Gwyneth Paltrow sported an “elegantly bronzed” look on the Oscars red carpet, says her makeup artist.
The actress dazzled at the 84th Annual Academy Awards in a chic caped Tom Ford gown and minimal accessories. Gwyneth worked with beauty professional Leslie Lopez to achieve her stunning makeup.
Leslie explained she wanted to create a look that "complemented the dress and was still sophisticated enough for the red carpet,” describing it as “elegantly bronzed”.
According to website Beauty High, the makeup artist started with NARS Pure Radiant Tinted Moisturiser in order to give Gwyneth a “dewy base”. She then created a radiant glow with Super Orgasm Illuminator on the “apples of her cheeks”.
For the eyes, Leslie applied Alhambra Duo Eyeshadow on the eyelid for a “pop of gold colour”. She then added Maybelline’s brown liquid eyeliner in the lash line.
She finished the overall look with NARS Larger Than Life Volumizing Mascara and used a slick of gloss on Gwyneth’s pout.
Meanwhile, hairstylist Adir Abergel created a “sleek and modern interpretation of the low-nape ponytail.”
He prepped Gwyneth’s hair with Fekkai Coiff Ironless Straightening Balm from the roots to ends of her damp hair.
He then created a deep side parting using a comb and blow dried the hair without a brush, making sure to “keep the part and desired shape to the hair.”
Adir then flat ironed the hair until it was “completely smooth” and pulled the hair back into a low ponytail.
The hair professional chose to allow the elastic hairbands to show as he wanted to give Gwyneth’s tresses a bit of “raw edge”. © Cover Media
