Fuck me eyes and sex kitten lips — dance-all-night babe Cara Delevingne certainly nails it as the face for YSL’s Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Baby Doll campaign. Inspired to flirt the night away with glam pouts and devilish ideas, we were delighted when our peeps at YSL gave us the exclusive how-to of the look, created by head YSL make-up artist of Northern Europe, Fred Letailleur.

1. Begin by applying Eyeliner Baby Doll Noir along top lashes – always direct your application towards the centre of the iris, rather than the outside of the eye. Avoid creating a line in one movement, instead, two separate strokes — first from the inner corner, then from the outer corner.

2. Create a modern structured flick by positioning the Baby Doll brush handle against the side of the nose to the corner of the eye. For added drama, extend the line further towards the hairline.

3. Apply Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Baby Doll to top and bottom lashes. To thicken, apply mascara to the top of your lashes from above before applying underneath. For an ‘eyes-wide-open look’ brush lashes upwards and outwards.

4. To complete the look, add a touch of colour to bare lips with a Rouge Pur Couture Vernis a Lèvres in Rose Baby Doll and coat nails with hot, high shine fuschia, La Laque Couture in Rose Baby Doll.

YSL’s Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils Baby Doll is available for £24.50 at www.yslbeauty.co.uk

The post How To: Cara Delevingne for YSL Baby Doll Volume Mascara appeared first on Wonderland.

Cara Delevingne hasn’t just been busy getting tattoos – she’s also the face of the YSL Baby Doll mascara campaign.

The full-length video was revealed today, and features Cara getting dolled up with the mascara in between shots of her partying with some glamorous friends (Rita Ora and Rihanna not included). In between getting her lashes done, she’s gets up close and personal with male and female models. It’s not quite falling out of The Alibi with Harry Styles, but it’s as close to it as we’re gonna get.

YSL Baby Doll mascara is available from May 22.

Welcome to our debut Hit List, a weekly roundup of all things best and present in the world of beauty and fashion. This week, we take a look at the best new beauty products out for the Spring, from YSL’s new mascara to Dior Addict lipgloss to a very special offer with Chanel. So take a look, grab a bag, and bask like a beauty in the sun.

1. Lancome Hypnose Palette Eye Shadow

It’s been said that seduction is all in the eyes. So while we practice our magnetic gazes, Lancome took a more practical route by creating the very alluring Hypnose Palette eyeshadow collection. The collection includes three looks: Doll, Star, and Drama eyes, all of which add a softness or intensity to the traditional smokey eye. Imagine wearing Khaki Chic while traipsing through a garden or Menthe a’Lo reflecting city lights.

Available in April at www.lancome.co.uk, £37

2. YSL: Baby Doll Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils

The new YSL Baby Doll Mascara Volume Effet Faux Cils was made for the likes of Valley of the Dolls babes sipping on Manhattan cocktails: demure stirred with straight up sex appeal. Sounds fancy? It is, you devilish things. With a scientific formula and a beautifully designed brush, YSL introduced impressive and ultramodern technology to create voluminous, retro siren lashes. Fur rugs and Jane Birkin aside, YSL’s Baby Doll Mascara is a go-go.

Available in April at www.yslbeauty.co.uk, £24.50

3. Dior Addict Lipgloss

With Spring finally in the air, we need a colourful gloss to match our poolside daiquiri. Luckily for our pouts (and developing tans), Dior’s new Dior Addict gloss range has 24 juicy and succulent shades as well as three different effects, ranging from Pearly, Shimmery and Pure. Our favourite is Diablotine – it’s ice lolly bright but it won’t be melting off in the sun.

Available at www.houseoffraser.co.uk, £22

4. Chanel Le Volume De Chanel Mascara

New in the already legendary Chanel Jeaux de Regards collection is the Le Volume de Chanel Mascara. This is Chanel’s first volumising mascara, meaning this is not your run-of-the-mill tube o’ clump. Using their cylindrical ‘Snowflake’ brush, and smooth, surprisingly clean texture, Chanel has created a mascara that’s as innovative as their name. To celebrate the launch of this impressive little weapon, Chanel is hosting complimentary eye makeovers of their Jeaux de Regards collection at an exclusive booth at Selfridges from today through the 8^th of May.

Available in April www.selfridges.co.uk, £24

5. Smashbox Megatint Long Wear Lip Colour

Like us, your parched winter lips probably need a good dose of moisture. Enter Smashbox Megatint Long Wear Lip Colour, which has an incredibly lightweight formula that won’t peel off, unlike the flaky longwear lipsticks of old. But be careful: with six shades, choosing which colour to wear for the entire day will get a lot more difficult. It’s a hard job…

Available in April at www.smashbox.co.uk, £18

6. This Works In Transit Skin Defence

While our reaction after a dismal winter is to strip down and bask in the sunlight, we need to remember the sun can be as moody a bitch as winter winds, causing harm and damage to delicate skin. Luckily for us, the team at This Works know how to keep nature’s nastier side at bay with the In Transit Skin Defence Moisturiser. If your plans this summer include picnics, poolside lounges or bopping festivals, this lightweight formula is a must for your daily regiment. So get partying – just be skin safe.

Available in April at www.boots.co.uk, £40
