Chanel’s global creative makeup and colour director Lucia Pica focused on a natural complexion, fluffy brows, long lashes, glossy lips in nude and dark plum, silver shadow, and in the case of Gigi Hadid and  Sofia Steinberg, Lucia also added crystal decals on the inner corners of the eyes.

The hair

Start with damp hair rather than soaking wet hair. Then go in with a strong hold hair gel or mousse of choice and start working it through the hair, paying close attention to the roots. The more product you add, the wetter the effect will be. Then comb the hair back, we suggest using a wide-tooth comb so it looks a little undone.

Once your hair is in the place you want it to be, down or in a twisted ponytail, you want to make sure your ends blend with the top of your hair. Glossing spray is your answer so apply it evenly throughout your lengths, avoiding the roots. Now all you have to do is set it with a hair spray, and we suggest doing that straight away before the gel has dried.

Now you’re ready to party
