Gigi Hadid Wore a New Maybelline Eye Shadow at the Met Gala
Exclusive: Gigi Hadid Wore a New, Soda-Themed Maybelline Eye Shadow Palette to the Met Gala
Gigi Hadid rolled up to the 2018 Met Gala looking like a million bucks, but notice her near-blinding eye shadow? That came courtesy of a new Maybelline palette that will set you back a mere $14. Oh, and it's the cutest dang thing you'll ever see, because it's soda-themed.
Much like Maybelline's last palette, Lemonade Craze, the Soda Pop offering takes inspiration from your favourite drinks. Gigi's the first person to wear it on the red carpet, and I spoke to her makeup artist Patrick Ta to get a sneak peek into this newness.
If it's versatility you crave, Patrick says you can drink it up with this multiuse palette. "If you want to go bold and vibrant, you can use the purple and orange shades, or you can create an everyday look with the brown and gold shadows," he said.
Since Gigi's face chart took inspiration from her stained glass-themed Versace dress, Patrick opted for the former: go bold or go home. "I applied the shade Grape Pop in the crease, then used the same brush and blended in the shade Blue Raspberry to add even more depth," he said.
Patrick added, "I mixed the shades Cherry on Top and Blue Raspberry on the lid to create a base and blend out the crease. Next, I took a clean brush and pressed Cherry Cola onto the lid for a pop of colour. Finally, using a pencil brush, I applied Blue Raspberry on lower lash line and blend out any harsh edges."
The makeup artist says that if you're tired of a boring black eye shadow look, you can mix it up with the palette's darker colours like Blue Raspberry "to make a statement." This packs just as much punch as your standard black but is just a wee bit different to keep things interesting.
I know, I know — you need this in your life now. You'll just have to wait until October for the Maybelline New York Soda Pop Palette to be released in your local drugstore. Until then, you can wet your appetite with the following swatches!
