Get the Look: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Met Gala Red Lip

It’s not always easy to pull off a nude dress like the one Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore to Monday’s Met Gala. The color can make some complexions look washed out, which is why the right makeup look is literally everything when it comes to wearing a neutral color well. On Rosie, “We decided to go for a classic but strong look,” said Chanel Celebrity Makeup Artist Kate Lee. “We felt that she shouldn’t ‘fade away’ into that natural genre because she was wearing a dusty pink shade. We wanted to make a statement, and she looks devastating.” Here’s how Lee played up the British beauty’s strong feautres for the red carpet.
