It was an opportunity that she couldn’t pass up.

Hannah Betts's Better...not younger: How eyeshadow has suddenly hit a purple patch

Say ‘very peri’ to a woman in midlife and you’re likely to get punched. When my inbox filled up with the term in early December, I assumed I was being trolled.

Clothes like these are a secret language, communicating wealth only to those in the know.

The Best Water-Based Foundations for Easy, Breezy Skin

Although water-based foundations are nothing new, breakthroughs in formulations and a general understanding that all skin types need proper hydration have made way for a whole new generation of skincare-infused makeup.

11 Iconic Red Lipstick Looks, Explained

“The rules for wearing red lipstick are that there are no rules, just like in Fight Club,” Debbie Harry tells me over e-mail when I ask her to describe the ethos behind her standout makeup looks. Who am I to argue with the Blondie legend when it comes to red lipstick decorum? Her iconic on-and-off stage beauty looks, after all, were constant, indelible perfection—in part due to the fact that she never shied away from a bold red lip (accompanied, of course, by layers of sexy blonde locks swooped over one eye and a fierce jolt of confidence).

11 Eye Makeup Removers That Simplify Your Cleansing Routine

When it comes to beauty, there are a few rules—the most important of which is to never go to bed with makeup on. Ever. Speaking in absolutes may seem extreme, but in this case, we’re adamant in making our case. Consider this ultimate PSA: improper (or straight-up, lack of) eye makeup removal can affect eye, lash, and brow health. And yes, we know, we know: the last thing we want to do at the end of a long day is remove our makeup, but trust us. With the right eye makeup remover, it’ll feel less like an obligation and more like a staple part of your evening skincare ritual. Of course, thorough facial cleansing is equally important, as this will save your silk pillowcases and sheets from hard-to-clean mascara smudges.

Kate Hudson’s Ambiguously Retro Glam Is A Nod To Several Bygone Eras

It’s still early days, but it seems safe to say that nostalgic glam has the 2020s in a chokehold.

Holiday Makeup: Kim Kardashian’s Makeup Artist Tells You How To Glow at Your Next Party

Festive season is upon us, and for those keen on a little glow and sparkle, a well-honed holiday makeup look is a must. Given that there’s every excuse for a little extra shine, smoke, and, yes, sculpt, who better than the reigning king of contour Mario Dedivanovic to be our guide for a scene-stealing look? “It’s that time of year where you can really have fun and feel more confident trying something new and different,” says Dedivanovic of executing a deliciously daring holiday makeup strategy. “You tend to be a little bit more bold and playful.” Here, the pro behind Kim Kardashian‘s preternatural glow reveals his holiday party-ready tricks and techniques, from crafting a perfect canvas to executing his signature “soft sculpting” and “lip lift” techniques. Activate a Luminous Glow After prepping the skin with a veil of emollient moisturizer, such as Tatcha’s Dewy Skin Cream, to keep makeup set for longer, Dedivanovic suggests upping the wattage for a look that “glows at night” by tapping Elizabeth Arden’s balmy Eight Hour Cream onto the center of the lids or lips for an “extra bit of glossiness.” For a natural luminosity, use a featherweight liquid foundation like the Koh Gen Do Aqua Foundation or something even lighter like Laura Mercier’s Tinted Moisturizer that will blend seamlessly into the skin for subtle, nearly imperceptible coverage. Sculpt and Highlight Imperceptibly “Now that everyone knows how to contour and it’s become part of their everyday beauty routine, people are realizing that you can achieve a sculpted look with a lot less makeup,” says Dedivanovic of pioneering his “soft sculpting” technique. To apply bronzer, use a tapered contour brush and a powder formula that’s not too warm or red-toned like Dedivanovic’s Makeup by Mario Soft Sculpt Bronzer. Start slightly above the hollows of the cheeks, then “blend upward to subtly lift the skin and add some warmth,” instructs Dedivanovic. “This will create a natural sculpt.” Then, add a wash of contour on the eyes for an overall more “natural, monochromatic” effect. For highlighting, Dedivanovic recommends wetting a highlighter brush before dipping it into a powder highlighter, such as his Soft Glow formula, and applying it evenly and softly on the high planes of the face so that it builds for a “melted” effect. “Instead of the product sitting on the skin, it feels like it’s a part of it,” says Dedivanovic. Photo: Instagram.com/kimkardashian Smoke the Eyes Effortlessly “When I think of the holiday season, my mind goes straight to creamy metallic eyeshadows you can apply in one swipe,” explains Dedivanovic, whose Master Metals eyeshadow palette pigments can be transformed with a few drops of his pro mixing liquid to create a molten, liquid foil effect. If you’re partial to powder, wet one or more of the bold, shimmering shades from holiday party-ready The Nudes 3 palette with a brush and blend into lids to smoky effect. Alternatively, when using eyeliner, rim the upper and lower lash lines with an eye brush to blend out the lines for another “instant smoky eye.” Give Yourself a Lip Lift “I’m just loving matte lips right now,” says Dedivanovic. “For the holidays, it’s all about those bold berries and deeper reds—they’re very wearable.” To create the illusion of fuller lips, look to Dedivanovic’s TikTok-viral “lip lift” strategy, which consists of slightly overlining the upper lip line, paying most attention to the Cupid’s bow area, and the bottom lip, extending the liner upwards towards the outer corners of the mouth, then diffusing and blending the lip liner with a brush. Then, to up the impact, go over it with a matte lipstick, such as his Ultra Suede formula in warm crimson Alicia. For a flawless finish, take a little bit of foundation or concealer and use a brush to refine the edges of lips, starting from the inner lips and brushing to the outer corners. “Especially for more mature women, it gives you a mini lip lift,” says Dedivanovic. Once the lip is in place, add a sheer layer of translucent powder to set it and prevent feathering as the night goes on.

