Yesterday, Bella Hadid turned 21 years old, an event that kicked off with some mandatory morning primping on Instagram—and ended with a special celebratory dinner. In honor of the latter occasion, the supermodel stepped out with sister Gigi in New York City, the duo debuting contrasting beauty looks that proved why a sibling can provide the ultimate hair and makeup foil, while playing to each girl's individual strengths.

For Gigi, a center-separated blonde updo was defined by angelic face-framing loose tendrils and eyes edged in metallic silver that echoed the cool-toned luster of her cornflower blue corseted look. And what better pairing for ice than an infusion of Hadid family fire? A rimming of warm and radiant copper shadow pulled focus to Bella's almond-shaped gaze, her sleek dark ponytail swinging over the straps of her little black dress as the sisters strode hand in hand.

As for the crossover notes? Luminous, well-tended skin—courtesy of lit-from-within, sun-kissed complexions and exposed shoulders—and swipes of pink lip gloss gave a common thread to their perfect pairing. The lesson? Rather than simply matching, the best twinning beauty looks are best carried off with artfully coordinated palettes—and a dash of elemental strategy.
