So last night was the Costume Institute gala, a.k.a. the Met Ball, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Fashion’s finest, and their Hollywood faves, get together every year to raise funds for the Costume Institute, the division of the museum dedicated to fashion history. The current exhibit is “The Model As Muse,” so supermodels from every era were in attendance, from Carmen Dell’Orefice to one of our new favorites, Lara Stone. The event is the closest thing New York has to the Academy Awards.
We were thrilled to work with the makeup artists for a handful of the stellar attendees, including Lancôme ambassador Anne Hathaway; Lancôme spokesmodels Daria Werbowy and Arlenis Sosa; supermodels Alek Wek, Du Juan and Michelle Alves, and the awesomely chic and lovely Vanessa Traina. Here’s the dish on a few of the looks. We’ll have the rest for you tomorrow. (It’s getting late and I’m blogging past bedtime!)
Celebrity makeup artist and major sweetheart Daniel Martin did supermodel Michelle Alves’ pretty, natural makeup. He accentuated the eyes with Lancôme Color Design Eyeshadow Quad in Haute Sunset, a palette of neutral, peachy and beige shades. (See Michelle above in a gorgeous Marchesa dress.) To create definition, he lined the eyes with Le Crayon Khôl in Noir and added a few coats of Ôscillation Vibrating Mascara in Black. A dusting of Blush Subtil in Miel Glace was applied to the apples of the cheek. Daniel used Color Design Lipstick in Love It and Color Fever Gloss in Rose Jolie to create a high-shine, pink pout.
Daniel also created the look for Vanessa Traina (see above, modern in sleek, blue Phi). He applied Artliner in Noir to the lash line starting at the inner corner and blended it out, then coated the lashes with Ôscillation Mascara in Black to add length. He added just a touch of color to her cheeks with Color Design Blush in Chic Cassis, applied with his finger. To finish the look, Daniel used L’Absolu Rouge in Rich Cashmere, the perfect hue for a beige, nude lip.
Celebrity makeup artist Oslyn Holder, a Lancôme favorite, worked with supermodel Alek Wek (above in bright pink Ungaro). First, Oslyn lined the upper lash line with Le Stylo Waterproof in Noir and blended Color Design Eyeshadow in Statuesque and Backstage Pass on the eyelid. To make Alek’s eyes pop, she applied several coats of Hypnôse Mascara in Deep Black. Next, Oslyn added some color to the cheeks using Color Design Cream Blush in Chic Cassis. She finished the look with Color Fever Gloss in Intense to create a beautiful, deep burgundy pout.
