Daughter of Pavlos, Prince of Greece, and Marie-Chantal Miller, Olympia of Greece has established herself as one of the most acclaimed style references of the new generation. And it’s no wonder, as she has managed to build a sophisticated, modern, and relaxed image at the same time, where beauty trends coexist within a natural elegance that does not look contrived. We see her on fashion runways, at all kinds of events, and at them, the princess tends to opt for makeup that enhances her features without overdoing. One of the elements that stand out the most? Her lips.
They look juicy, defined and with a fresh finish that manages to attract all eyes without resorting to tones that draw too much attention. How does she achieve it? Enhancing her natural tone with the help of complementary hues such as dusty pinks, rosy nudes, or caramels. Unlike matte or opaque lip products, satin or glossy finishes add dimension and make them appear more voluminous.
In an interview with Le Banana, Olympia confessed that she doesn’t have much skill, and that is why she prefers to resort to the basic steps when applying makeup. In other words, she uses eyeliner and mascara, a little foundation when she needs it, and a lip product. Nothing more, nothing less. Now, if you ask her what her essential staple is, she will always tell you that gloss. It is her best ally.
How to recreate Olympia of Greece’s mirror effect
Kayali Hydrating Balm.
Step one: Hydrating balm. Trust me, you need it to smooth the surface. And this one from Kayali is one of the best. I have been using them for several weeks, and I have rarely achieved such a comfortable feel. It isn’t sticky and provides up to 8 hours of hydration.
8H Lip liner from Sephora Collection.
Step two: lip liner. Personally, I like them a little darker than the natural shade. The royal approach favours the closest shade. 8H Lip liner from Sephora Collection is one of the most versatile, and you will love it for its ultra-creamy texture. It is waterproof, heat- and humidity-resistant and does not transfer. Not much more can be asked of it.
Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer.
Step three: lipstick or gloss. You can opt for a creamy lipstick or a colored gloss. I recommend Fenty Beauty Gloss Bomb Universal Lip Luminizer. It’s my favorite, as it provides intense shine without a sticky feel. It contains shea butter to keep lips soft and hydrated and adapts to any lip shade.
Perfect skin in three additional steps
NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer.
As you know, makeup doesn’t end at a single area; you need to see the final result. One thing we’ve learned from Olympia’s royal makeup is that it is straightforward, which is why the step four is concealer. This one from NARS is her favorite, or at least that’s what she said in an interview with The Zoe Report. And it’s no wonder. NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer has a beautifully buildable coverage and a very natural radiance that helps wake up the eyes without hardening the features. Moreover, its creamy formula prevents that dry, cakey look that many concealers leave after hours.
Lash Sensational Sky High.
Step five: mascara. According to the same interview, one of her favourites is Maybelline’s Great Lash. It isn’t available in Spain, but one of our favorites from the brand is Lash Sensational Sky High. They leave them with a lot of volume, separated, without clumps, and conditioned. Therefore, you will have a stunning gaze.
Pocket Bronze by Rhode
Step six: bronzer. If it’s a cream bronzer so you can blend it more easily, even better. Since no trend is left behind, I recommend one of the best-sellers Pocket Bronze by Rhode. Its texture is pleasant, its finish enhances the skin tone, and it’s quite comfortable. Plus, you can modulate the finish.
