Being a beauty fanatic, of course I can’t stop looking at the make-up from the recent 2011 Spring Collection. I loved the various looks, but I was looking for what’s really new! Sure I saw lots of beige lips, smoky eyes and red lips, and while this did not seem terribly new, it certainly kept up with the trend of what’s happening in the beauty world today. I continued my search, and as I suspected it suddenly appeared, not once nor twice, but several times. “Coral”.

Carey Mulligan made quite an entrance at the NYC premiere of “Money Never Sleeps“, the long awaited sequel to Oliver Stone’s Wall Street also starring Michael Douglas, and Shia Labeouf.  As one of the only females in the movie, her makeup definitely stood out amongst Hollywood’s heavy hitters attending the red carpet premiere.

To make her eyes stand out and give them a sexy edge, her makeup artist  highlighted underneath Carey’s brows, and focused on her eyes with a thick Cat Eyeliner and strip of false lashes to amp up the look and intensity of her face.  A wispy eyebrow slightly extended, and slightly darkened framed her face and finished the look. To create this look on yourself check out the Get in Line Eyeliner & Stencil Kit which includes a Cat Eyeliner Stencil.

How to Get Kristen’s Look:

Inspiration

“Kristen was wearing a stunning yellow and white laced dress by Valentino, so I wanted to give her bold smoky eyes and subtle nude lips to compliment it.”

Face

“I started by applying mark See Things Clearly Brightening Moisturizer to her face, followed by mark Face Xpert Flawless Touch Makeup in Natural with the mark Foundation Brush for a gorgeous smooth finish. To even out any flaws and create a completely even canvas, I applied mark Good Riddance Hook Up Concealer in Light/Medium around her nose and under her eyes. I set her foundation with mark Powder Buff Natural Skin Foundation in Natural. After the powder had set the foundation, I dusted mark Bronze Pro Bronzing Powder in Pro Golden to her cheeks, chin and forehead, using the mark Blush Brush. For a natural looking blush, I dusted mark Good Glowing Custom Pick Powder Blush in After Glo using the mark Angled Contour Face Brush to her cheeks.”

Eyes

“To create Kristen’s smoky eye, I used several shades from the mark On The Dot Eye Color Compact. Using the mark Hook Up Eyeshadow Brush, I applied the cream colored shade to her inner eyelid for a highlighting effect and swept the bronze shade to the middle of her eyelid, blending outwards with the same brush. Next, I applied the dark brown shade to the outer corners of her eyes and blended into the crease and upwards towards the brow bone using the mark Hook Up Angled Eyeshadow Brush. I then smudged the same dark brown color underneath and along her lower lashes using the mark Flat Eyeliner Brush. I finished off the look with two coats of mark Scanda-Lash Hook Up Mascara in Blacklash.”

Lips

“To keep Kristen’s lips looking neutral and dewy, I used mark Lipclick Full Color Lipstick in Bare Hug.”
