I decided to do a celebrity-inspired look from the Oscars 2012 award show. I really liked Angelina Jolie’s makeup (her makeup always looks flawless!). Angelina’s makeup artist did a red carpet look with a little twist to it. It looks like Angelina has gold, orange and soft brown colors on her eyelid. She didn’t use much liner and she kept her water line clean ( according to the pics I saw). It’s hard to tell the exact eyeshadows she used on her eyes, but I used what I had and came up with this look.
I applied MAC’S Honesty eyeshadow, which is a champagne, shimmery color, in the inner one-third of my lid with a flat shading brush. Next, I took a soft tangerine colored eyeshadow from the ELF eyeshadow palette and mixed it with a gold colored eyeshadow from MAC, called Mystique, and applied in to the center of my lids. For the outer corner of my eyes, I used a matte brown eyeshadow from Nars, called Coconut Grove. I didn’t apply this color too heavily, because Nars’ eyeshadows are super pigmented (love them!). Also, Angelina didn’t have too much dark eyeshadow on, so I was trying to keep the look very subtle and as close to her look as possible. I used a soft brownish-gray color in my crease to create the perfect transition to my brow highlight color. Then, I applied a creamy, white eyeshadow as my brow highlight. Lastly, I took the Coconut Grove matte brown eyeshadow and ran it half-way on mylower lash line. I used the champagne color I started with and applied it to the inner half of my lower lash line. I used a brown liquid liner from ELF cosmetics to line my upper lash line. According to the pic of Angelina at the Oscars, it looks like she added a pair of end lashes to her look, so you can also apply false eyelashes to complete the look (I didn’t put on any falsies).
On my lips, I wore a red lipstick from NYX that was darker than what Angelina wore (I used what I have, no need to buy more cosmetics to get a look). Then, I applied a tangerine/orange lipstick from Iman cosmetics on the center of my lips. I blended both lipstick colors together and created the Tangerine red lips Angelina rocked on the red carpet! If you have any questions about this look, please comment below! Thanks
This is a gorgeous look, you look great!
