Charlotte Tilbury was the one person dancing when Bella Hadid noticed her. In fact, she already knew of the make-up artist’s “gorgeous” work and status, but it surely was in that moment, as Tilbury was standing on the table next to hers and dancing when nobody else was, that she realised she had found a kindred spirit. “I knew then she can be my recent dance partner,” Hadid says.  

Since that moment on the Prince’s Trust Gala last summer, the 2 have launched into a creative partnership, with Hadid becoming a “global beauty muse” and face of Charlotte Tilbury. “She is such a light-weight in how she connects with people and the way she invites collaboration, it’s such a special experience to be sharing ideas and dealing so closely and creatively along with her,” says Hadid. “We at all times have a lot fun once we are together – her energy is magnetic and our connection is so strong.” 

Now, the model is starring within the campaign for the brand’s latest lipstick release, the Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur. A matte liquid lipstick, the gathering draws on the identical smoothing and blurring effects present in the opposite Airbrush Flawless products like foundation and face powder. Tilbury first conceived of the thought backstage at shows and on set as she was mixing concealers and powders attempting to get a blurred, soft-focus look, and now she has prolonged that idea to liquid lipsticks, which may often be quite drying and creasing.

The lipsticks will debut on the brand’s recent app which launched last week and utilises AI and deep learning to shade match and provides personalised skincare regimens, in addition to affirmations, tutorials and exclusive content. The app is Hadid’s current beauty obsession, so she says. “I’ve been capable of learn a lot from Sofia [Tilbury] and Charlotte and [the app] is like having all the wonder hacks in a single place,” she says. “Charlotte and I share an interest in using technology to innovate and push the boundaries of creativity, it was a very special reason why I used to be excited for us to partner.” 

Dazed Beauty caught up with Hadid for some quickfire questions on why her mum is her beauty inspiration, staying sane during fashion month and finding beauty from inside.

Who’s your ultimate lipstick inspiration?

Bella Hadid: My mom, Yolanda. She showed me all the several versions of natural nudes since I used to be young. I laugh now because I used to have a look at her lipsticks and think all of them looked the identical, but now that I even have my very own I can understand how special each specific lipstick color is to an individual.

With fashion month approaching, what’s your go-to technique to be certain you’re feeling your best, even when you’re so busy?

Bella Hadid: I feel it’s more so about just listening to yourself and what your mind and body need at that moment. It might probably be a moment of quiet, a social media detox, a walk, etc. Honour wherever your intentions lie for that day. I wish to zone out in cooking a very good meal for the people I really like, spending time alone to align and balance myself, or be with my animals in nature. 



You’ve spoken recently about inner beauty and prioritising non-appearance compliments. How do you balance that while working in an industry that is targeted a lot on appearance? 

Bella Hadid: I feel there remains to be quite a lot of work we’d like to do surrounding beauty standards inside our society, in addition to judgement surrounding the best way people look. Beauty comes from inside, so the very best solution to express inner beauty is thru love and compassion. If you’re gentle and nice to yourself, that radiates through.

How does make-up play into this? Do you discover it “empowering”? 

Bella Hadid: I find creativity and self-expression beautiful and empowering. Make-up will be an incredible tool to precise each of those things. It’s an outlet for a lot of, including myself. I try to seek out the wonder in the whole lot I do and everybody I encounter. I really like that Charlotte and her products help people feel how I at all times see them to be, which is just beautiful.

What’s your favourite and least favourite a part of your beauty routine? 

Bella Hadid: What I really like about lipstick is that it may well immediately make you’re feeling more confident, or more sexy – or more of whatever it’s you ought to express that day – and that’s so empowering! 

I’ve at all times loved experimenting with lip looks, but Charlotte’s recent Airbrush Flawless Lip Blur has quickly turn out to be my go-to, I’m obsessed because every color I try on makes me feel like a unique version of myself and I can wear them blurred or daring to get a unique finish, so whether its an off-duty day or work day they are only perfect to tug my look together. I don’t know that I even have a least favourite part, I keep it pretty easy and if there’s something I don’t like, I probably just won’t do it!
