Modern Beauty: Pared-Down, Yet Polished

High Definition

One of the niftiest features of modernism: defining and emphasizing the beauty of natural shapes. To play up your bone structure with a pop of blush, use a fluffy blush brush to swirl a peachy pink powder on the apples of your cheeks, then follow the line of your cheekbones toward your temples, says makeup artist Mally Roncal. For a new take on the smoky eye, try a navy palette rather than black. Line upper and lower lashes with a navy pencil, smudging with your finger or a Q-tip to soften. Curl lashes before adding two coats of navy mascara. A pale pink lip gloss finishes the look.
