Expensive ITG,

I used to be simply in Cannes with Barbara Palvin! We’ve been working collectively for the final seven years, and this week I flew out to prep her for a few occasions, together with a film premiere yesterday. We constructed her crimson carpet make-up round a really vampy, ombre, shiny lip Barbara noticed and liked, so we went for tremendous clear, truthful pores and skin with a extremely mild contour to let the lips shine.

I began off the look with a lifting face therapeutic massage to chisel her cheekbones and jawline. I at all times have the lodge carry up an ice bucket, and I maintain a face curler in there till we’re prepared to make use of it. I really like the Futurewise Slug Increase Hydrating Mist and Slug Cream. Collectively, they actually plump up the pores and skin and create an exquisite base. Additionally they offer you an important slip for the face curler. I allow them to accept a few minutes so her pores and skin wasn’t too moist for the inspiration.

I really like to make use of shiny primers underneath basis to create a type of glistening pores and skin impact. I combine numerous issues. Saie’s Glow Tremendous Gel in Starglow works actually fantastically on Barbara’s pores and skin tone. I buffed it over the excessive factors of her face. I additionally love the Westman Atelier Liquid Tremendous Loaded Illuminator in Peau de Rosé and Chanel’s Glow Stick in Sculpting. Then I used the Chanel bronzing cream to heat up her pores and skin.

I used a Beautyblender and the basis brush from my assortment with Trademark Magnificence to buff on the Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk basis in shade 4.5. I’ve been utilizing this basis for years and years and it at all times images fantastically and stays on all through the evening. I additionally used the Dior Perpetually concealer in shade 2 Impartial. Barbara seems to be wonderful with nothing on her face, so she doesn’t want a lot assist, however I really like to make use of it underneath the eyes to brighten up the realm. I’m not a giant fan of baking, however to make it last more, I really like to make use of both Pat McGrath’s underneath eye powder or Charlotte Tilbury’s Airbrush Flawless setting powder.

To construct up her contour, I used the Westman Atelier Face Hint contour stick in Biscuit. I set it in place with the Anastasia Beverly Hills contour powder package—there’s a cool brown tone that’s nice. I completed it off with Charlotte Tilbury’s Filmstar Bronze & Glow in Gentle to Medium. I’ve been utilizing it on Barbara for years and it’s simply an outdated trusty favourite of mine. And I used the tiniest little bit of Chanel’s lip and cheek balm in Wholesome Pink very excessive on her cheekbones.

As soon as the pores and skin was set, I went in on her brows. Barbara’s acquired nice brows, so we stored it fairly easy. I simply ran an Hourglass forehead pencil and clear MAC forehead gel over them. Then I curled her lashes. I at all times use the Tweezerman ProCurl eyelash roller. On her eyelids, I truly used the Westman Atelier contour stick with create the form that I needed. It’s a superb multi-use product. From there, I went in with the Anastasia Beverly Hills mini Sultry eyeshadow palette. I used the highest proper matte shadow throughout her eye and pulled it out, adopted by the Giorgio Armani Eyes To Kill mascara. I crammed out the lash line with the MAC Fluidline gel eye liner utilizing a tiny brush. Then I took it a step additional with the Darkish Swan of Denmark Secret 03 Feather lashes. They’re the perfect and offer you a type of extension impact.

Throughout all of this, Barbara had Aquaphor on her lips to prep them for the important thing characteristic of the look. I began with the Anastasia Beverly Hills lip liner in Malt, a darkish chocolate brown. I used three completely different ABH lipstick colours. I used Sugar Plum throughout her lips, Royal Purple within the heart, and American Doll proper within the poppy a part of her lip. I topped it off with Tom Ford’s Gloss Luxe in Phantôme, which made the look so shiny on the crimson carpet.

She didn’t want any physique make-up for the premiere, however let me simply inform you: The Eleffect Tint is incredible. I used it on Barbara the opposite evening for a Roberto Cavalli occasion as a result of her gown had some cutouts. The tint took her from particularly reasonable to very tanned in only one sitting. If you need that just-came-back-from-holiday impact, that is for you.

Owen Gould did her hair. He gave her these fairly waves utilizing a Scorching Instruments iron and a few extensions. I noticed some LolaVie round, too. Paired with the make-up, the hair regarded completely beautiful. We have been all actually pleased.

Love,
Tobi Henney
