In order to attract more attention from the cameras, female celebrities attending public events either show off their figure in gorgeous gowns or challenge conventional beauty standards by seeking breakthroughs in makeup and hair! Last night (October 26), Lily Collins appeared at a Time Magazine event in New York, adopting both of these attention-grabbing strategies. Unfortunately, she accidentally hit a makeup snag, leaving her goddess look with a small regret.
This year, 33-year-old Lily Collins has a small face with deep features, thick eyebrows and big eyes, making her a typical doll-like beauty. Coupled with her petite figure, most of her roles since her debut have been sweet and charming, although not very diverse, they are always pleasing. Perhaps due to her repetitive styling and deeply rooted image, Lily occasionally challenges herself and the audience’s acceptance when attending public events. Yesterday, she made a rare appearance at a magazine event, choosing a Ralph Lauren red sequined off-the-shoulder backless gown, paired with Cartier earrings, presenting herself as a charming red dress goddess.
However, Lily Collins’ styling team mismatched her with a retro-style hair and makeup, making her look even older. The hairstylist created a nostalgic high top hairstyle for Lily, with a puffy half bun at the top of the head. Although it helps to add volume and make the face look smaller, the overall hairstyle with too many loose strands does not quite match the lazy feel and sleek evening gown. In addition, paying tribute to the iconic supermodel Twiggy with the eye makeup is another fatal flaw. The thick black cat eyeliner on the upper and lower lids is noticeably separated at the inner corners of the eyes, and a loose brown eyeliner is deliberately added to the upper eyelid, trying to achieve a Twiggy retro eyeliner look but avoiding the most refined high-saturation eyeliner, ultimately making her look older and sloppier.
In the past, many female celebrities have attempted the classic Twiggy eyeliner look multiple times, almost always resulting in a styling disaster. Even Japan’s “strongest second-generation star” Mitsuki Kimura is no exception. When Mitsuki first debuted, she appeared on fashion magazine covers multiple times with a retro eyeliner look that did not match her age and style at all, becoming a styling disaster that is still mocked by netizens. Even female celebrities cannot avoid this makeup pitfall, so as amateurs, please do not easily attempt it.
