What

Red Carpet Look for Vanessa Kirby.

When

The Emmys 2018.

Inspiration

Vanessa’s ultra-sophisticated glam was inspired by the ladies of the silver screen in the 1940 and ‘50s. Her look is both retro and ultra-modern, and while the colors are muted and understated, it’s still, very much, a makeup moment.

…both retro and ultra-modern!

The Skin

Vanessa Kirby Makeup

I prepped her skin with True Botanicals Hydrating Facial Mist and Renew Oil, which are the perfect way to prep skin for a glowing complexion.

I used the Fruit-Pigmented ‘Water Foundation’ from 100% Pure, (which is launching on Sept 25^th!), which provides full coverage while remaining glowy and fresh.

The Cheeks

On the high planes of her face, I added extra highlight with the ‘Cosmic Dancer’ highlighter from Ilia beauty.
On her cheeks I used powder blush from Kosas in ‘Chontrachroma’

The Eyes

I chose to keep her eye makeup simple and retro with a little shimmer from Aether Beauty’s new shimmery palette on her lids, her signature black liquid feline flick with Kat Von D (the only non-green beauty product used because it’s just so black and it doesn’t budge), and a lot of black mascara from Ilia Beauty.

The Lips

I finished the look by pressing into her lips 100% Pure lip color in the shade ‘Mojave.’

Your Beauty Secret to Share:

Before starting with the makeup, I always spend time prepping the skin by pressing in a face oil and then using a jade roller to move stale lymphatic fluid away from the under eye area to reduce puffiness and relax any tense muscles.
