Zendaya’s Ethereal Odyssey Makeup Look Is Summer’s Biggest Beauty Trend! Here’s How to Get the Look

1. Groom and trim the brows first

Before any product goes on, the brow itself needs to be reshaped.

Nogueira used a spoolie to comb brows into place, then a precision razor along the bottom edge to sharpen the shape and remove any stray hairs weighing the brow down.

The tail is left more defined, while the front of the brow stays soft.

2. Fill with a light hand

Skip the harsh, drawn-on look entirely.

Using a fine brow pencil, fill in sparse areas with short, feathery strokes, keeping pressure light near the front of the brow and slightly firmer toward the tail.

The goal, as Nogueira put it, is to keep the whole shape looking soft rather than sharply drawn.

Take a brush with a small amount of concealer and fluff it along the very front of the brows to blur the starting point.

Finish with a clear brow gel, keeping the hairs a little fluffy rather than sleek and combed-down.

3. Prep the lid

Start by concealing the entire lid to mask redness and any visible veins; this is the canvas the white sits on top of.

Sweep a faint wash of brown across the whole eye space, letting it drift slightly down toward the nose; this is the only real color on the lid.

4. Build the eye around a white gradient

For the white, lay down a white paint base first, loading a smudger brush fully and using the back of the hand to control the product, building it slowly so the gradation stays soft rather than blocky.

She is using P.Louise’s White Cosmetic Paint. If you are not in position to get it, here are other best white shadows as recommended by beauty expert,

Once the paint base is set, layer a white eyeshadow directly on top of it.

In the inner corner, add a brown cat-eye liner and tightline along the lash line; this is what defines the eye shape and makes the white read as brighter by contrast.

Repeat the entire process on the second eye.

Finish with a small amount of mascara, then apply individual lashes for extra definition.

5. Work on the Base

Before any color, hydrate.

A serum first, then a rich cream to really lock moisture in, because this whole look lives or dies on glowy, healthy-looking skin.

Prep the skin with a hydrating serum followed by a rich cream.

Apply a full-coverage foundation, then a cream bronzer, going heavier through the cheeks if your skin runs pale to balance the white on the eyes.

Apply a matte, full-coverage concealer wherever it’s needed.

For color, use a highlighter-blush hybrid on the cheeks and add a small amount to the bridge of the nose.

Set the under-eye area first, then dust the setting powder over the entire face to lock the base in place.

6. Set the Look

The finishing touches are where it all comes together.

Go back in to make the white pop, then lock everything down.

Before finishing, add one more layer of white eyeshadow over the lid to push the brightness further.

Apply a bit more mascara to keep the lashes from getting lost against the white.

Finish the face with a matching lip combo.

Set the entire look with a setting spray to hold everything in place.
