In fact, as Niamh Quinn, the make-up artist behind Ronan’s understated beauty look on British Vogue’s November 2024 cover, explains, “she’s just not conscious [of what she looks like]... I mean, she would barely look in the mirror. She’s truly herself; it’s really extraordinary.”Drawing upon photographer Jack Davison’s natural approach to “people and skin and character in life”, Quinn orchestrated Ronan’s beauty look with a very light touch. “I would never consider covering parts of the skin – we have a look at them, and if it’s a spot that needs to be concealed, we will.”Proving the gentle power of natural skin texture and tone, Ronan is captured with her freckles out in full force in the photos – and looks incredibly beautiful. While, in recent years, freckles have become a symbol of youth and time spent in the sunshine, they’re rarely highlighted in such an overt way in a magazine shoot. Most of the time, they get covered up to some degree, and then a few are highlighted over the bridge of the nose – as per the latest faux freckle trend.To enhance and celebrate Ronan’s skin in all its glory, Quinn used Chanel’s Les Beiges Touche de Teint sparingly, along with Laura Mercier’s Secret Camouflage Concealer, but only in specific areas. “Then, I refreshed her skin with Omorovicza’s Queen of Hungary Mist throughout the day.” Instead of disguising Ronan’s freckles, meanwhile, she enhanced them using an eyebrow pencil.Laura Mercier Secret Camouflage ConcealerChanel Les Beiges Water-Fresh Complexion TouchWorking with Davison on creating thoroughly “textural” images, Quinn then juxtaposed Ronan’s freckled skin with a “punch of colour” courtesy of a bespoke mix of acid-orange and basic-red MAC lipstick pigments. “I pressed a powder on top to create a velvet texture against her luminous, raw skin,” she says.Shot in the gardens of an old Georgian manor in southeast London’s Deptford, Quinn says the shoot was a lot of fun. “In fact, I’ve worked with Saoirse quite a bit since, and she has said it was the most fun she’s ever had on a shoot,” Quinn says. “It was the kind of world you really don’t want to leave at the end of the day.”</div></body>
