How-To: Get Lana Del Rey's Retro Makeup With Our Guide From Illamasqua's Mika Johnson

GALLERY >> A Step By Step Guide To Lana's Look

We LOVE Lana Del Rey’s makeup in the Barbarella-style H&M ads! It’s a contemporary retro look that’s been worn by celebs like Adele, Madonna and Cheryl Cole and it's surprisingly wearable and glamorously fresh. It’s our new fave look for going out!

Wanna try it? Graziette Kate Lloyd met with Illamasqua’s Mika Johnson, to find out how to get Lana’s style. Mika said that Lana’s look is a sculptural mix of contour and highlight. The key element is ‘60’s style eyeliner with modern techniques’. Unlike the harsh whites of the 60’s, Lana’s eyes are surrounded by softer, pinker brown hues that blend well.

Here’s Mika’s step-by-step guide to getting a wearable but still oh-so Lana face.
