carter T. Lund of A Carter T. Lund Salon in Austin, Texas cut her hair into an extreme asymmetrical inverted bob with very strong fringe or bangs. For the color, he produced a medium blonde hue with a lot of touchable dimension.

Starting on damp hair, Carter produced a smooth look using Framesi I.dentity Hair Force, a light straightening gel, which was cocktailed (mixed) with X.pand volumizing cream and applied all over. He blow-dried sections with a round brush for control and then finished with I.dentity Shine on, a light pomade, and BY Pearl Shiner, a light shine-enhancing spray.

Going for a tousled curl, Carter applied Framesi BY Light Mist all over and curled sections of hair forward, toward Desiree’s face. Once all sections were done, he applied Framesi BY Volcanic Wax, a dry paste to his hands before running fingers through to finger-style hair into place. Last, a fine mist of BY Pearl Shiner, a light shine-enhancing spray, provided soft luster.


This cut, color and styling is perfect for the professional woman who needs a defined and confident look. Can you rock it?