While Korean beauty brands (or K-Beauty) have grown rapidly both in Asia and in the West thanks to a more conspicuous marketing and social media push, Japanese beauty brands are just starting to generate increasing interest in the West.

To All the Beauty Products She's Loved Before: Lana Condor Shares Her Favorites

The Lineup is a monthly series where we're giving you an inside peek at the beauty lineups of cool fashion people, editors, makeup artists, hairstylists, and estheticians—all the people we trust the most. Get ready for a behind-the-scenes look at all the can’t-live-without products that make their worlds go 'round. If there's one thing you should know about me, it's my unwavering love for romance movies, specifically teen romantic comedies that hit you right in the feels. So when Netflix's To All the Boys I've Loved Before, starring Lana Condor, came out and dominated the trending list for weeks on end, it also dominated the Friday nights I spent rewatching my favorite scenes with a pint of ice cream and eye masks. But let me make one thing clear: I may have come for the love story, but I stayed for Condor's flawless skin. Condor is the definition of a true multi-hyphenate: She's an actress, producer, YouTuber (her vlogs are top-tier), and skincare enthusiast. Like any movie fanatic, I watched her press interviews for a behind-the-scenes look at the movie. But as a budding beauty fanatic, I truly wanted the inside scoop on the routine that leaves Condor with glowing skin on and off-screen. Luckily for you and me, she did us all a favor and shared her top beauty picks with us. PHOTO: LANA CONDOR "I was a dancer when I was younger, so I wore a lot of stage makeup. I always loved playing with makeup and creating different looks that would match my moods or outfits, etc.," says Condor. With age, she has come to realize that true beauty encompasses so much more than appearance and starts from within. To her, beauty is about "taking care of yourself, listening to your instincts, and choosing kindness even when it isn't necessarily easy. We need to take the time to tend to our minds and hearts the same way we wash our faces every night." And while we can all agree that inner beauty is the most important, there's nothing wrong with giving your skin a little extra love to achieve that lit-from-within glow. When it comes to investing in skin treatments, Condor says that infrared saunas and cryotherapy are worth the splurge. "Sweating out toxins in the sauna has worked magic on my skin, and the tightening anti-inflammatory benefits I get from cryo have been amazing for my skin, too," Condor says. "I also maintain the position that good skin starts with your gut health. I don't believe you need to spend a lot of money on crazy expensive skin treatments. Rather, start with healing your gut. When you care about your gut and start to heal that, your skin is directly affected."

