The Breakdown

On the inspiration and merchandise for the primary make-up look…

We did bombshell hair (take a look at these attractive, shiny curls), however paired them with Y2K-inspired sun shades, shiny pores and skin, and a lip ring.

Kate Lee: “A lot of the merchandise I used had been by CHANEL. Significantly the bottom, which was a mixture of CHANEL Les beiges Contemporary-Water Tint and Baume Essentiel in Moonlight Kiss.

I used a strip lash, lower into small parts, on the outer corners of the lash line to elongate. Brows had been freshly brushed into place and I used gloss on the lips.”
