Aside from being a global fashion icon, Heart Evangelista has also delivered a number of hair and beauty inspirations. Here, we revisit her best beauty moments
“I’ve learned that although life may not always be beautiful, it’s who you are and who you end up becoming that makes you truly beautiful,” Heart Evangelista once said in her book This is Me, Love Marie. The tastemaker, who turns 38 today, matured to become one of the most celebrated global fashion personalities in the industry—but fashion is not just what she is known for. In fact, the pop-culture archives can attest that she is also a true beauty icon.
Fans have witnessed her grow up from a kikay teen star to a remarkable woman. Apart from her hardwork and dedication to her craft, her work ethic helped her shape her success. “Heart’s easy to work with. [She’s] funny and creative,” celebrity makeup artist Justin Soriano told MEGA back in 2022. And as she celebrates her birthday, what better time than now to revisit some of her best beauty moments? Below, we explore Heart Evangelista’s notable hair and makeup looks throughout the years.
Chic lob
Heart Evangelista’s recent hair edit can’t be missed. During this year’s Paris Haute Couture Week, the global fashion icon debuted her textured long bob and curtain bangs. It’s fair to say that it’s one of the best hair transformations the beauty sphere has ever seen. A textured long bob makes the perfect choice for anyone who’s looking for a style that can render a soft dimension. Apart from that, it can also be easily customized with face-framing fringes.
Burgundy lipsticks
It appears that a burgundy lip shade is starting to become more synonymous with Heart Evangelista’s beauty direction. In fact, the hue can be easily spotted in her recent posts. But who can blame her? It’s a new power color. The burgundy spectrum is the perfect modern segue for the patrons of the ‘90s grunge category that renders the right statement and effortlessly captures attention. The shade also surprisingly flatters every skin tone, which makes it easy to play with warmer or cooler variations.
Balayage affair
Of course, Heart Evangelista’s ash-brown balayage era can’t be left unmentioned. In March 2022, the artist donned her lightest hair shade ever. It served as a break from her oscillation between her usual black and deep brown spectrum. Moreover, her hair transformation included a melange of a caramel base and a layer of an ash mushroom shade that renders a soft contrasting look. Elevate this look with a color combination that suits your complexion best.
French girl fringe
Heart Evangelista’s take on a modern fringe encapsulates a true French beauty appeal. It’s quite comparable to birkin bangs, but with a wispier and lighter finish. As mentioned previously, fringe haircuts are one of the most requested haircuts of the season because of their versatility and transformation quality. After all, the category offers numerous iterations to complement any length, texture, and personality.
Shimmered eyeshadow
It’s undeniable that a swish of a blue-shimmered eyeshadow creates the right amount of statement—just take a cue from Heart Evangelista. Here, her makeup is kept minimal with a radiant base and nude lipstick, which made her eyelids the main focus of her overall look. And although a colored palette is not a part of her daily beauty rotation, she proved that it can be equally chic. Add your own take on the look and opt for a hue that feels more true to you.
Micro bangs
Heart Evangelista’s micro bangs will always be a perennial inspiration in the hair department. In 2019, the global fashion icon exhibited her trip to Paris Fashion Week. Standout detail? Her micro bangs. It’s a fringe that takes inspiration from Audrey Hepburn’s signature style. Yes, it might look daunting, but this editorial fringe adds just the right flare to any haircut. It can also be reimagined into a number of iterations to suit anyone, but this specific length works best on long and oval faces.
Clean girl aesthetic
“2010 self—young, wild, and free (and super tanned),” Heart Evangelista captioned in a post. Beauty fans can easily notice her enamor for minimal makeup. In this photo, her skin was minimally enhanced with a swish of blush while her lips were kept moisturized with a balm. It’s fair to say that she became one of the early blueprints of the clean girl aesthetic, which makes her a true beauty icon since the beginning of her career.
