Though we can’t confirm it, the closest thing we have on this planet to a literal earthside angel is Lana Del Rey. The ethereal American singer and her whimsical signature style has captured the hearts of many since she broke into the industry back in 2011 with her hit single, Video Games.
Now, 13 years on, Lana is one of the world's most accomplished artists and style muses, sparking the interest of fashion’s most illustrious maisons, many inviting her to sit FROW at fashion week shows season after season.
Her most recent foray into the world of fashion saw her take to the cobblestone streets of Paris, accompanied by her alligator tour guide husband, Jeremy Dufrene and photographer sister, Caroline Grant.

Opting for a red and white striped balloon-sleeved top and a pair of barrel-leg tan cargo pants, Lana proved casual can be utterly chic when styled right.
Because her look was so laid back, her makeup artist, Pamela Cochrane, made sure to go all out on glam, using a selection of tailored products that’s easier than ever to recreate at home.

Here’s everything she used to bring Lana’s Zimmerman FROW look to life:
Step 1: Tranquillity Water Activating Mist - a mist of hydration to activate and prime the skin.
Step 2: Morning Dew Vitamin C Serum - to brighten up the skin.
Step 3: Cocoon Ceramide Cream - hydrates and provides a soft cushiony base.
Step 4: Sun Milk Drops SPF50 - for a lightweight, blurring base.

There’s no denying that Lana Del Rey has never looked better than how she does right now, and we have a sneaky suspicion that it's partly down to her being in love, doing what she loves and using high-performance skincare.
