It's official: Pale pink is the biggest color trend for 2025. If the flood of cool, frothy pink pieces on the Spring 2025 runways (Miu Miu, Alaïa, Khaite, etc.) still hasn't convinced you join the gang of romantics, maybe Nicole Kidman's latest look will change your mind.
Just last week, the actress arrived at the Babygirl premiere wearing a petal pink Balenciaga dress and full English Rose makeup, an aesthetic that's basically the game's bible for chic and laid-back beauty. soft. Below, discover the full makeup process from Kidman's makeup artist, Kate Synnott.
1. Create your base
A fresh and light foundation is essential for English rose makeup. (Imagine a rose petal glistening with morning dew, that's your goal.) "I like to keep it on the highest points of my face, like my cheekbones, the bridge of my nose, and the brow bone—not too much around the T-zone, as I don't I want that part of the skin to shine a lot." adds Synnott.
2. Contour and highlight
Synnott then sculpts Kidman's features with a shimmery shade of contour, which provides a tousled yet natural-looking finish. "I used it on my cheekbones, bridge of my nose and brow bone," adds the makeup artist.
3. Highlight the eyebrows
Next: the eyebrows. Synnott draws on Kidman's brows, with a fine-tipped product that fills in sparse areas with precision. "Then I used eyebrow gel to give them natural volume and definition," she says.
4. Create soft, pink eye color
That's where trending color history comes into play! Synnott applies the shade Pink Velvet all over Kidman's lids. The matte, cool-toned pink shade offers plenty of eye definition without looking like you're wearing a ton of makeup. She then draws a thin, raised line of a liquid black brush.
5. Add a cream blush to your cheekbones
To nail that all-feminine, classic English aesthetic, Synnott creates a rosy, creamy shimmer blush on Kidman's cheekbones. "This blush kind of melts into your skin. I love how it makes skin look super natural and bright," she explains.
6. Apply a glossy pink lip
The Naked Pink shade was the hero product of this look. "It's such a pink-coated lipstick that really stays put and lasts," says Synnott. Cheekbones and lips are definitely the most important features when it comes to English Rose makeup, so make sure you get products with " dew', that improve shine that make your skin and lips look soft.
And there you have it: Kidman's English Rose makeup, punctuated by a radiant, natural-looking blush, delicately sculpted cheekbones and a soft, dusty pink lip. While the aesthetic may seem synonymous with spring, it's actually trending year-round, especially as the romantic hue is becoming quite popular among the fashion crowd. As a general rule, if you end up looking like the lead character in some amazing drama, you're doing something right with this makeup. ;)
