Paula Patton Golden Globes Makeup and Beauty

Yesterday when Mr. Milly and I watched the Golden Globes, I think I saw him start to drool like a hungry puppy when Paula Patton walked on the red carpet. Sheesh, she looked so beautiful, I think I was drooling too. lol. Anyway, click below for  her makeup and beauty breakdown done by Covergirl artist Fiona Stiles.  The pic is courtesy of P&G COVERGIRL via Fleishman/MMC.


Inspiration/Dress: Paula was wearing a strapless Monique Lhuillier gown, a beautiful sunny yellow.  We wanted to keep the look light and pretty, focusing on lashes and cheeks, playing up the happy element of the color.

 

·         Face: After prepping the skin, I used a flat synthetic foundation brush to swipe on COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Liquid Makeup in Rich Sand <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-naturalhueliquidmakeup>, applying it to the bridge of the nose, the cheeks, the forehand and the chin.  Then I used the brush to blend the color out towards the jaw and hairline, going over the base with a criss-cross motion to ensure that it was well blended and there were no lines.  I used a little COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Concealer in Light <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-naturalhueconcealer> to cover any darkness under the eye or redness along the side of the nose, feathering it out so it blended perfectly with the foundation. Before I powdered with COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Pressed Powder in Light Bronze <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-naturalhuepressedpowder>, I used a dual fiber brush to apply a bit of COVERIGRL + Olay Simply Ageless Sculpting Blush in Lush Berry<http://www.covergirl.com/simplyageless-sculptingblush> onto the apples of the cheeks and then after I powdered,  I used a touch of COVERGIRL Cheekers Blush in Classic Pink <http://www.covergirl.com/cheekersblush> to brighten the face a bit more. 

 

·         Application Tip: I like to combine cream and powder blush – just make sure you apply "like to like," so use the cream blush before you powder and the powder blush after the makeup is set.

 

·         Eyebrows: Next I focused on the brows.  I gave them a nice full look by adding a little to the shape with COVERGIRL Brow & Eyemakers Pencil in Midnight Brown <http://www.covergirl.com/brow&eyemakerspencil>.  The key to making it not look too heavy is to run a clean spooly through the brows after you fill in with pencil.  This softens the lines and blends the color in, making it undetectable.  Set the brows with a clear gel, brushing the hairs into the desired shape.

 

·         Eyes: For the eyes, I started by sweeping COVERGIRL Queen Collection Natural Hue Bronzer in Light Bronze <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-naturalhuebronzer> over the lid, giving the eye a wash of warmth and a little depth, while still looking like her skin.  Then I took COVERGIRL Queen Collection Eyeliner in Black Onyx <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-eyeliner> and drew a black line all along the upper lash line, pushing it into the lashes.  Taking a small synthetic brush, I smudged the line, softening the edge, making it less severe. I used a little black liner on the bottom as well, pushing it deep into the lashes so that when I applied NEW COVERGIRL LashBlast 24HR Mascara, the illusion  was thicker, darker lashes.

 

·         Lips: A soft pale, peachy lip achieved using COVERGIRL Queen Collection Lip Gloss in Starlet Sand <http://www.covergirl.com/queencollection-lipgloss>, made Paula look radiant without distracting too much from the eyes, and the wash of warm pink on the cheeks gave her a fresh, healthy flush.

 

·         Focus: The eyes--soft liner and strong lashes--were the focus of the look, so the lips and cheeks were just meant to compliment them.

 

·         What’s in the clutch?: I gave Paula her lip gloss, a few cotton buds, and some blotting papers for her to take with her on the red carpet.  I wish I could be there to touch up my clients when they get to the red carpet, but once I leave them they are on their own.  The challenge is fitting all of those touch up supplies in those teeny tiny clutches!

Did you love Paulas look?

I did. 


I love her in Mission Impossible. She did a great job!


Hugs, 


Milly
