Simone Biles exuded vibrance in her latest cover shoot for "Porter," stunning in a series of colourful outfits with makeup to match. Makeup artist Jessica Smalls-Langston [2] experimented with bright pink blush and bold green liner for the gorgeous snaps, though one particular makeup look didn't make it to the final story. Luckily, on Wednesday, she shared a behind-the-scenes clip from the shoot, offering a glimpse at Biles wearing a take on the banana eyeliner trend [3] the beauty world can't seem to get enough of.
"Sometimes good images get cut . . . thank God for BTS," Smalls-Langston wrote alongside the video, which shows her applying a vivid green Danessa Myricks Colorfix 24-Hour Cream Colour [4] ($18) above Biles's crease, creating a floating effect with a thick, curved line. The makeup artist topped off the graphic eye look using a mint-green colour to fill in the space between the liner and brow.
Biles is a natural trendsetter when it comes to beauty — remember when she wore floating liner [5] to match her leotard on the mat? — so it's no surprise she tried the latest trend. Lori Harvey [6] and Shay Mitchell [7] are among celebrities who have recently worn the banana liner look, which first gained popularity in the '60s but has seen a strong comeback these past few months. Ahead, get a closer view of Biles's fun eye look.
