Nobody is better at being a musical chameleon than Charli xcx<\/a>. Just when you think you\u2019ve got her figured out and think she\u2019s going left, she turns the corner and goes right. After the unparalleled success of Brat<\/a><\/em> and casually writing a whole album for Wuthering Heights<\/em><\/a>, she dropped the cheeky under-two-minute single \u201cRock Music<\/a>.\u201d While her sound is always subject to change, her makeup is decidedly always her, as she tells NYLON: \u201cIt\u2019s still just me. I like to do my makeup depending on how I feel that day, and that\u2019s what I\u2019m continuing to do.\u201d Her latest move, right in step with her rock-music era, is joining forces with YSL Beauty<\/a> as its newest ambassador.<\/p>\n

She introduced a new vision both sonically and aesthetically with the \u201cRock Music\u201d video, sporting a dark oil-slick eye look to get in the grunge mood. It feels new for the moment, but as she tells me, it\u2019s been a lifelong thing: \u201cWhen I was younger, I was experimenting with huge black eyes.\u201d Her True Romance<\/em> era comes to mind, with its punk-pop tendencies and the early 2010s feel of heavy-handed eyeliner, black mesh tops, and lined lips. The \u201cRock Music\u201d video is that girl, all grown up: \u201cI still do that now, so I haven\u2019t even left that behind me.\u201d In contrast, she had a fresh-faced moment in the video as well, telling me she likes to do nothing on her eye with clear skin. YSL Beauty helped her get there in the video, and they made things official with a campaign shot in New York by Renell Medrano.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe played around with some amazing makeup looks with Sam Visser, who is such an incredible makeup artist,\u201d Charli says. \u201cI love his work. I\u2019ve been able to work with him a couple of times in the past, but it was fun to have him create these looks specifically for the campaign.\u201d The campaign sees Charli showing off YSL Beauty\u2019s new hero product that got its unofficial debut on her and Alex Consani at the Met Gala<\/a>: the <\/strong>Skin Affair Soft Glow Cushion Foundation. All the luminosity a party girl deserves comes in the medium-coverage cushion, which comes in 31 shades that melt into the skin and get rid of any mid-party complexion woes. Visser contrasts the angelic base with a classically YSL Beauty smoky eye that\u2019s right in step with Charli\u2019s trusted look over the years: a little imperfect yet completely intentional.<\/p>\n
