Get the Look: Amy Adams’ Gold Eye Makeup

If your calendar looks anything like ours, party season is in full swing. Instead of spending time thinking about how to wear your makeup for each occasion, why not master a goes-with-everything look that you can repeat from now until the New Year? Amy Adams’ gold eye makeup from last night’s Big Eyes premiere in New York is the perfect choice.
 
Makeup artist Stephen Sollitto, who prepped Adams for the appearance, said, “I am always inspired by three things: the woman I am working with, the dress, and the event. All those things together dictate color and direction for me and I immediately thought gold, especially because of the color of her olive dress,” he explained. “Olive and gold is a great color combination.” Here’s exactly how to recreate the gilded look for your own night out.

    Highlighter

    “I then dusted Chanel Limited Edition Camélia de Plumes Highlighting Powder on specific areas — the forehead, on top of the cheek bone, the bridge of the nose and chin—to brighten up the complexion. This way the skin looks glowing on the red carpet.”

    Liquid Liner

    “Then to make the eyes really stand out, I traced the faintest line of Chanel Ligne Graphique Liquid Eyeliner in Noir right at the outer corner of the upper lash line. To brighten the eyes I like to use Chanel Limited Edition Stylo Yeux Waterproof Long-Lasting Eyeliner in Or Blanc on the inner corners."

    Lipstick

    “I wanted a lip that would make her eyes pop blue. At first I thought of red, but I didn't want it to steal away from the dress so instead I chose a raisin color. I started with Chanel Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care to prep the lips. Then I chose Chanel Rouge Allure Velvet Luminous Matte Lip Colour in L'Amoureuse.”