Dark Circles Where? These 13 Color Correctors are Practically Magic

If you've ever dealt with dark circles under your eyes, you know the struggle is real. It's hard to mask the darkness in a way that looks natural and flawless. The trick here, though, is to find the right product—and that's where color correctors come in. "When you don't want to cake on concealer to cover dark circles, color correcting will be your best friend," explains makeup artist and groomer Janice Kinjo, whose clients include Mindy Kaling, Uzo Aduba, and Gabrielle Union. "It is a way to instantly neutralize discoloration, dark circles, and blemish marks underneath your foundation/concealer." The 13 Best Color Correctors for Dark Circles, Hands Down PHOTO: @MEXICANBUTJAPANESE You might think that color correctors and concealers are one and the same (I used to think they were interchangeable), but they're two very different products. "Concealers are significantly different than color correctors," says makeup artist Gina Brooke, whose clients include Cate Blanchett, Kim Kardashian West, and Kerry Washington. "Concealers are highly pigmented and meant to conceal and highlight the skin while matching your skin tone, whereas color correctors are specifically designed to neutralize imperfections by toning down the color of the melanin to create a seamless look." How to Shop for a Color Corrector The 13 Best Color Correctors for Dark Circles, Hands Down PHOTO: @ISABELLECOHEEN Brooke says that choosing a color corrector can be more complicated than choosing a new shade of foundation. That's because they're designed to work by neutralizing the skin using the opposite shade on discolored areas. She recommends looking for light formulas that are buildable. "To keep it simple, for fair complexions, look for pastel color correctors," Kinjo suggests. "For medium tones, yellow, orange, and peach correctors. For dark tones, [try] deep peach to dark orange. Shade-matching will be easier when keeping those tips in mind." How to Apply Color Correctors Makeup artist Carolina Dalí-Trites, whose clients include Constance Wu and Storm Reid, says it's important to prep and moisturize the under-eye area first so that your makeup can glide on and blend easily. She shared her prep routine, saying, "I start off by applying on clean skin the Russak Dermatology Clinic Chill Out CBD-infused under-eye gel mask—it helps de-puff, soothe, and moisturize the under-eye area. Leave on for 15 to 30 minutes while you're doing your hair, choosing an outfit, or whatever else you're up to in the a.m. For best under-eye mask results, store in a cool place or fridge. Follow with the La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream—this cream is hydrating yet not oily, wears nicely under makeup, and has a touch of luminosity, which will help reflect light and instantly make the under-eye area look a little brighter. It's important to choose a moisturizer that's not too rich or oily because that will make the makeup crease." ADVERTISING La Prairie Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream LA PRAIRIE Skin Caviar Luxe Eye Cream $400 SHOP NOW Favorite After prepping, Kinjo recommends applying the corrector just on the area—that's because color correctors have a thicker formulation, so you don't want it to look caked-on. "Then, apply your foundation or concealer on top and blend with your finger, brush, or sponge," she says. "Again, color correctors neutralize color, so there is no need to pack on the foundation or concealer. All it comes down to is blending it with your foundation." Beautyblender Original Beautyblender Makeup Sponge BEAUTYBLENDER Original Beautyblender Makeup Sponge $20 SHOP NOW Favorite Hourglass Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush HOURGLASS Vanish Seamless Finish Concealer Brush $32 SHOP NOW Favorite The Best Color Correctors to Try If you want to test them out for yourself, here's a list of the best color correctors, recommended by makeup artists and editors. 1. LA Girl HD Pro Corrector Concealer LA Girl HD Pro Corrector Concealer LA GIRL HD Pro Corrector Concealer $5 $4 SHOP NOW Favorite Kinjo recommends this one for all complexions. "You can't beat the price point, and the creamy formula can be applied with the brush tip applicator," she says. 2. Chanel Le Correcteur de Chanel Chanel Le Correcteur de Chanel CHANEL Le Correcteur de Chanel $43 SHOP NOW Favorite "Some of my favorite color-correcting formulas are lightweight gel-based textures such as Le Correcteur de Chanel, which contains a soft-focus pigment that diffuses light to minimize the look of imperfections," Brooke says. "It comes in four buildable colors and provides light-to-medium coverage. I use Rose to illuminate and brighten, Vert to neutralize the appearance of redness, and Apricot and Pêche to diminish the look of dark circles." 3. MAC Studio Fix Conceal & Correct MAC Studio Fix Conceal & Correct MAC Studio Fix Conceal & Correct $36 SHOP NOW Favorite "For all complexions, [I like] MAC's Studio Fix Conceal & Correct because it's a palette made for most skin tones, and you can play with the different colors in it," Kinjo says. 4. Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish Color Corrector Charlotte Tilbury Magic Vanish Color Corrector CHARLOTTE TILBURY Magic Vanish Color Corrector $32 SHOP NOW Favorite Dalí-Trites recommends this one from Charlotte Tilbury. "Using my fingers, I apply it under the eyes—don't forget to apply to the inner and outer corners of the eyes too," she says. "Once I've applied and blended the color corrector, I follow with Nars's Radiant Creamy Concealer. I like to build the coverage little by little, keeping in mind less is more. Applying too much concealer can have the opposite effect drawing negative attention to the under-eye area, and within minutes or hours, [it can] crease. Once I'm happy with the coverage, I seal everything in place to prevent creasing and help the makeup wear longer. I take a small powder brush and apply a light dusting of Dior Backstage Powder-No-Powder to the under-eye area."

