The blurred lip trend has truly taken the world of celebrity by storm: Oscar winner Jessie Buckley, Chase Infiniti, Charli xcx, Mia Goth, and Love Story’s Sarah Pidgeon have all sported the soft Cupid’s bow and feathered lip line. Romantic and real-feeling, it subsumed Q1’s interest in the harder shapes and shades of 2016 beauty to triumph as the style of a modern day it-girl. Amal Clooney, queen of classic beauty and glamour, has decided to test it out.

Stepping out in Milan for a Cartier event, Clooney looked as sleek and chic as ever: wearing a black boatneck top, a croc-effect leather pencil skirt cinched at the waist with a belt by Elie Saab, and rounded square sunglasses, her makeup was radiant. “I wanted the makeup to be soft with very earth tones,” says celebrity makeup artist and hair stylist Dimitris Giannetos, who used Charlotte Tilbury products to achieve the look, “a touch of color on the cheek and lip.”
