Another way to read a celebrity’s show look is to examine the colors and textures used in their makeup.
Rosé, a global ambassador for YSL Beauty, wore an eyeshadow palette, a blur-matte lip color, and both liquid and powder cheek products for her Saint Laurent show look.
The four products paired with her black leather styling are notable for the different ways they shape the depth and shimmer of the eyes, the soft texture of the lips, and the color of the cheeks.
Based on the products used for this look, here is a closer look at each item’s features and how they might be used in everyday makeup.
A Palette for Adjusting the Depth of the Eyes
Couture Mini Clutch No. 100 Stora Dolls
Couture Mini Clutch No. 100 Stora Dolls, used for Rosé’s eye makeup, is a palette that pairs tonal shades with glitter finishes.
YSL Beauty highlights the product’s pure pigments for color payoff, a base that adheres smoothly to the eyelids, and a glitter formula that applies with a translucent finish.
With its black chevron-patterned case and Cassandre logo, the palette evokes a small couture accessory, as its name suggests.
The editor’s suggestion is to define the shadows first, then choose where to add light. For an everyday look, apply a thin layer of the lighter shades and add an accent only at the outer corners or the center of the eyelids.
It is a fitting choice for readers who want to create both understated everyday eyes and a touch of sparkle for an evening out with one palette.
Another Consideration When Choosing a Nude Lip: Texture
Loveshine Lip Blusher No. 7 Illicit Nude
Loveshine Lip Blusher No. 7 Illicit Nude, the lip product used for the look, is worth noting for its blur-matte texture as well as its color.
The brand describes the line as a lip product with a lightweight matte texture and a soft-focus blur effect, and says its formula contains hyaluronic acid and Pro-Xylane.
If a sharply defined, fully filled-in lip feels like too much, try applying color from the inner lips outward and softly blending the edges.
Because the effect of a nude shade depends on your natural lip color, checking how bright or muted it looks on your own lips is more helpful than judging it from a photo alone.
This is a product to consider if you prefer a softly diffused lip to a sleek, glossy finish.
A Liquid Cheek Color for Building Sheer Layers of Coral
YSL Liquid Blush No. 57 Coral Clash
One of the cheek products used was YSL Liquid Blush No. 57 Coral Clash.
According to the brand, its lightweight liquid texture can create anything from a subtle effect to vivid color payoff.
For everyday wear, the suggestion is to build the color gradually rather than applying it all at once. Spread a small amount where you want it, then assess how it balances with the rest of your makeup.
It is worth considering if you are looking for a coral cheek color and prefer to tap on and blend a liquid formula.
A Powder Cheek Color That Softly Blends Rosy Tones
Make Me Blush Powder Blush No. 68 Peppery Rose
Also used was Make Me Blush Powder Blush No. 68 Peppery Rose, a product that emphasizes the subtle radiance and soft feel of its blurring powder.
Though it falls in the same cheek category, its texture differs from the liquid product, making it another option for readers who like to apply color with a brush and blend out the edges.
The editor suggests tapping off the brush once before applying a thin layer. Looking at the face as a whole and adding color only where needed makes it easier to control the intensity.
Rosé’s product list included both liquid and powder cheek colors, but the materials did not specify the order or areas of application. Rather than trying to recreate their exact combination, it makes more sense to consider the qualities of each formula.
Start With One Favorite Element, Not the Entire Look
To adapt this product lineup for everyday wear, start with whichever element appeals to you most: shimmer around the eyes, a soft nude lip, or coral or rosy cheeks.
Adding just the eye palette or lip color to your usual products, or trying a formula different from your usual blush, can be enough to discover a new combination.
The starting point for making Rosé’s show makeup your own is to find the one product among the four that your makeup bag needs right now.
