To achieve that signature moody depth before layering on high-wattage glitter, sculpting the eye with sophisticated cool tones is essential. This Dolce & Gabbana 03 Chrome Star eye palette delivers the perfect quad of sleek greys and velvety contours for a flawless base. For Jennie’s look, sweep the soft grey shade across the entire lid as a smooth canvas, then blend the deeper slate into the outer crease and along the lower lash line to elongate and soften the eyes. The formula melts effortlessly into the skin, keeping your smoky base smooth and crease-free even in summer humidity.

To ground the icy celestial eyes and bring a healthy, energetic bounce to the face, a multi-dimensional cheek contour with high-pigment liquid formulas is key. Begin by dotting the Soft Pinch Liquid Blush in the shade Adore – a gorgeous radiant light pink – high on the cheekbones. Its weightless, fluid texture melts seamlessly into the skin, delivering a long-lasting, flushed-from-within glow.

To dial up the drama and lock the liquid blush in place for up to 16 hours, sweep a high-performance powder blush on top to create a striking three-dimensional gradient. The iconic Blush from Nars, powered by their innovative Pure Pigment Blend technology, combines natural extracts and mineral pigments for intense colour payoff. Dust this warm, vibrant orangey-pink shade directly over the Rare Beauty base, focusing on the apples of the cheeks. It beautifully blurs imperfections while creating a dreamy, sunset-inspired colour melt.

With the eyes and cheeks commanding attention, a super-shimmery, hyper-reflective lip gloss is the perfect finishing touch. Skip the opaque matte lipstick and instead swipe on your favourite lip tint, then generously layer Chanel's Rouge Coco Hydra Gloss in 456 Fabuleuse. This luxurious, non-sticky formula acts like a hydrating shield, drenching the lips in a mirror-like shine while keeping them plump and moisturised all night long.
