Get Shalom Harlow’s Iconic Runway Makeup Look with PAC

Shalom Harlow is deemed a LEGEND when it comes to super modeling (yes, not modeling but SUPER MODELING). Ever since her debut on the ramp in 1992, she has been known as one of the biggest supermodels in history. Her expressive walk, greek goddess-like body, and oh-so-dreamy makeup looks have been re-entering the radar right now and it’s the iconic makeup look from Gianni Versace’s 1995 Spring Collection show. Clad in a soft lavender dress followed by a black dress, both made up of soft silk, she carried not just the dress but her makeup brilliantly too. And now that people have rediscovered Shalom, Instagram and YouTube edits of her makeup look have been going viral as a complete makeup trend. Wanna try Shalom’s makeup too? PAC’s here to the rescue! Down below is the guide/tutorial on how to nail the makeup look, so that you can try it out for yourself:

The Perfectly Flawless Base

Shalom has a beautiful skin texture, which is enhanced with a dewy matte base for her runway look.

• Cleansing: 

First and foremost, cleanse your skin thoroughly, and exfoliate it with the PAC Lemon Squash Exfoliator. This would get rid of any impurities on your ski because we need that flawless model vibe.

• Primer:

We need to keep the confidence and aura this makeup will bring for a long time, so start by applying a luminous primer like the PAC Spotlight Primer. This would minimize the appearance of pores and fine lines, smoothening your skin for better makeup application, but with a touch of radiance. 

• Foundation:

Opt for a foundation that offers you a dewy matte finish, like the PAC Studio HD Liquid Foundation. This would make your base flawlessly high-definition and also make it perfect for photos.

• Concealer:

Follow up the foundation with the PAC Spotlight Liquid Concealer, applying it in seamless swipes under your eyes, on the corners of your nose, and, most importantly, on the bridge of your nose. It will not only conceal but also brighten those points of your face.

Shalom’s Way of Makeup Sculpting:

• Contour:

Now this is one of the most important steps of the routine. Models, especially Shalom, are known for their supremely sculpted facial features, especially the “hollowed cheeks” which are enhanced with contours. Apply the contour starting from below the cheekbone towards the sides of your chin. Don’t forget your jawline and nose bridge. Blend the contour into a shadowy yet precise enhancement of your features.

• Blush:

Shalom’s blushed cheeks are one of the most pronounced features in her makeup and hence, opting for a slightly dark shade of the PAC Spotlight Cream Blush would do the trick for this look. Go for the “lifted face” blush placement. Apply it slightly above your cheekbones and blend it upwards towards your temples. This would make your face look ‘lifted’.

• Highlighter: 

Shalom has brilliantly shimmered cheeks, which is achievable with the PAC Spotlight Radiance Liquid Highlighter. A few drops of the Rose Gold shade and you are good to go!

• Setting Powder:

Finally, set your makeup with the PAC Take Cover Loose Powder.

Brows and Eyes: The Shalom Way:

• Brows:

Just like her base makeup, her eyebrows are sculpted to perfection too. Use the PAC Spotlight Eyebrow Definer and the PAC Eyebrow Brush 099 to brush them to perfection. The brush would help you not only brush them back but also line them in their perfect shape, giving you that model perfection.

• Eyes:

Shalom’s eye makeup is a statement in itself. The beauty of her eyes is amplified by the choice of a silver eyeshadow, which brings out the eyes. Well, you can never go wrong with some silver bling! Prep your eyelid with the PAC Eyeshadow Primer to keep the eyeshadow even and long-lasting, followed by a touch of concealer for better color payoff. Now for the eyeshadow, take the PAC Spotlight Duo Chrome Eyeshadow Palette and take your pick for silver eyes.

Another spotlight-worthy feature would definitely be that soft-winged eyeliner accentuates her pretty blue eyes. They look especially hypnotizing when they move side to side in her sassy, hooded gaze. For this, you have two options. 

-Use the PAC Longlasting Kohl Pencil to create a wing and smudge it out in a soft wing, with the built-in smudger.

-Go for the PAC Spotlight Gel Liner, and create a sharp but small wing with the PAC Eyeliner Brush 031.

The Perfectly Graceful Smirks:

A complete game changer for every makeup look has to be lip makeup. Just a swipe of your favorite lipstick and your look instantly changes. Shalom’s makeup is no exception. Her lips reach their peak beauty with a lip combo for the ages. 

Prime your lips with the PAC Lip Primer for seamless application, and then line them to perfection with a red-colored PAC Lip Liner. After this, apply PAC Timeless Matte Liquid Lipstick in a red that suits your skin tone and undertone, and finally, top it off with the PAC Transparent Lip Gloss. There you have the perfect Shalom Lips!

Complete the Look with Flair:

Now that your makeup is all done right, set it with the PAC Micro Finish Makeup Fixer, and voila, you are done!

Shalom Harlow has been an inspiration for not just models of the 90s, but she also reigns gracefully over the hearts of people who love fashion. She is not just immensely beautiful, but also really smart and witty, benign the perfect example of “beauty with brains”. Hence, she was, is, and will always be nothing less than iconic. In a period where fashion is limited to Social Media, her witty (and to be honest, very ✨savage✨) quote from her Vogue Interview from 2023, 

“Just being able to point an iPhone and take a selfie doesn't make you a supermodel. Sorry, not sorry.". 

I mean, who wouldn’t wanna be like her right?
