Hi guys!
Today’s post is a little different to my normal ones and rather special, so I hope you find it interesting.
If you saw yesterday’s post (see here) all about the Costume Institute Gala’s annual shindig at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, you will know that smoky eyes were big news on the punk themed red carpet. If you wanted to know how to get this type of look then I have some insider tips from make up artist Genevieve Herr who did Katie Holmes’ make up for the night.
Using entirely Bobbi Brown, she created a gorgeously wearable smoky eye that made the most of Katie’s features. Genevieve Herr explains; “Katie’s MET Gala makeup was a departure from her natural look. We took the traditional punk look of black eyes and white lips and modernized it by combining metallic shadow with black liner and lots of black mascara to create a winged out smoky eye, and finished the look with a bit of pale pink blush and a beige lip.”
Below is the face chart Genevieve referenced on the night and a list of all the products she used on Katie.
Face: Long-Wear Even Finish Foundation SPF 15 in Warm Natural
Cheeks: Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks in Pretty Powerful Pink, Shimmer Brick in Beige
Lips: Beige Lip Color, Beige Lip Liner
Eyes: Dark Brow Kit, Long-Wear Cream Shadow Stick in Golden Bronze, Caviar Eye Shadow, Long-Wear Eye Pencil in Jet, Lash Glamour Extreme Lengthening Mascara
So, I know what you are all thinking… I’ll see you at the Bobbi Brown counter.
