What makes you feel beautiful? For me it’s my hair. And, for model-turned-actress Gal Gadot, it’s her smile for me. The Wonder Woman truly depicts all the poise and allure without turning infidel towards her love for minimalism. A single scroll across her IG feed, and you’ll get a sense of the beauty aesthetic that she finds solace in. Tbh, I think I’ve cracked it – it’s certainly ‘Less is more’. Here are some of her looks that I love to bits and you must revisit too, on her birthday today.
Exuding ultimate Audrey Hepburn vibes, Gadot looks like an ethereal embodiment of elegance and royalty with the one-sided bun, filled-in brows, bronzed cheeks and matte brown lips.
Name a better duo than dewy skin and the summer sun, we’ll wait. The feathery, bushy brows, hints of kohl and bronzer coupled with that soft caramel nude lip makes for the best kinda makeup to opt for the season.
Gazing at that all-matte blood red lip, BRB. I mean, how stunning is this look! Gadot keeps it simple with warm brown shadow, thick brows and a heavy hand of blush to elevate the look of that bold mouth. *Chef’s kiss*
Set your skin free and let it breathe this summer as you ditch that cakey look for a soft and subtle finish with a cream-like foundation (think BB and CC creams) and mix-in oodles of strobing cream to boost the glow. Also, don’t forget to sport a peachy nude lip.
Okay, on second thoughts, matte skin isn’t that bad either. Especially for the scathing humidity, a matte base stands firm as a saviour, even if your cream base slips and melts off. Keep it nude-toned and matte from start to end.
Sure, this may not be as minimal as the others on the list, but there are still a bunch of lessons to make note of. The colour blocking, for instance, the buttery second skin-like bronziness and the natural-looking lips. Oh, and that tanned complexion too.
