The Italian Rêve – Steps into the Red Carpet with Erin Ayanian Monroe: Dakota Fanning Makeup

The Artist

Erin Ayanian Monroe.

From sunny California, Erin is a well-respected makeup artist, with a great artistic eye and creativity, which she never fails to express in the beauty looks she creates, both for red carpets and editorials.
It’s not the first time that we see Erin working elbow-to-elbow with Dakota Fanning and her sister Elle (for example in “The Neon Demon” and “Mary Shelley,” or on the occasion of the Cannes Film Festival Red Carpet), but Erin works with many many names in the industry: for example Zoe Kravitz, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz.

The Skin

Dakota Fanning Makeup

I prepped her skin with the Dior Backstage Face & Body Foundation in the shade Cool Rosy and, then, I used the Diorskin Rosy Glow — Healthy Glow Booster Blush with the highlighter in Nude Luminizer on her cheekbones, the bridge of her nose and cupid’s bow.

The Eyes

Dakota Fanning Makeup

On her eyes I used a light application Mono Shadow in Front Row on the crease and Fusion Mono in Lune on her lids, brow bones and inner corners. The liner is On Stage felt-tip liner in Matte Black. We used the Iconic Overcurl mascara in black on her top lashes, only to keep the look light and fresh.

The Lips

Dakota Fanning Makeup

We used the Ultra Rouge lipstick in Ultra Lust with a little bit of Lip Glow in Pink, which was patted on top with my finger to complete the look. All the makeup was signed by Dior.
