Makeup Artist Joanna Schlip was inspired by Christina’s dramatic, sweeping gown when creating her makeup look for the 61st Primetime Emmy's. The vintage glamour of Christina's navy dress by Basil Soda called for simple makeup that still made a statement. With her hair pulled back in a chic chignon, Joanna was able to play up Christina’s eyes with a sexy retro smolder, while keeping her skin fresh and lips softly pink.
It seemed like the smokey eye/nude lip was everywhere on the red carpet last night. Joanna shares her tips on how we can recreate this look at home:
- Skincare: To create a radiant glow, Joanna cleansed with Clarins Water Comfort One Step Cleanser. She then applied Clarins Multi-Active Day moisturizer, followed with Clarins Beauty Flash Balm for smooth, hydrated, radiant skin.
- Face: Since Christina has naturally beautiful skin, Joanna kept her face mostly bare with a light wash of Clarins True Radiance Foundation. She finished with a dusting of Clarins Loose Powder in Translucent.
- Cheeks: For a natural but luminous flush, Joanna applied Clarins Instant Sun Light Shimmer Palette on the apples of her cheeks, sweeping up to the hairline. The shimmering highlighter reflected the California sunlight on the red carpet, giving a healthy, peachy-pink glow.
- Eyes: Joanna reflected the drama of Christina’s dress with a smoldering eye. Using the dark gray shade from Clarins Colour Quartet for Eyes in So Chic, Joanna gave a smokey depth to Christina’s green eyes. To add definition and drama, she applied Clarins Eye Pencil in Black around the upper and lower lash line and inside the wet line, then finished with three coats of Clarins Wonder Perfect Mascara in Black.
- Lips: For a soft modern pink mouth, Joanna applied Clarins Lip Definer in Bay Rose and then added a hint of color with Clarins Colour Quench Lip Balm in Rose Pink.
