The talent behind Emma Stone's Met Gala hair and makeup share how to achieve "The Amazing Spiderman" star's striking beauty look:

The Hair: "Undone" Chignon

Celebrity stylist Mara Rosznak explains: "I wanted to balance Emma’s dress, which had a beautiful maturity to it, with hair that felt modern and soft.

To recreate this style, first apply Kérastase Mousse Volumactive all over towel-dried hair, along with Kérastase Spray Volumactive at the roots for extra volume.

Next, part hair to the side and rough dry the hair for a natural wavy texture. Gently pull hair back into a low messy chignon and pin in place, criss-crossing the pins as they go in.

Finally, let a few pieces fall down around the face for a soft whimsical look and finish the look by spraying hair with Kérastase Double Force Hairspray."

The Makeup: Look-At-Me Lip

Celebrity makeup artist Rachel Goodwin explains: “Emma's Met Ball makeup was inspired by the graphic black and white floral print of her dress. The lack of color prompted me to bring elements of a colorful spring garden into the makeup look opting for bold, feminine color on her lips, eyes and cheeks for a fresh youthful statement.

On her skin, I used CHANEL Vitalumière Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup SPF 15 in Beige Rosé-Pastel. This lightweight, luminous formula allowed me to perfectly even out her skin while still letting her gorgeous freckles to show. I'm obsessed with her freckles!

On her eyes, I used a wash of pale pink shimmer from CHANEL Quadra Eyeshadow in Lilium on the entire lid; then I boosted her lash line with two coats of CHANEL Inimitable Intense Mascara in Noir after placing Ardel individual lashes to the end of her eyes only. I finished by lining her inner eyelid with CHANEL Intense Eye Pencil in Clair for a subtle contrast.”
