"Not a Kim bis": Julia Fox's message through her ultra-black smoky eye

2022-01-26T14:40:47.587Z


Kanye West's new girlfriend stood out at Paris Fashion Week with her very dark and XXL eye makeup. A make-up artist deciphers this far from trivial look.


Julia Fox, Kanye West's new girlfriend, is fearless.

Since she formalized her relationship with the rapper at the beginning of January, the 31-year-old American actress has continued to get noticed with impactful looks.

Paris Fashion Week gives the couple the opportunity to multiply sulphurous appearances, dressed in extravagant matching outfits that panic photographers.

Taking advantage of this spotlight, the beauty stole the show from her new

boyfriend

at the Schiaparelli and Kenzo men's spring-summer 2022 haute couture fashion shows fall-winter 2022-2023 on Monday January 24 by wearing eye makeup that caught the eye.

The

actress wore a phat, ultra-black winged smoky-eye that intensely frames her blue eyes.

A surprising choice that we owe to the British make-up artist Daniel Kolaric, who made it mainly with products from the make-up brand Pat McGrath Labs.

"To distinguish oneself "

“Clearly, it's a look that breaks completely with the codes of traditional make-up.

The classic smoky-eye, normally it's a fairly smoky look, close to the eye.

Here, it is very graphic and stretched almost to the eyebrows”, describes the professional make-up artist Louise Loctin, who retains two strong biases.

On the one hand, Julia Fox “wanted to make an impression with an unconventional style, which pleases or does not please, but which makes people talk a lot about her.

This is his goal above all, ”according to the expert.

"She has succeeded and plays it thoroughly on social networks", where the "memes" more or less complimentary to her are multiplying.

The actress took advantage of this surge to add her two cents: "Do you want to know who my favorite make-up artist is?", She wrote in a story posted on her Instagram account, where we see Kanye West

himself

touching up her makeup.

On the other hand, “she wants to differentiate herself from Kim Kardashian

(Kanye West's ex, editor's note)

, who is used to wearing super glamorous make-up.

By showing that she dares an almost punk look, she wants to prove that she is not a "Kim bis", that she has her own personality and she is not there just to replace her, "continues Louise Loctin. .

Technical gesture

For the more daring who would like to venture there for a themed evening, the high priestess of makeup Pat McGrath revealed the list of products used to achieve this look: an eye shadow from a palette, a liquid eyeliner and an eye pencil (both waterproof), as well as a mascara with a lengthening formula.

The right method?

"Use a flat brush to apply the eye pencil all over the eyelid and extend it outwards, up to the brow bone", details the makeup artist in a press release.

Then, using a smaller, more precise brush, “define the lower lash line with eye shadow and outline it with liquid eyeliner.

Curl lashes with mascara”.

The tutorial shows that it requires a good hand and technique, which is not necessarily within everyone's reach. “Such a graphic make-up involves having perfect symmetry on both sides. For someone who is not necessarily used to applying makeup this way, it is very difficult to reproduce. You have to know where to stop, what form to take…”, warns Louise Loctin, who recommends arming yourself with a two-phase lotion and cotton swabs in order to perfect the final appearance.

The rest of the makeup looks much more discreet, to give pride of place to the eyes.

“Her complexion is flawless, simply accessorized with a nude pink mouth.

It is already so strong at eye level that you have to avoid having a heavy hand on the rest of the face, which would not be very harmonious", advises the expert who adds that "as soon as you make a dark eye makeup, it brings out all the imperfections”.
