Hailey Baldwin recently took to [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolly-parton-2) to announce that she is teaming up with the Australian beauty brand ModelCo to launch a new makeup line. While Baldwin has largely made a name for herself through modeling, now the 19-year-old It Girl is lending her talents to the beauty industry.

According to a recent press release, Baldwin's new makeup line will combine "quality and femininity for a photo-finish-inspired look and feel." This largely refers to premium formulas in photo filter-esque hues. The new products will also draw inspiration from Baldwin's own personal style, which is both edgy and modern.

The new ModelCo collection is likely to appeal to [young, social media-savvy consumers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rhode-launches-in-sephora) eager to emulate current style icons.