Best Makeup Remover Cloth

Which makeup remover cloth is best? Whether you only wear a little lip balm and mascara when you step outside or you wear a full face of makeup on a daily basis, removing your makeup can be a multi-step process. But makeup remover wipes and cloths are a fast, easy solution to the makeup removal process. Makeup remover cloths are washcloth-like products that have a lot of soft fibers. When these cloths are damp, the weave of the fabric magically lifts the makeup off your face without smearing the makeup around, so you don’t need any cleanser. A great option is the Koh Gen Do Cleansing Spa Water Cloths. What to know before you buy a makeup remover cloth Reusable vs. disposable cloths Makeup remover cloths tend to be reusable, while makeup remover wipes are usually disposable. There are pros and cons to each type. For example, makeup remover cloths are machine washable, environmentally friendly, cost effective, non-irritating, gently exfoliating and deep cleaning. On the other hand, wipes are hygienic, travel friendly, workout-ready and hassle-free. Right size and shape for you Makeup remover cloths usually differ in size from about 4-by-5 inches to 12-by-12 inches. Larger cloths tend to last longer before they need to be washed. Cloths also usually come in either a square or rectangular shape, but there are some mitts out there that offer more targeted control. On the go Makeup remover wipes are also a great option to take when you’re out and about. For example, you can take wipes to the gym to remove all of the sweat on your face after a draining workout. At the end of the day, you can use makeup remover wipes to remove makeup, soothe and hydrate your skin, exfoliate and cleanse. Many makeup remover wipes also come in travel-friendly packages that you can put in your purse or carry-on bag. What to look for in a quality makeup remover cloth Material Most makeup remover cloths are composed of synthetic fibers — usually polyester — which are less prone to bacterial growth than cotton. Microfiber cloths tend to be less soft than the cloths designed for makeup removal, but they are typically more exfoliating. Micellar water Many makeup remover wipes feature micellar water, which helps draw out oil, dirt and impurities without overdrying your skin. Beneficial qualities There are many makeup remover cloths out there that have soothing, hydrating or exfoliating qualities. Look for the cloths that will work best for you and your skin. How much you can expect to spend on a makeup remover cloth Makeup remover cloths and wipes start around $5-$9 for a 30-count package, while individually wrapped cloths and wipes you would find at a boutique hotel or spa can cost up to $40 for the same number. You can also find packages with 25-30 high-quality, feature-packed makeup remover wipes for about $12-$20. Makeup remover cloth FAQ Can you really remove long-wearing or waterproof mascara with a makeup remover cloth? A. Yes, you can remove waterproof or long-wearing mascara with makeup remover cloths or wipes. Wipes will remove your long-wearing and waterproof eye makeup much easier and faster than cloths, but you can still use makeup remover cloths with a little extra tugging and rubbing. If you find it difficult to remove your eye makeup with a makeup remover cloth, just apply a little extra eye makeup remover to the cloth. What are your options for makeup remover cloths if you try to only use green, nontoxic beauty products? A. Makeup remover cloths don’t include any harsh chemicals, so they are your best option when it comes to green and non-toxic beauty products for removing makeup. You can also find makeup remover wipes that are advertised as free of harmful chemicals like phenoxyethanol or parabens. You should search for makeup remover wipes or cloths that feature plant-based ingredients and are free of fragrance and dye, since those tend to be less toxic than other options. What type of makeup remover cloths should you use for acne-prone skin? A. Using makeup remover cloths or wipes of any kind will reduce your acne, especially if you use them before and after a sweaty workout. Make sure to find makeup remover wipes that are advertised as oil-free. Also, keep in mind that makeup remover wipes with micellar water might not be cleansing enough if you have oily and acne-prone skin, so you should look for wipes that are marketed as clarifying instead of hydrating.

