If we’re going to take beauty tips from anyone, it’s going to be from a Beckham. Nicola Peltz, aka Victoria Beckham’s daughter-in-law, seems to be following in the makeup mogul’s footsteps with some excellent beauty insider video content.
In a new clip posted to her Instagram grid, Nicola looks incredible as she puckers up for the camera wearing a very daring shade of red lipstick. Naturally, the bright colour suits her to a tee.
Nicola simply captions the Reel with three lipstick emojis and a tag to her makeup artist’s page. Sadly, neither the model or Kate Lee, who also works with the likes of Rooney Mara and Charlize Theron, have expanded further on the red lipstick details, but Kate’s page does show a recent swatch post for Chanel’s Rouge Allure L’Extrait, £46 here. It looks like Nicola could be wearing the festive shade 854.
Though we haven’t been given solid confirmation of the lipstick details, we have been given an insider look at how Kate expertly applies the red so that it doesn’t smudge or bleed on Nicola’s lips – and this method is one that all of us bold lipstick wearers can make use of.
First, Kate applies a layer of the lipstick. Next, she blots that layer down with a sheet of blotting paper. We personally like DHC Blotting Paper, £5 here for 100 sheets. After that, the makeup artist dabs on another thin layer of lipstick before going over the edges of Nicola’s lips with a red lipliner.
The combination of blotting down the lipstick and lining the lips ensures the colour stays put and doesn’t smudge. If you want even more staying power, we also like dusting the finished lip with a translucent powder. Though, this does take some of the sheen away from glossy formulas.
In other festive beauty news, Hailey Bieber is also making red the theme of her pre-Christmas week. The model has just sparked another major nail trend with a candy cane glazed manicure – a festive upgrade on her original, and very viral, glazed donut nail look.
Essentially, the look combines red French tips with a pearlescent top coat, and works best on longer, pointed nails. The colourway is already so popular that beauty retailer Justmylook reports online searches for "candy cane nail polish" have skyrocketed by 110%, and searches for “Hailey Bieber nails what to ask for” soared by 300% within a day of her posting the look on Instagram.
It seems red really is on the beauty menu this Christmas!
