Makeup suggestions for the Red Carpet and/or Black-Tie events

With my sweetpea, Stef, from @weheartthisdotcom. #emmys
I can state this with absolute certainty: I never, ever expected that I would ever be doing actual red carpet makeup on myself.

Soooooooo, to prep for the Emmys this year, I asked LA-based makeup artist as well as all-around-nice-gal Vanessa Haro for a few of her finest red carpet makeup tips.

Vanessa has done makeup for the Oscars, for picture shoots in magazines, as well as for gajillions (I don’t understand if that’s an actual number…) of brides in the So Cal area.

She likewise glams up a few of the seriously sexiest designs in LA — as well as those women have butts — promise to gawd — that make me want to do squats every hour for the rest of my life. ΧΑΧΑΧΑ!

TMI, however it’s so true.

So yeah, sweetheart is busy.

Anywho, before the show I told her, as calmly as possible, that I was type of freaking out about my Emmys makeup situation. I couldn’t figure out what to do, as well as she was kind sufficient to help.

Here are four of Vanessa’s top black-tie/formal/gala extravaganza makeup tips.

1. get your mattes

“Red rugs requirement makeup to be a bit heavier than normal, however no glitter/shimmer on the face. It has a tendency to look cray. I utilize mainly neutral matte shadows as well as matte peachy blush with matte peachy bronzers.”

2. location shimmer strategically

“Highlighter ought to be extremely soft. If you can, get your hands on Kohgendo’s liquid Illuminator in Beige. It looks gorgeous above the cheekbones, on the inner corners of the eyes, as well as best along the Cupid’s bow. Or, try a extremely finely milled powder — the BECCA ones used extremely lightly may work. For the eyes, I add a touch of pearl surface shadow best on the lid, keeping it better to the lash line as well as perhaps a teeny bit of shimmery eye shadow along the outer part of the crease.”

3. Go a few shades deeper for lips

“I try to keep lips a few shades deeper than the natural tone with a bit of gloss best in the center.”

4. turn up those lashes

“Go a bit heavier on the lashes as well as mascara.”

If you’d like to inspect out Vanessa’s work (it is AMAZING!), or possibly get in touch with her to book her for an event, get in touch with her by Instagram at @MakeupbyNessa or with Facebook at charm By Vanessa Haro.

Better hurry, though — she books up fast! I really wished to hire her to do my makeup, however she’d already had commitments. next time, Nessa!

ΥΣΤΕΡΟΓΡΑΦΟ. υπέροχο πρωινό! I’m rising as well as shining over here. Wasn’t last night fun? I hope you delighted in hanging out. who understands when we’ll be able to come back to the Emmys.

I believe the whole live-blogging thing worked out quite well, too. I’m amazed the show peeps enabled video camera phones in the audience. I don’t understand why… I just didn’t understand what to expect. They didn’t, however, enable routine full-size cameras (shoot). just smartphones.