Dakota Johnson's Romantic Hairstyle is Proof Cottagecore is Here to Stay

Considering just how versatile, customizable, personal, and downright pretty they can be, it’s almost shocking to think that for many, ponytails are relegated exclusively to the gym or backyard. If you’re a ponytail doubter, convinced that the style is purely functional, please focus your attention on Dakota Johnson. Hemingway had his brusque prose, Rothko had his colors, and Johnson has her ponytails. With her go-to glam team, the pulled-back styles become works of art — and her latest creation is a full-on masterpiece. Concocted by Mark Townsend, her go-to stylist, Dakota Johnson’s braided ponytail is a modernized, real-life version of something you might see on a fairytale princess.

I’D ALSO LIKE TO RECEIVE: The Zoe Report Beauty Submit The intricate, artfully undone style comes amid a whirlwind tour of press and premieres for Johnson’s new film, The Lost Daughter. Together with makeup artist Georgie Eisdell, the trio has produced more copyable looks in a few weeks than many come up with all year. This latest look, created for the Mill Valley Film Festival, features Johnson in an autumn-appropriate velvet puff-sleeve dress with shimmery, lash-heavy makeup and this show-stopping braid. While most of it is elegantly pinned back, Townsend left several gently-waved tendrils loose around Johnson’s face for a romantic, tousled effect. Dakota Johnson facing away to show off long braided ponytail @marktownsend1 A style this good needs to be replicated immediately — and thankfully, Townsend was kind enough to share a brief look at what went into the braided updo on his Instagram. As with any sculpted or structured style, the texture is all-important to allow grip for pins, hair bands, and woven strands. Too silky-smooth and it’ll all slide right out, which is why so many top stylists recommend a dry shampoo or second-day hair for updos. In this case, Townsend used the incredible-smelling Dove Volume And Fullness Dry Shampoo all over Johnson’s hair before pinning it in place. In another post, Townsend mentions the dry shampoo is also a consistent must-use at the crown of the head and in her fluffy, lash-skimming bangs. A bit of Goop’s new Glow Restore + Shine Hair Serum adds gloss and sealant to hair’s ends, too. SAN RAFAEL, CALIFORNIA - OCTOBER 16: Actress Dakota Johnson arrives at the screening of "The Lost Da... Miikka Skaffari/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images Meanwhile, Eisdell’s work on Johnson’s makeup is perfectly complementary to the dark cottagecore style thanks to a wide-eyed look emphasized with plenty of shimmer. Eisdell revealed the long, defined eyelashes came courtesy of IT Cosmetics Superhero Mascara, which features a buildable formula and bristle-packed brush. A combination of Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Aqua and Chanel Vitalumière foundations buff a creamy, clean finish into Johnson’s skin to create the perfect canvas for the rest of the products. Finally, her full, satin lip look was built from the Victoria Beckham Beauty Lip Definer in Shade 2 and kept supple and hydrated with the Goop Goopgenes Lip Balm. In an alternate universe it’s clear that Johnson would have excelled as a Disney princess — with hair like that, she’d probably be the most enchanting one.

