Brushed-up brows. Nearly-bare eyes. Neutral nails. And full matte red lips that steal the show. Gigi Hadid serves as the perfect beauty inspiration of the day in a shoot by Max Abadian for ELLE Canada. The soon-to-be Victoria’s Secret star and Instagram celebrity was given just a light shimmer of white powder at the inner eye and a few lashings of mascara, keeping the lips…

Another Max Abadian-photographed campaign from Blush lingerie worthy of your distraction. Hannah Davis and Ryan Carney star.
