2021 MET Gala Red Carpet Report
Celebrity Makeup Artist Nick Barose worked with Lupita Nyong’o, Lancôme Ambassador
INSPIRATION:
“Lupita’s denim Versace gown was inspired by the American West, so I wanted to draw inspiration from 90s Versace makeup, as well as Femme Fatale looks from old Hollywood western movies in the 40s – both had strong brows and bold lips. I wanted the look to be super glamorous and classic, but also tie-in the blue denim color, which is so iconically American.”
– Celebrity Makeup Artist Nick Barose
HOW TO GET THE LOOK:
SKIN
Prep with Lancôme Advanced Génifique Serum on skin and Advanced Génifique Eye Light Pearl under eyes.
Let it absorb for a few minutes and then blot away excess, especially on the t-zone with Oil Blotting Paper
Add Lancôme Prep & Matte Primer on the t-zone and side of the nose to ensure a long-wearing, shine-free effect
Apply Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear Foundation in 550 and 555.
Nick’s insider tip:
“I use a lighter shade on the center of her face and the darker shade around the perimeter to sculpt and define her face more in photos.”
Apply Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra Wear All Over Concealer in 520 under the eyes
Apply Lancôme Dual Finish Powder Foundation in 550 all over face using a powder puff
EYES
Brush brows with Lancôme Sourcils Styler in Brun, then fill them in to create a strong shape using Lancôme Sourcils Gel in Brun, applied with an angled brush to build out and create length for extra drama
Line the upper lash line with NEW Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil Waterproof Eye Liner in Cafe Noir and wing it out for extra 90s drama. Add more liner along lower lash lines, too
Nick’s insider tip:
“The easiest way to create winged out lines is by not doing one continuous line. It’s harder that way to be precise and symmetrical and I prefer to create the tails first so I can decide how long and what shapes the tails will be. Then, I line the entire eye and connect it with the wings later. So much easier!”
Apply the darker blue shade from the Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in Drama Denim (coming soon) on the upper eyelids and smoke it out on the bottom. Add the brighter blue from Lancôme Hypnôse 5-Color Eyeshadow Palette in Bleu Hypnotique from the palette on the center of lids and towards the outer corners, sweeping it up and out towards the temples
Finish off the eyes by adding Sephora Collection false lashes and applying 2 coats of Lancôme Monsieur Big Mascara for volume.

LIPS
Prep with Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge La Base Rose
Apply NEW Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Ink in Nuit Pourpre
To achieve the strong 90s-inspired femme fatale lips, line the lips with NEW Lancôme Drama Liqui-Pencil Waterproof Eye Liner in Cafe Noir – a black eyeliner – focusing more on the outer corners
