This year for the 71st Annual Golden Globe Awards, Orange is the New Black nominee, Taylor Schilling was seen on the red carpet in a subtle shimmery eye and berry lip as created by celebrity make-up artist Monika Blunder with Chantecaille products.
To complement Schilling’s custom Thakoon emerald green floor length gown, Blunder created a modern and effortless look. The inspiration was a cross between Elizabeth Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof meets Veronica Lake.
THE STEPS:
STEP 1: Blunder started by spraying the skin with Pure Rosewater. Next, she applied Stress Repair Concentrate around the eyes.
STEP 2: She applied a light base of Future Skin Foundation. "I wanted the skin to be a bit luminous and have her natural complexion shine through."
STEP 3: Total Concealer was used undereyes. Then Iridescent Eye Shade in Crystal all over the lid, proceeded by Iridescent Eye Shade in Sel through the crease-and sweeping it into the outer corners and under the eye. To deepen the contrast in the crease, Blunder wet her brush and took the color back through to intensify the look.
STEP 4: Eyeliner was Gel Liner in Jet. To thicken the look along the lash line, she dabbed the pencil between lashes, along the edge of the lid. She double lined the eye with Le Stylo in Black.
STEP 5: After curling the lashes she used three coats of Faux Cils Mascara in Black.
STEP 6: To sculpt the face: Compact Soliel in St Barth’s in the hallows of cheeks and onto temples and hairline. Cheek Shade in Laughter and finished with Les Petales de Rose to illuminate.
STEP 7: Brow Definer in Ash Blonde.
STEP 8: "To achieve the deep berry lip, it’s all about the application," says Blunder. "I wanted it to look like it had a natural bitten flush, so I used my pointer finger and pushed Lip Chic in Calla Lily onto the lip without a brush."
