In partnership with YSL Beauty
Sometimes, getting ready to go out is better than the night itself. The music, the rituals, time spent on hair, makeup, choosing an outfit... Just ask Natalia Sirotina. The model and creative is a fan of statement eyes, bronzer and beauty circa the 90s. She appreciates a good makeup look, even more so when there's an entire night outstretched in front of her. Together with YSL Beauty, step into her bathroom while she moves through some after dark makeup looks, and her very best advice for perfecting the art of getting ready.

Give a nod to the 90s
"My favourite makeup era is the 90s. Matte, bronzed skin, brown or nude lip colours and subtle eye makeup. I feel like it’s timeless."
Pay tribute to the supermodel era with a sweep of YSL Beauty All Hours Hyper Bronzer under the cheekbones, the temples and across the forehead. For contrast, brighten the skin with the makeup formula that defined the 90s, Touche Éclat. The concealer-brightener hybrid is creamy and weightless, counteracting darkness and shadows with ease. Use the click-brush applicator and apply around the eyes, the top of the cheeks, the bridge of the nose and cupid's bow before blending with your fingers or a sponge.
Go for gloss
Nothing beats a good lip after dark. YSL Beauty Loveshine serves up gloss in spades, plus creamy pigment that's easy to maintain. The innovative formula transforms from a classic lipstick to a wet-look oil, imparting a glassy finish that's bold but hydrating. It's enriched with six nourishing oils, as well as fig from YSL's Ourika Community Garden in Morocco for long-lasting hydration. Natalia loves shade 210, Passion Red.
Focus on the eyes
"The last product that I bought was the trusty Lash Clash Mascara in Brown. It's perfect."
Natalia loves a statement eye. Blend shades of pink burgundy and gold on the eyelid and lash line (she's using the Couture Colour Clutch Eyeshadow Palette in Desert Nude), extending beyond the outer corner. Pair with a Lash Clash in brown for a soft but smoky finish. The iconic mascara formula is formulated with a large conical brush to deliver +200% volume and an all-night smudge-proof finish.
