How-to | Kate Bosworth @ BALMAIN LA opening

Beauty inspiration from celebrity makeup artist Vincent Oquendo
Beauty inspiration “It was so important to flash Kate’s skin for this look because we wanted to keep the emphasis on the eyes and let her skin really glow. Using DERMAFLASH gives her the perfect canvas to start with so I can get to work.” 

How-to

Use DERMAFLASH to prep and prime skin. “Kate is big on face masks and skincare so we followed it up with the Sisley Black Rose mask. Then I buffed liquid foundation into her skin and used Giorgio Armani Crema Nuda Supreme Glow Tinted Creme, which is a super lightweight tinted moisturizer.”

Take Smashbox Always Sharp pencil in an Espresso Brown color to create shape to eyes and smudge it around the eyes. “I love this pencil because it’s cream but it sets waterproof. I used Charlotte Tilbury “Sophisticate” eye palette.”

Follow-up the application with the Giorgio Armani eye tint in a warm bronze color that… just around her crease.

Finally, use Kiko highlighter stick in the inner corner of her eye to give a pretty highlight and coat top lashes with Lancôme Monsieur Big mascara.

On the lips layer Marc Jacobs lip creme in Slow Burn and then Le Marc liquid lipstick in Hot Cocoa and then use Laura Mercier Lip Parfait creme lipstick in Raspberry Ripple over everything.

“On her cheeks, I used a matte bronzer on the cheekbones and finished with Charlotte Tilbury Beach Stick in Moon Beach on the apple of her cheeks and blended back.”

Finish up the look, smooth on Mario Badescu Summer Shine Body Lotion all over to give extra shine.
