The lip shades in Gigi
Hadid’s latest collection with Maybelline has its own stories to tell
Manila, 2017
– A supermodel, fashion designer, and now a makeup mogul. When she’s not busy
conquering the runways of designer fashion shows, she’s also working behind the
scenes collaborating with different designers from clothing to shoes and even
accessories. As if that’s not enough to add to her ongoing list of achievements,
Gigi Hadid continues to #MakeItHappen as she now launches her debut makeup line
in collaboration with the world’s no.1 makeup brand, Maybelline New York. As a makeup
junkie herself, Gigi got the chance to work on this project along with her long-time
friend, makeup tutor, and currently Maybelline’s Global Makeup artist, Erin
Parsons.
Makeup made simple
Dubbed
as a “coast to coast” collection, the entire makeup line is a mix of all the
products that Gigi finds extremely essential based from her experiences of
having to travel a lot for a living. The limited edition collection includes
tinted primers, strobing creams, mascara, lip kits, and in neutral and basic
shades perfect to transition from day-to-night looks. It also includes an
entire ‘multi-tasking’ makeup palette that houses several shades of concealer,
blush, highlighter, and contour together with a mini-version of mascara which
she calls the Jetsetter Palette.
“The
most exciting part about making this collection was creating something I wasn’t
able to find before – a palette or kit that had all my favorite colors and
everything I needed – all in one place," said Gigi.
The
collaboration was in the works for almost a year and was carefully curated
based on Gigi’s exciting jetsetter lifestyle and story. Some of the shades in
the collection are deeply inspired by the places and people that hold a special
place in her heart. To start, the collection includes two distinct looks—West Coast Glow and East Coast Glam—carefully designed by the
22-year old herself representing her hometown in Los Angeles and home base in
New York City.
Sealed with a kiss
Some
of the shades included in the collection are named after special people and
locations in Gigi’s life. Several of the shades from Gigi’s eye shadow palette
from the East Coast Glam collection
are named after famous streets in New York—Bowery, Nolita, and Bond St. She
also named one of the shades from her West
Coast Glow collection “Summerland,” that reminds her of the summers she
spent in her LA hometown.
“I named all the lipsticks after the people I
love.” – Gigi Hadid
Just
the same, her lipsticks with matching lip liners from both collections, also have
their own stories to tell.
Cop the New York street style look with the East Coast Glam lip
kits .
As
a self-professed nude lipstick enthusiast, the East Coast Glam lip kit is a set of lip liners and lipsticks in
lush shades of nude, complementing an intense winged cat-eye that Gigi feels
represents the boldness of the Big Apple as a city. The entire collection is
the perfect combination of trendy, stylish, and grunge influences that
translates to how the young mogul views the vibrant city of New York.
Gigi
named the trio of lipsticks in this collection McCall, Taura, and Erin. McCall, pale, light and rose pink
in shade was named after an dear friend of Gigi’s from way back, McCall
Kroenig. Taura is a darker shade of nude that’s actually named after Gigi’s
astrological sign, Taurus. Erin, a nude lippie leaning towards a more deep
mauve shade, is named after none other than Gigi’s close friend, Erin Parsons.
The West Coast Glow lip kit comes in bold shades of red that
complements every skin tone.
As
a perfect contrast to the East Coast Collection, Gigi also came up with the West Coast Glow collection inspired by
the warm California summer vibe. To highlight the laid-back and beachy feel of
the look, Gigi includes three lippies in bold and vibrant bursts of red shades
called Lani, Khair, and Austyn that
complements all skin tones.
Austyn,
with its cool, blue-based rouge undertone, and Lani, a bright orange shade, are named after close friends of the
supermodel from LA. Khair, on the
other hand, a great and basic cherry red lippie is named after her sister,
Bella Hadid’s middle name. Gigi had to name one of the shades in this
collection after her sister, as red is Bella’s personal color of choice when it
comes to accentuating her smackers.
The Gigi Hadid lipsticks retail for Php 349 while the lip
liners go for Php 249 a piece. Get the whole lip kit (lipstick and lip
liner) for only Php 499! It’s the first time for Maybelline to launch lip kits
in its entire product roster and this will be available only until supplies
