Breaking down Julia Fox’s cover girl glam, and the products you’ll need to recreate it.
Grunge glam icon, internet phenom and fashion provocateur Julia Fox has never been one to shy away from an experimental makeup moment (see: her signature ultra-black “Fox eye”). On FASHION’s April 2024 cover, Fox ditches her heavy liner and barely-there brows for a pastel cut crease, skinny brown brows and a juicy pout — a more pared-back, yet still playful approach to glam for the Uncut Gems actress.
Painted by makeup artist Jezz Hill, Fox flaunts a sharp-winged bubblegum pink and lilac eyeshadow look with just-pinched cheeks and an ever-so-slightly brown lip. Her hair? Smoothed straight and styled by John Novotny. If you’ve got Fox’s cover look saved for future inspiration (don’t we all?), scroll on for the products you’ll need to recreate this makeup look from her FASHION spread.
Pink eyeshadow
Delivering intense pigment in a single swipe, About Face’s new-to-Canada Matte Fluid Eye Paint is just the product you’ll want to play with when recreating Fox’s sugary pink lids. Pop the shade “On Pointe” onto the inner half of your eye as the base of the look.
Purple eyeshadow
To help nail that sharp slash of purple shadow on the outer V of your eye, opt for an eyeshadow stick. Maybelline’s “I Am Fearless” shaded Color Tattoo Eye Stix will blend seamlessly into your pink base, and stay put for up to 24 hours.
Brow pencil
Whether they’ve been bleached or plucked ultra-thin, Fox’s eyebrows have long been a topic of conversation among beauty enthusiasts. Use a pencil with a precise tip like Byredo’s All-In-One Refillable Brow Pencil to replicate her super-skinny, arched brows from our cover shoot.
Glossy brown lipstick
A re-imagination of YSL Beauty’s OG Rouge Volupté Shine Lipstick Balm, the brand’s just-dropped LoveShine Lip Oil Stick boasts a brand-new look and even more hydration.
With the “colour of a lipstick” and the “slip of an oil,” the shade “Scenic Brown” offers the most subtle kiss of chocolate colour topped off with a creamy shine finish like Fox’s lip look.
Pink blush
“Just Enough” is one of the newest shades of Patrick Ta’s Major Beauty Headlines Double-Take Crème and Powder Blush Duos, and it lends itself perfectly to this bubblegum glam. For maximum colour payoff, follow the Patrick Ta technique by layering the crème over the powder.
Hair oil
On our cover, the Down the Drain author’s red lengths are sleek, straight, and shiny. A few pumps of Ouai’s ama-oil-infused Hair Oil smoothed over the ends of your strands will give you the same high-gloss finish.
Plus, it protects against heat up to 232 degrees Celsius if you need to make a few touch-ups with your flat iron.
