A makeup artist’s dream canvas, Bella Hadid is undoubtedly a strikingly beautiful woman. Heck, we’re convinced the woman could cut us with those cheekbones they’re so sharp.

Whether she’s turning out avant garde makeup looks with celebrity MUA and friend Sam Visser or walking the red carpet with a full beat of Dior Makeup, the brand ambassador executes it all with a sophisticated grace and otherworldly sensuality that makes it incredibly hard to not stare.

From runway to candid moments, we’re celebrating the undeniable chameleon quality that makes Bella Hadid the unique beauty icon she is, with 11 of the model’s best beauty looks.

July 11 2021

We think it’s fair to say Hadid was the talk of the town when she walked the Cannes 2021 red carpet, donning a gold set of Schiaparelli-designed lungs in lieu of a bra (respect). But our eyes were equally mesmerised by the model’s sultry smokey eye and sculptural up-do.

Another excellent look from the Cannes festival this year; here Hadid showed off a flawless, dewy complexion paired with an eyebrow-lifting wavy updo.

We didn’t realise how much we missed the zigzag parts of our childhood until we saw Hadid style her hair in this ‘00s-inspired look. Special shoutout to those kohl-rimmed eyes too *chefs kiss*.

There’s something very special that happens when Hadid is left to her own devices. Case and point: this low-key top knot that she’s styled with an adorable set of micro braids.

June 2020

Another gem from Hadid’s quarantine days; the model decided to experiment with a wig. Though we’d be completely convinced it was her real hair considering how flattering the full-fringe moment looks on the model.

March 2020

Call us suckers for a micro braid but Hadid’s gone and done it again as far as we’re concerned. The icing on the cake? That light icy blue eyeshadow on her lids.

January 2020

If anyone was born to wear a smokey eye, it’s Hadid. This top-heavy eye makeup moment accentuates the model’s angular almond-shaped eyes perfectly.

What’d we tell you about the smokey eye? Here Hadid wears a ‘60s-inspired version of the trend created by makeup artist Sam Visser.

September 2018

Three strikes and you’re out Miss Hadid: the amount of smokey eye inspo is killing us. This softly blended, gunmetal grey and silver moment was created by the ever iconic Hung Vanngo.

May 2018

Forget face tape for a faux face lift, when Hadid hit the Met red carpet back in 2018 with Chrome Hearts, she wore a weighty set of gold hair accessories that were so heavy they almost made the model lose her balance once or twice as she posed for the cameras. Beauty is pain fr.

Since then, her keen interest in fashion and beauty has landed her gigs as a Digital Content Producer and Beauty Editor with titles like Girlfriend, Refinery29, BEAUTYcrew and beautyheaven. She loves the way seemingly innocuous topics like skin care and style have the ability to put a smile on people’s faces or make them think about themselves a little differently. A big believer in self love and experimentation, Briar has made a point of becoming the Australian beauty industry’s unofficial guinea pig for unusual treatments and daring hair trends. When she’s not testing out the latest beauty launches, Briar is big on broadening her horizons, mostly in the form of food but she’s also partial to travelling to new destinations both near and far (and of course, allocating an extra bag to bring their best beauty offerings home with her).
