What

Red Carpet Look for Lupita Nyong’o.

When

Golden Globes 2019.

Inspiration

For Lupita’s Golden Globes look, I wanted the makeup to feel fun and be a modern take on the 80s, with contrasting colors on eyes and lips by playing with electric blue liner, lashes and deep ruby lips. It’s fun to wear colors, and you can do it in small doses with liner and lashes without having it be the color on the whole eyelid. Color lashes are a fun accessory for the eyes: by placing three to four on the outer corners and enhancing them with a colored top coat mascara and blue eyeliner it makes wearing electric blue dramatic, but in small doses, so it doesn’t go overboard. The old rule of if you’re wearing strong color on lips, you can’t do it on the eyes does not apply here. Have fun with makeup.
You’re seeing the return of the 80s in fashion, so it’s fun to do it with makeup too.

“Have fun with makeup.”

The Must-Haves

The Skin

I prepped the skin with Lancôme Advanced Genifique Hydrogel Melting Sheet Mask and let it sit for extra hydration. This is perfect for deep hydration, especially when you’ve been flying. When your skin gets this kind of intense hydration, it gives off an inner glow. I followed with Lancôme Advanced Genifique Eye Light Pearl massaged under the eye area.
After the mask, blot off the excess, and massage a small amount of the Lancôme Absolue Revitalizing & Brightening Soft Cream on the face and neck, let the skin absorb it then blot.

The Cheeks

First, apply Lancôme Prep & Matte Primer on the T Zone. I use a dampened sponge to blend the foundation Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24H Long Wear Foundation in 550 on the face, fading out toward the jawline. Apply Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Camouflage Concealer in 510 under the eyes, then dab the Lancôme Translucence Loose Powder Foundation in 500, focusing on the T Zone and leaving the perimeter of the face sheer to bring out the glow. Then, I add Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Custom Highlighting Drops in Bronze Glow on top of the cheekbones.

The Eyes

First of all, I brushed the eyebrows up and out with Lancôme Sourcils Styler in Clear to set the shape, then I filled in the brows with Lancôme Brow Define Pencil in 14 Black. For the eye makeup, prep the lids with Lancôme Eyeshadow Primer Aquatique in 06 Sienne, then line the upper lashlines with the Lancôme Drama Liquid-Pencil in Noir Intense and wing it out a bit. Then I applied the pewter tone of eyeshadow in the crease and outer corners, using the Lancôme Color Design 5 Pan Eyeshadow Palette in 602 Gris Fumee.
Line the inner rims of lower lash lines with the Lancôme Drama Liquid-Pencil in Cote d’Azur.

Play up the lashes by applying blue false lashes on outer corners – I used the Lashify Gossamer Royal Blue in C 12, applying them on the outer corners then blending the Lancôme Monsieur Big Color Lash Top Coat in 03 Blue along the roots. For a finishing touch, trace some thin black liquid liner along the upper lash line and wing it out a bit with the Lancôme Artliner in Noir.

The Lips

Prep the lips with the Lancôme Absolue Precious Cells Nourishing Lip Balm: let it sit and absorb, then blot off excess to create the perfect canvas for the lips. Line and define the lips with a lip liner, in this case, the Lancôme Le Lip Liner in Portelle. For ruby lips I applied the Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Matte in 507 Dram’atic directly from the tube, blotting the excess and then adding another coat for further intensity.

Body

With bare shoulders, massage some Lancôme Nutrix Royal Body on the arms and shoulders and let it absorb. For an extra glow and highlight, I mix a few drops of Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Custom Highlighting Drops in Bronze Glow and dab it on the collarbones and on top of the shoulders.

Your Beauty Secret to Share:

To enhance the color of the color lashes, opt for a bright tone eyeliner applied very close to the lash lines and be sure to get the color mascara really close to the lash lines: a fan-shaped mascara brush is some of a secret tool, like the Lancôme Dual End Highlighter Fan Brush (I used the smaller side to apply the mascara so it coats the lashes and then fanning out). Then, I applied the Lashify Gossamer lashes in Royal Blue in C 12, placing 3 each on the outer corners of the eyes.
