Red carpet make-up is all about clever definition and dynamic colours. Most Hollywood starlets would spend a good hour and a half in the make-up chair on the afternoon of a big event. This would follow a rigorous skincare regime in the weeks beforehand to ensure skin is clear, glowing and poreless.
Red Carpet glamour is the most committed of all the make-up rituals, as the look has to stay fresh and flawless for hours afterwards. Scarlett Johansson for example loves a retro look of a rosebud complexion, red lips, neat and defined brows and a geometric black eye liner.
I love using Stargazer products on Scarlett as the pigment is deep so you can best gauge your look depending on how dramatic you want to go. The colour spectrum is so vast which is great for a red carpet look if the celebrity wants to match her eye make-up perfectly to her gown. I love to apply a thin layer of foundation, the blot then repeat the process this is what I do for my bridal clients and how they maintain that freshness all through the day and night.
The only thing they need to reapply is their lips otherwise they can confidently rely on their look all day and night which is essential for red carpet glamour.
Never fear shadows. They simply mean there's a light shining somewhere nearby.
