Get the Look: Katy Perry's Glittering Eye

Celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey shares how he achieved Katy Perry's latest red-carpet look:

"The inspiration for the beauty look was 'Disco Angel' — angelic, sparkly and ethereal. I wanted to play off the textures in her dress and wings.

For Katy’s multi-colored eye, I first applied the lavender shade of CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Silver Sky all along the top lid from lashline to crease and blended with my fingertips. Cream shadows are great adhesive for glitter, which was perfect for applying Makeup For Ever Glitter on the lid by tapping it with my finger. I then applied CoverGirl LiquiLineBlast in Green Glow along the lower water line and lower lashes and blended it with a small brush to smoke it out. I finished the eyes with two coats on top and bottom of CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion in Black.

I first prepped her skin with Nars Gentle Cream Cleanser and Aqua Gel Hydrator. I love the Aqua Gel because it doesn’t make her skin greasy but keeps it moisturized. Katy’s face was flawless, polished skin set with a shimmery pink blush and then I dusted glitter on her cheekbones to add to the sparkle.

On her lips, I created a rich pink look with CoverGirl LipPerfection lipcolor in Temptress for the red carpet and then changed it to a brighter berry pink/red for her performance using LipPerfection lipcolor in Tempt. "

Celebrity makeup artist Tracey Levy reveals the products used to create Mila Kunis' latest red-carpet beauty look:

"Dramatic yet effortless — that was the look I envisioned when making up Mila Kunis at the SAG Awards. Smoky eyes were the focal point, with glossy lips.

Lancôme Teint Miracle Lit-from-Within Makeup and Blush Subtil in Sheer Amourose worked to even tone and illuminate.

I then used Lancôme Color Design 5 Pan Palette in Midnight Rush, Color Design Eye Shadow in Volcano, Le Crayon Khôl EyeLiner in Black and Hypnôse Drama Mascara in Excessive Black, to amplify Mila's hazel eyes.

To complete the look, I layerd Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Lipstick in Rich Cashmere and La Laque Fever Lipshine in Hotness."

Get the Look: Christina Hendricks' Dramatic Eye

Recreate Christina Hendricks' striking SAG Awards beauty look with this step-by-step guide, courtesy of celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Scali:

"Christina was inspired by Brigitte Bardot's black, smoky eyes and nude face. So, we went in this direction but softened the look for the red carpet by using a creamy, shimmery shadow in gunmetal. This gives the eye shadow a transparent quality that makes the look very strong but also very modern.

I am always sparing with foundation but especially with Christina's nearly flawless skin. I used CoverGirl NatureLuxe Silk Foundation in Alabaster, which was perfect for fresh, lightweight coverage. For a hint of color, I used CoverGirl Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Plush Peach on the apples of the cheeks, looking polished and fresh.

For Christina’s timeless smoky eye, I used CoverGirl Smoky ShadowBlast in Onyx Smoke on the lid from just above the crease down to the lash line. I swept out past the natural lash line at the outer corners of the eye to exaggerate the eye size and add a touch of red carpet drama. Also, to define the lash line, I used CoverGirl LiquiLine Blast Eyeliner in Black Fire. This pencil defines the eye by leaving intense color at the lash line but is very blendable for a soft look at the edges. Never leave home without lush and lengthy lashes, I used CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion Mascara in Very Black to create just that.

Strong eyes look great paired with clean, uncomplicated skin. Keep it fresh by powdering in the T-zone only, using CoverGirl Clean Pressed Powder, Sensitive Skin in Ivory. Finally, to complement the smoky eye, I wanted to use brown undertones, so I chose CoverGirl Lip Perfection Lipstick in Kiss, perfect for red carpet glam!"

Answer Me This: Alexandra Richards' Edgy Eye

Posted by babu 2:42pm GMT


Splash News

Q: I'm obsessing over Alexandra Richards' rockin' eye from yesterday's Macy's event in New York City. Any tips? Thanks!
— Monica S., Denver.

A: Thank you for your query, Monica! I'm loving Alexandra's edgy eye makeup as well. To get the look, start with a black, gel-based liner as your base (I adore Estee Lauder Gel Eyeliner) to ensure a long-lasting finish. Next, smudge a metallic charcoal shadow (try M.A.C Pigment in Dark Soul) over the entire lid and lower lash line. To finish, brighten the inner corners of your eyes with a neutral shimmer (like NARS Soft Touch Shadow Pencil in Goddess) and coat both top and bottom lashes with two coats of black mascara (Lancome Definicils Precious Cells works well). 

To achieve Alexandra's full look, be sure to keep skin fresh and youthful, and avoid blush. Instead, simply contour the hollows of your cheeks with a bit of matte or fleck-free bronzer (like Guerlain Terracotta 4 Seasons Bronzer). Lips can be left bare, or lightly dabbed with a semi-matte, nude lip color (Giorgio Armani Lip Wax in Nude Beige is a favorite); no pencil.

Get the Look: Selena Gomez's Smouldering Eye

Posted by babu 5:29pm GMT

Celebrity makeup artist Karan Mitchell shares her notes on Selena Gomez's latest red-carpet look:

The Inspiration
For the Golden Globes, Selena chose a beautiful Catherine Deane gown with chain accents, so I focused on the coral and golden tones to create a complementary beauty look.

The Eyes
For the base of the lid, I used the first two shades from the Anastasia Beverly Hills ILLUMIN8 Eye Shadow Palette in #1, blending on the eyelid as well as from the crease to the brow as a highlight. Next, I blended the soft plum accent (shade #4) on the crease, blending up and outward all the way to the eyebrow on the outer edges. Next, I wet the deep onyx shade from another Anastasia Beverly Hills Palette (#2) and used it as a liquid liner on the top lashes. Next, I round-brushed Lash Lifting Mascara into the root of Selena's upper and lower lashes for definition.

To define the brows, I sketched in Brow Wiz from Anastasia Beverly Hills (Medium Ash) using light upward strokes, filling in brows completely by drawing little hairs. Then I used the wand brush on the other end of Brow Wiz to blend the brow color through. This helps to soften the product and create a natural effect. To highlight the brow bone, I applied the brand's Brow Duality highlighter pencil (Camille/Sand) on the brow bone, starting above the iris to the end of the brow, and blended using my fingertip.

Lips & Cheeks
To achieve Selena's glossy, petal-pink lip, I used Anastasia Beverly Hills HydraFull Gloss in Sugar. Then, using my ring finger, I gently tapped the crème cheek color from the brand's Highlighting Crème Duo (St. Tropez) to apples of her cheeks, blending to hairline. To finish, I applied a small amount of the liquid highlighter along Selena's cheekbones and blended some on her shoulders, too!
