Not only did Kate Beckinsale rock the red carpet at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, she actually looked like a party all her own. And a really stellar party, at that. She donned a black, strapless Monique Lhuillier gown beaded in metallics in an almost firework-like design and looked stunning.
Makeup artist Molly Stern went with a sexy, understated look using Rimmel London products. With her hair in a messy ponytail up-do, her subtle, gorgeous makeup was an outstanding pairing to give her an easy, sexy look.
How to Get Kate’s Glowing Skin and Peachy Cheeks
To give Kate her lovely glow, Stern prepped her skin with Seve De Rose Ultra-Glow Double Serum By Terry ($120, amazon.com). Then, to even out her skin tone, she used Chantecaille Future Skin Foundation ($86.70, amazon.com).
As a base for Kate’s blush, Stern used Rimmel Wake Me Up Instant Radiant Shimmer Touch ($12.99, amazon.com) in Peach Glow, which she topped with Laura Mercier Cream Blush in Rosebud ($24, amazon.com). Then she brushed Rimmel Lasting Finish Soft Colour Blush in Santa Rose ($5.95, amazon.com) on the apples of Kate’s Cheeks.
How to Get Kate’s Golden-Beige Eyes
Kate’s eyes were a subtly beautiful khaki color. For her shadow, Stern started with Rimmel ScandalEyes Eye Shadow Stick in Bulletproof Beige ($8.99, amazon.com), which she gave depth to with NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Paramaribo ($34, amazon.com).
For eyeliner, Stern used Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Black ($9.99, amazon.com) to line close to Kate’s top lashline and right below her lower lashline. Then she used Rimmel ScandalEyes Waterproof Kohl Kajal Eyeliner in Nude ($10.49, amazon.com) to line Kate’s water line.
Finally, she finished the look with a few swipes of Rimmel ScandalEyes Show Off Mascara in Black ($12.99, amazon.com).
Get Kate’s Petal Pink Lips
To give pink her gorgeous lips, Stern first used Rimmel Lasting Finish Lipstick in Pink Blush ($6.99, amazon.com) and topped it off with Rimmel Stay Glossy Lipgloss in Always Lovely ($7.06, amazon.com).
Bottom Line
For an evening out, especially in a stunning, eye-catching dress, something sexy and subtle can be perfect for makeup. This look in peaches, pinks, and beiges brought out Kate Beckinsales natural beauty and complemented her dramatic dress.
