What Is The Coquette Look?
Think natural skin, flushed cheeks, pretty washes of pastel tones, frosted finishes and pearly highlighters but with a flick of a winged eye and dramatic lashes (a la Lana Del Rey) to give it a modern, slightly tougher twist. It’s a romantic, youthful look that is universally flattering. Opt for cream textures, petal-soft shades and dewy finishes for a doe-eyed look.
