If you’ve been keeping tabs on supermodel Gigi Hadid, then you’ll know she’s one busy lady. Whether she’s flitting between the runways of Paris, New York, and Milan, playing with two-year-old daughter Khai, or promoting her newest TV show Next in Fashion with Queer Eye's Tan France, she's always on the go.

Last night Gigi treated her 77 million Instagram followers to a snap of her latest beauty look – think feathery lashes, a flawless complexion and a vibrant orange-meets-red lip - a get-up she combined with a fittingly dramatic off-shoulder dress by Alexander McQueen.

The make-up artist responsible behind the look? Patrick Ta. Patrick, whose A-Lister clients also include Emily Ratajkowski, Camila Cabello and Miranda Kerr, regularly shares full beauty breakdowns of his celebrity looks on his social media channels. And, luckily for us, Gigi’s was no exception. Taking to TikTok, Patrick posted a 'get ready with me' video that unsurprisingly, reeled in a slew of praise from beauty buffs eager to get in on the action.

Gigi and Patrick revealed the foundation behind her full-glam flawless complexion was actually a £5.99 bargain – the Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation to be exact. The mattifying formula is available in an impressive 40 shades and, according to countless reviews, is a tonic for anyone prone to oiliness who wants to swerve shine.

And while it's worth noting that Gigi is a Maybelline beauty ambassador - there's no denying that this drugstore number is already something of a cult favourite - it's already a must for beauty editors and influencers alike.

Made with blurring micro-powers, Maybelline’s Fit Me Matte + Poreless Liquid Foundation Cover is a dream for who want to swerve shine. It’s medium coverage, but those who prefer a fuller finish can layer up à la Gigi – and be rest assured, it’s never cakey_._

Gigi has got her hands on the new Falsies Surreal Lashes Mascara by Maybelline, a mascara inspired by salon lash extensions. The bad news? You’ll have to mark your diary for April, when it officially launches in the UK. In the meantime, for similar volume and length opt for this one – its beautifully buildable and the curved wand makes for nifty application.