How Taraji P. Henson Channeled Diana Ross

How Taraji P. Henson Channeled Diana Ross By Asia Milia Ware Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut It was a no-brainer that Taraji P. Henson wanted her look for this year’s American fashion themed Met Gala to be an ode to Diana Ross. “Diana Ross is iconic. That’s who I grew up wanting to be,” Taraji says. “She’s everything that embodies Hollywood, glam, and fashion. Growing up in the hood and watching her gave me something to aspire to be.” Working with her stylist, Jason Bolden, they leaned into cool references from American fashion and American music, specifically during the disco time period. “The flamboyance and courageousness of innately fashionable Black women during the time of disco inspired us,” Jason says. Tapping Jeremy Scott for the gala was an obvious choice, not only because he and Taraji are good friends, but also because he’s willing to “push the envelope,” Jason says. “Jeremy steps out of the box and dances to his own music, so it was a perfect collaboration.” See: All the Looks From the Met Gala Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut While you may think everyone started preparing for the long-awaited 2021 Met Gala as soon as the sun rose today, that’s not the case for Taraji. Her preparation for fashion’s biggest night of the year is low-key and quiet. She spent the morning doing one last fitting for her embellished catsuit and then enjoyed her “me time.” “I’m talking to my girlfriends and we’re recapping my birthday weekend,” Taraji says as she drinks her green juice and water and just chills until it’s time to get ready. “I’m very low maintenance.” Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut She started her prep yesterday with her manicure and pedicure, which she says is “therapeutic” to her. The 3D textured nails done by Temeka Jackson are blinged out to complement her Moschino look. “Each nail is art,” Taraji says on her manicure. The nails are decked out with Swarvoski crystals, one finger with a blinged out ring and another a 3D black rose. Taraji P. Henson getting ready at The Mark Hotel. Photo: Photographed by Dani B for The Cut Next up is hair and makeup. Her skincare routine prep is a series of products by La Mer. Her makeup artist, Ashunta Sheriff-Kendricks is really focused on hydration of the skin, especially her under eyes. To continue paying homage to 70s and 80s American fashion and disco glam, Taraji is going for glowy and glassy skin. For a skin-like foundation finish, she’s wearing one of her favorite foundations, Koh Gen Do. The glass skin look with a glowy cheek brings the attention to her intense smokey eye. “Think Donna Summer and supermodel Imani,” Ashunta says. To top the look off, Taraji went with a neutral lip from The Lip Bar. Photo: Dani B for The Cut Photo: Dani B To complement her sexy smokey eye is her textured hair, inspired by Diana Ross — specifically her hair on the cover of her 1987 “Red Hot Rhythm & Blues” album. To prep her hair, Tym Wallace used her own hair care line, TPH by Taraji for a moisturizing shampoo and a leave in conditioner to help the hair be shaped. “I went in with a flat waving iron and a micro iron so the hair could have multiple patterns and textures,” Tym says. The vision for the hair against her catsuit is drama and glamour, “almost like she has a fan blowing her.” “It’s big, voluminous, textured, and Hollywood glamour.” See below for photos of how her final look came all together.

