Contour your way onto the catwalk! Beauty guru transforms herself into the spitting image of model Gigi Hadid using nothing but make-up
- Beauty guru Alyona Yarushina used 11 make-up products, and her contouring skills, to make herself look just like Gigi, 20
- The Russian-born, US-based beauty expert’s clip has gained over 82,000 views on YouTube
A popular YouTube beauty guru has harnessed the power of contouring and cosmetics to transform herself into model-of-the-moment Gigi Hadid.
Alyona Yarushina, who is from Russia, but is currently based in the US, has blond hair and blue eyes like Gigi, but her transformation into the catwalk star still required 11 make-up products and six different make-up brushes.
Before beginning the process, the vlogger, who is known as Aly Art on YouTube, studied, and even critiqued Gigi's facial shape and features. She notes in the video, for example, that the model has a square jaw, a flat chin, high brows and small eyes

After applying a base layer of foundation, Alyona first patted concealer around her eyes to downplay their size.
Next, she used a dark brown powder along her hairline to mimic Gigi's small, rounded and often tanned forehead. She buffed it in with a fluffy brush for a natural finish.
The make-up magician also used the contouring method to achieve Gigi's rounded cheeks by painting the dark powder from the tops of her ears to below the apples of her cheeks. Alyona then switched to a thin brush to draw lines on the side of her nose for a thinning effect. She dabbed concealer on her nostrils to 'lift' her nose.
She also used concealer to cover her own eye brows before drawing on arched Gigi-esque brows with MAC eye shadow in Charcoal Brown.

Getting there: Alyona made her eyes look further apart a la Gigi's by creating a smoky eye and focusing the product on the outer corner of her eyes
'All I have to do for my eyes is pull them away from each other,' says Alyona in the video, noting that Gigi's are much further apart than her own. To do this, she created a smoky eye, applying a dark bronze shadow in the outer corners of her eyes and then pulling the product out towards her temples using an eye shadow brush. She also applied mascara only on the outer lashes to contribute to the overall effect.
Alyona even honed in on areas of 'puffiness' on Gigi's face, using a white pencil to draw lines on her chin and along her frown lines.
The finishing touch was the lips, which Alyona says are 'down-turned' like hers, though bigger, requiring an outline of lip liner.
With the mind-bending final look, she jokes, she could trick Zayn Malik, the model's singer boyfriend, into thinking that she's Gigi.
