The makeup trends of today point towards vibrant color and expressive artistry, but there’s one look that beauty lovers always come back to: soft glam. There’s nothing like a go-to simple but flattering soft glam look that makes one feel pretty and confident, working with and enhancing their features rather than covering them up. Pinterest trends and aesthetics have completely taken over the makeup world and Baby Deer makeup has been all over our Explore pages, with Tate McRae’s look by makeup artist Kali Kennedy taking center stage.

Velvety Skin

Baby Deer makeup starts with a velvety-soft, flawless base. Opt for a satin-finish foundation or cushion to even out skin tone, texture and give the skin a natural radiance that isn’t overtly shiny or dewy–we’re leaving the blinding gleam to the later steps of the makeup.

Soft Sculpting

Bronzer used in this look is reminiscent of a baby deer’s fur, and works to bring warmth to the face. Applying it to the outer perimeter of the face not only mimics an actual baby deer’s natural coloring, but also acts as a frame to pull together the entire look. It provides your natural features with subtle structure in a makeup look that’s focused on softness and pure, demure aesthetic.

Barely-There Blush

The look focuses more on bronzing rather than blush, but a slight flush still graces the cheekbones. Find a beige or burnished hue to complement the sculpt and give the cheeks a warm flush, evoking the idea of a baby deer in a patch of sunlight, surrounded by blooming baby’s breath flowers.

Gleaming Highlight

One major aspect of Baby Deer makeup is the eye-catching highlight intentionally applied to the face, specifically drawing attention to the inner corners, tip of the nose and anywhere light would naturally hit. What makes this style of highlighter unique is that a very icy, almost white highlighter is needed in order to achieve the look. It contrasts against the bronze-y warmth swept over the perimeter of the face, bringing an ethereal glow that is utterly captivating.

Wide-Eyed Wonder

Big eyes are another integral feature of the Baby Deer look, using liner and mascara to get that doe-eye effect. Eyeliner serves to round and enlarge the eyes akin to a deer’s natural features, while mascara flares out the lashes for an alluring flutter.

Luscious Lips

Tate McRae’s version of Baby Deer makeup is topped off with a light glossy pout that finishes off the look perfectly. The water-like shine is effortlessly chic without taking away from the overall look. Think a dash of gloss over a peachy-nude lip liner that delivers volume and definition; fuss-free yet impactful.
