Of all the powerful and effortlessly trendy It girls we've featured here onBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , there's one who's risen to the forefront of the Parisian runways, red carpet events, and street fashion while remaining a woman of mystery: the lovely Lily-Rose Depp. Now we've also highlighted a number of stylish individuals who have created a platform for themselves based entirely on their association with a famous family member, friend, or partner (often receiving the notorious label nepo babies).
Nepo baby or not, this woman has a huge pull in the world of fashion and has established a reputation as the ultimate player in French-and-American style, becoming an icon of her own merit. We're highlighting our favorite Lily-Rose Depp makeup moments over the past couple of years that we can't stop thinking about and telling you how to create them using products by French brands. Keep reading to find out which ones are taking up real estate in our minds.
Bronze Smoky Eyes
One thing we can always count on Depp to do is wear an ultra-chic smoky wing well. At Chanel Metiers D'Art 2019/20 show at Paris's Le Grand Palais, she was spotted pairing her smoky wings with a dusting of bronze shadow on the eyelids and just underneath the waterline. We expect nothing less from one of the newest faces of the French heritage brand.
To replicate this, opt for an eye shadow palette that offers a shimmering bronze shade like Chanel's limited-edition Les 4 Rouge Yeux Jones Palette. Described by the brand as "exploring every nuance of red," the palette features four powder shades in matte and satin finishes that can be applied to the eyes and cheeks for added, depth, warmth, and illumination.
The Perfect Pout
In 2019, the French model and actress attended the Met Gala in this 1992 vintage Chanel LBD. While all eyes were definitely drawn to the ornate frock, we wouldn't be true beauty enthusiasts if we didn't take time to highlight her ethereal makeup look featuring the prettiest pouty lip with a satin finish.
To pull off Depp's 2019 Met Gala look, reach for your favorite pink cashmere-colored lipstick. If not exactly the shade she's wearing in the picture above, Chanel's Rouge Allure Luminous Lip Color in the shade Illusion may be a close match. You can apply it directly to the lips, or for a more defined look, pair it with the brand's Le Crayon Lèvres Longwear Lip Pencil.
Sultry Eyeliner
We can't talk about the Depp's smoky eyes without mentioning her affinity for eyeliner. Captured here with Parisian celeb hairstylist Alexandry Costa, she wears a sultry makeup look that features eyeliner applied to the upper and outer rims of the eyes and then swept beneath the waterline resembling kohl.
Make this look yours by using a deeply saturated pencil eyeliner in black to carefully lining the eyes without smoking them out. Lately, we've been loving this eyeliner by luxury makeup brand Chantecaille. It features a silky-smooth formula that, in a single swipe, melts into the lash line for a full and eye-enhancing look that lasts.
Face-Framing Brows
Thanks to her ridiculously good genes (her parents are actor Johnny Depp and French model Vanessa Paradis), Depp was blessed with gorgeous bold eyebrows. They always brilliantly frame her face, highlighting her deep-set eyes and bringing out her high cheekbones. Try as you might, but you won't find a pic of her on the internet without her eyebrows done.
A good, reliable eyebrow pencil to keep your eyebrows in check can be hard to find. Luckily, La Bouche Rouge, an environmentally friendly French brand, has created our new favorite to get Depp's look. Made in France in Hesdin-l'Abbé on the Opal Coast, the pencils are crafted with castor oil, squalane, and vitamin E.
Neutral Tones
While we love to see Depp pretty in pink, her neutral moments are just as iconic. While sitting front row at the Chanel womenswear S/S 22 show, she wears this effortless neutral makeup look that leaves her absolutely glowing.
To copy this look, we love La Bouche Rouge's Lip Pencil in the shade Nude Brown. It's enriched with natural origin ingredients (including castor oil and Vitamin E to help preserve the hydration of your lips) and offers long-lasting radiant color. The shade looks especially gorgeous on light to medium skin tones.
Flirty Wings
We'll never say no to flirty winged-out eyeliner like Depp wore at the Chanel womenswear S/S 21 show. If her classic Chanel pink tweed set and floral bralette weren't enough to steel the show, she also completely won us over with this high-fashion makeup look that has her winged eyeliner front and center.
Create the perfect winged eyeliner look by using a waterproof liquid liner like this one from Lancôme. It features a precise felt tip with a satin-black color that lasts all day without smudging or fading for a Lily-Rose Depp worthy fierce look that you can rely on.
Playful Pinks
We can never get enough pink, and neither can Depp in this shot from her 20th birthday. She matches her blush-toned lacy camisole and birthday sash with an equally pink makeup look.
Get ready to break out the blush if you're planning on re-creating this sweet makeup look. For a healthy, natural-looking finish, opt for a blush with a water-base like Chanel's trending Les Beiges Water-Fresh Blush.
Sculpted Cheeks
Whenever Depp steps on the red carpet, we can expect her to bring a major amount of glamour. When she walked the red carpet at the premier of her film The King (in which she stared opposite Timothée Chalamet), her stunning cheekbones were beyond sharp and sculpted.
If you're looking for a way to play up your cheekbones or any other part of your visage, a bronzer will be your best friend. Take this one from Dior for example: It's a limited-edition long-wear bronzer formulated with 95% mineral-origin pigments to bring some natural-looking color to the skin where you need it.
Pastel Hues
Another look we've fallen in love with from Depp? Her youthful pink number at the 2021 Met Gala. She matched her two-piece sequined Chanel number with her eye makeup and blush in a powdery pink tone that would make Barbie herself jealous.
Chantecaille's new limited-edition Wild Meadows Eye Quartet features a nearly identical shade of pastel pink that would look beautiful swept across the eyelids for an extra pop of color. To fully re-create Depp's look, consider incorporating a blush in a matching shade.
Siren Eyes
This wouldn't be a Lily-Rose Depp makeup story without mentioning her huge role in the siren-eyes trend that took over TikTok over the spring and summer of 2022. (If you're interested in learning more about the trend, read all about it here.) Depp plays up the mystery with long, full lashes as the finishing touch for every makeup look.
To pull off any Depp-inspired look, we'll be using an ultra-pigmented mascara to give our lashes that wow factor. La Bouche Rouge's Mascara Le Serum Noir, the first mascara made from 100% recycled glass and developed without plastic, is one of our go-tos.
