There may be some who treat travel as a way to zoom through the bucket list and every possible tourist spot. But there are those who love to travel not simply to be there, but to see, experience, and feel the place, the moment, and let themselves linger.

Just like the Romantic, who takes in every destination with a softer eye, and that extends to her beauty choices. Read on to see how The Romantic finds beauty in the little moments, finding a story worth falling for in every city.

The Romantic

Beauty reveals itself in her face, blushing and falling. Makeup artist Lala Flores use the Huda Beauty Ruby Obsessions Eyeshadow Palette for the eyes, paired with Strokes Crush Blush in So Fab for the cheeks, layered with the Charlotte Tilbury Glowgasm palette for added glow, and MAC Lip Pencil in Auburn and Dior Rouge Sequin Lipstick in 892 for the lips. Hairstylist JA Feliciano curled the hair into cascading waves. In the city, she slows down and pays attention to people, places, and moments that may otherwise be unnoticed.

Softly glowing

In a quiet room, beauty flourishes intimately. It soon becomes a relationship between a woman and the way she sees herself and the world. There is something poetic about seeing life through rose-colored glasses, where features soften, colors become richer, and the most beautiful stories of romance unfold upon the face.
