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

The Artist

Erin Ayanian Monroe.

We already chatted with her on the occasion of the Emmys 2018, when Erin did the beautiful makeup for Dakota Fanning.
With a great artistic eye and creativity, once again we see Erin working together with Dakota for a makeup look that turns out to be fresh, sheer and yet elegant, with all the glam of the Old Hollywood.
Erin also is a long-time makeup artist for Dakota’s sister Elle and for many other stars, like Zoe Kravitz, Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz.

What

Red Carpet Look for Dakota Fanning.

When

Golden Globes 2019.

Inspiration

The inspiration for Dakota’s Golden Globes makeup was classic, Elizabeth Taylor-level of Hollywood glamour. Her custom Armani Privé dress set the tone for a refined yet impactful makeup, which was achieved with the products I’ll tell you about.

The Skin

Dakota Fanning Makeup

First, to prep the skin I used Charlotte Tilbury’s Instant Facial Dry Sheet mask, followed by her Magic Cream. Then I used a little of her Magic away Concealer here and there where needed, skipping foundation altogether to keep the look fresh and modern. Foundation mimics healthy skin but if the skin is beautiful like Dakota’s, no need to cover it with makeup!

The Cheeks

I applied the Cheek To Chic blush by Charlotte Tilbury in Love Glow on the apples of her cheeks, together with the Hollywood Beauty Light Wand to highlight Dakota’s cheekbones.

The Eyes

To get those large, glowing eyes I used the Dior 5 Couleurs Eyeshadow Palette in Provoke with a pop of Pat McGrath labs powder highlighter in Fine Gold on the center of Dakota’s lids, finishing the eye look with Diorshow mascara in black on the top and bottom eyelashes.

The Lips

That true red lip is made thanks to the lipstick in Rouge Dior 999 Red. To give it some more staying power, I apply it with a finger, then a light veil of powder and then I apply a final layer using a brush for further precision.
