Bella Hadid's makeup kit is kind of chaotic

After spending far too much time researching Bella Hadid's skin care routine and learning about her 'skin before makeup' ethos, we thought the model's makeup routine would be somewhat minimal. 

But after watching Hadid apply a full face in the front seat of her car in a recent TikTok video, we've come to understand her attitude to makeup is anything but. 

"We're not really sure what we're doing, but we're just going to figure it out together — pretty much every day I'm just trying to figure it out," she shared via TikTok. "It's so sad. I've been taught by the best people in the world how to do makeup — I still don't get it."

Considering this is the same person who popularised jaw highlighting a few years ago, we're not surprised Hadid likes to play with absolutely every single product in her makeup collection. Her chaotic routine is a refreshing mix of affordable and luxury products, there aren't any gimmicky or viral cult favourites to be found, and she appears to hoard makeup until she's finished it completely.

In fact, we spotted a Kylie Cosmetics On The Wild Side eyeshadow palette (which enjoyed a limited release in 2020 to coincide with Jenner's birthday) in her kit. As well as, a limited edition lip gloss from a Kylie and Kendall collaboration in 2021, that Hadid says is one of the best lip glosses ever. 

But that's not all we spied in her makeup collection...

What foundation does Bella Hadid wear every day?

Hadid applied Rhode's Barrier Butter as a primer off camera before she kicked off her TikTok makeup tutorial. Unfortunately it's not yet available in Australia, although we have found a pretty plausible dupe for it here. 

"What I've just found recently, which I love is this Clinique [Moisture Surge Sheertint Hydrator SPF25] ($62 from Clinique)," Hadid shared via TikTok. "It's just a really good tinted moisturiser that evens out my skin, and then I usually don't even wear foundation over this."

"We look like we just went to the beach!," she said, admiring her bronzed glow.

Then she pulled out the next product from her makeup bag: "My love, my everything, my Make Up For Ever Palette ($145 from Sephora)."

Hadid applied a mixture of a lighter and tan toned complexion shade from the palette under her eyes with a fluffy brush. Then she pressed the product into her skin with her fingers to diffuse it for a natural finish, and spot concealed using the same combination of skin-like shades. Followed by a dash of Milani's Conceal + Perfect 2-In-1 Foundation + Concealer ($18.89 from Priceline) to even out her skin tone.

What bronzer does Bella Hadid use?

Looking bronzed and contoured is kind of Hadid's thing, but if you were expecting her sculpted visage to be the result of a single product you can think again.

The model messily applied stripes of the Fenty Beauty Match Stix Matte Contour Skinstick ($49 from Sephora) right on top of her cheek bones, above her brows, and along her jawline. Then she buffed it in to her skin haphazardly with a complexion brush, and set it with some banana powder from Laura Mercier ($86 from MECCA).

Next, she revealed a Hourglass Ambient® Lighting Bronzer ($96 from MECCA) that she's had "for a very long time". Using a large fluffy brush, she traced her contour with it, and then deepened the colour with a layer of Giorgio Armani's Luminous Silk Glow Fusion Powder ($150 from Sephora).

How does Bella Hadid do her eyebrows?

Hadid had thin eyebrows before it was cool, and we suspect she'll keep making the trend look good for years to come. 

"My eyebrows are definitely not twins — they are sisters," she joked, defining them with a few strokes of Covergirl's Clean Fresh Brow Nano Pencil ($10.97 from Priceline), and accentuating her arch with Fenty Beauty's Killawatt Freestyle Highlighter ($61 from Fenty Beauty).

Then she smoked out her lash line with a muted cool brown shade from the aforementioned Kylie Cosmetics On The Wild Side eyeshadow palette. 

"I'm actually obsessed with this older Kylie [palette]," she explained. "[I'm] obsessed with just taking a little bit of a brown and just wrapping it on my waterline." 

If you haven't hoarded the leopard print palette in your collection like Hadid, we really rate the Make Up For Ever Artist Color Shadow Refill in the shade 'M-631' ($13.80 from Sephora) for a similar finish. Follow it up with a few coats of mascara too — Hadid used Covergirl's Lashblast Clean Mascara ($12.99 from Chemist Warehouse).

What lip product does Bella Hadid use?

Hadid relies on Hailey Bieber's favourite lip liner — Make Up For Ever Artist Color Pencil in the shade 'Anywhere Caffeine' ($28 from The Iconic) — for defining her pout. 

"This is one of my favourite lip liners," she explained, running the blunt pencil round the edges of her lips.

"Then, randomly I was going through my storage and I found this,' she shared, flashing a tube of the Kendall By Kylie Cosmetics Collection High Gloss in the shade 'Can I Borrow That?'.

"[Kendall] always slays — this is actually one of the best lip glosses ever," she said.

Although the lip gloss is now discontinued, it's strikingly similar to Kylie Cosmetics' Gloss Drip in 'Soft Spoken' ($20 from Kylie Cosmetics), which Kendall Jenner recently called one of her handbag essentials. 

"It's so nice! Although it's called Gloss Drip, to me, it really stays on nicely," Jenner explained to FWRD. "It has a little [burgundy] tint — so I like wearing it."
