Ice- Cool And Polished To Perfection – How To Recreate The Hitchcock Heroine Look

Get super groomed and oh so sophisticated

Rebecca McKnight

Are you a fan of classic beauty looks? If so, why not channel the style of a Hitchcock heroine.

Hitchcock inspired looks are all about barely there beauty – think flawless skin, super groomed yet natural looking brows and a hint of lipstick and best of all it’s oh so easy to master. 

If you want to try and infuse your beauty look with a bit of Hitchcock style, we’ve turned to resident Her.ie beauty expert Aoibhinn McBride and asked her to put together the must-have beauty buys that every fan of the ladylike look should own.

Aoibhinn says:

Face:

For flawless looking skin, go for a foundation that gives an even, matte finish. Hitchcock’s leading ladies all had that classic peaches and cream complexion so we recommend a powder compact that covers up imperfections without looking too heavy.

Mac Studio Fix, €36

Blush:

A hint of colour on the cheeks is essential when creating a flawless complexion so a barely there sweep of pink or pale coral over the apples of your cheeks is a must. Plus, it will help create killer cheekbones to boot!


Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Mono Blush in Pink Rose, €4.49 

Eyes:

Long fluttering lashes are a beauty must, no matter what look you’re going for! A black volumising and lengthening mascara will frame your eyes and give that polished, timeless look.


Clinique, €19

Brows:

Thick, androgynous brows have dominated the catwalks for the last couple of seasons but this spring, arches are back and a more ladylike shape is taking centre stage! A good pencil will help fill in any gaps and help accentuate your natural shape.

Shavata, €10