Behind the spooky glam of Netflix’s Nightbooks: Interview with makeup head Leslie Sebert by Mads Lennon 2 weeks ago Follow @madstvwriter TWEET SHARE x COMMENT We’re taking you behind the spooky glam of Netflix’s Nightbooks with makeup head Leslie Sebert. Find out how to steal Natacha’s glittery witch look and more! Nightbooks is a new fantasy-driven horror film that appeals to children and adults. The story centers around Alex (Winsley Fegley), a boy obsessed with scary stories. He finds himself trapped in a magical apartment by an evil witch, Natacha (Krysten Ritter), who forces him to tell her a new scary story each night to stay alive. Alex teams up with another prisoner, Yazmin (Lidya Jewett), to escape Natacha’s clutches. Leslie was responsible for leading the makeup department for the movie and talked to us about her direction for designing Natacha’s makeup. She utilized her creativity and extensive background in the field to bring Natacha’s character to life, focusing on incorporating darker colors, glitter eyeshadows and creating cat-like features to enhance Natacha’s sinister yet childish, appearance. A 35-year industry veteran, Leslie offers valuable insight into creating the ultimate witch look, whether you want to mimic Natacha’s appearance this Halloween or create a witchy look of your own! Find out what products and techniques she used in Nightbooks and more. The genesis of creating Natacha’s look for Nightbooks, highlighting the contrast between her and Griselda (the Candy Witch) LESLIE SEBERT: The whole idea of Natacha was she was (spoiler alert!) a young girl who was captured by this apartment, by this witch, she grew up in captivity in this weird place. She was still childish, and her makeup look, fashion, and everything had a childish sort of hint to it. But then also some really fun cool fashion. Supposedly the apartment moved around to different countries. It might have popped to Paris, so she would have seen how people are and how their fashion is and their makeup, so she just grabbed these things to herself and being sort of childish, and what little girl doesn’t love glittery things? It’s so fun to play with, so that was the basis for her. She cultivated her own look. She didn’t have a mother teaching her how to do it. She had to figure it out on her own. Nightbooks: Steal Natacha’s glitter eyeshadow LESLIE SEBERT: The main one that I found that stayed really well was Urban Decay. They had a few, definitely the Urban Decay eye primer before the eye shadow, and then I would do a really nice highlight and shadow with a Christian Dior eyeshadow that was a perfect base for it. It was number 646, just for earth tones and things like that. And then, on top of that, the sparkles were the Urban Decay sparkles, the glitters. They have the gold, which is called Starfire, the purple glitter is called Studio, but then on top of that, for some of the scenes, I layered the Urban Metal Heavy Metal, and that was Saturday Stardust. I really love those products. They are the best glitters I have found. There was also a Stila one I used called Kitten Karma that stayed well, but the Urban Decay was fantastic and highly recommended. Nightbooks Nightbooks: How to make your perfect Natacha (or any witch) makeup look for Halloween LESLIE SEBERT: The fun part of her character was [Natacha] was a witch, but she was gorgeous and fashionable. Still, she also was evil and part of that was the dramatic eyes the great I did a lot of the black with the little tails at the end. I also did double tails and triple tails and a little ’60s kind of thing where I even did an underline with a tail at the end and then glitter in between to accentuate Krysten’s eyes. I was thinking of using under-eye lashes, like the false lashes, but for the whole day, they just weren’t that comfortable, so what I went with I drew extra lines like in the ’60s and then in between, I would put some gold highlights or purple highlights or silver highlights to really pop the liner. Especially at night, which was the thing about our film, it was particularly dark and moody. The glitter will make whoever’s eyes pop even more when you’ve got the big black liner and big lashes, and then you have some highlighting glitter. It catches your eye, and it’s very dramatic. Nightbooks What’s in Leslie Sebert’s makeup bag? LESLIE SEBERT: I am a big fan of Armani foundations and Koh Gen Do foundations. I love beautiful Christian Dior eyeshadows. There are so many products out there, it was funny on this when we were doing her lips, we used a Kosas called “Wet,” and it brought this great shine to her lips. Also, another nice product which she absolutely loved is Living Libations, and Krysten doesn’t go anywhere without it. She likes the mint flavor, but there are so many yummy flavors like chocolate, and they’re beautiful. They’re a great basis for lip colors and lip liners and stuff. I wouldn’t leave home without them. READ: Nightbooks appeals to the horror-loving kid within I usually have in my kit the Christian Dior [mascara] called Diorshow. We used Tarte on this one which was fantastic because Krysten has these amazing lashes, and I used these great false lashes on her by Pink Cherry and then on top of that, I used the Tarte mascara. Also, I used that Glossier Brow Boy a little bit in her eyebrows and Anastaisa, granite, just a tiny bit because she’s got great eyebrows, but I really wanted to bring drama to her eyebrows because it was such a dramatic look. Her lip pencil was really fun because we were trying to find these great pops of color, an old favorite of mine that I hadn’t used in a while, it’s an Elizabeth Arden fuschia, and it had such amazing consistency. It’s beautiful on her lips. It works great, and she liked the way it felt. Clé de Peau they have beautiful concealers. Those are my go-to’s, and moisturizers are great. It’s good to have a good base before your foundation. I would say Drunk Elephant has some good ones, Dermalogica. We also used Sunday Riley. She has great moisturizers. A big thing is the fake lashes. If you want to make dramatic eyes, especially like a character thing, get the biggest lashes you can get.
