The oversized metal hardware on the plunging neckline of Elizabeth Olsen’s black Proenza Schouler dress led Chanel makeup artist Kate Lee to devise shimmering bronze eyes for the actress at the Los Angeles premiere of In Secret, on Thursday, February 6. Olsen plays the title role of an ingénue trapped in a loveless marriage in the film by Charlie Stratton based on the Émile Zola novel, Thérèse Raquin, alongside Oscar Isaac, Tom Felton, and Jessica Lange. The dress was eye-catching, but Olsen’s casual sparkling eyes added a dash of sophisticated glamour to the daring look as she walked the carpet at the ArcLight Hollywood.
EYES
“When I’m using a shimmery color, I usually start with the eyes, that way I can clean away any stray sparkles before the base. I primed the eyelids and then gently built up Chanel Illusion D’Ombre Long Wear Luminous Eyeshadow in Initiation, a shimmering bronze shade. The formula is amazing, so easy to use. After the lashes were curled, they were given one coat of Le Volume de Chanel Mascara in Noir.”
FACE
“I began by cleansing the skin, and used Chanel Hydra Beauty Serum to add moisture and then sealed it in using Chanel Le Blanc Light Revealing Brightening Makeup Base SPF 30. Next, and only where needed, I gently blended a few drops of Chanel Vitalumiere Aqua Ultra-Light Skin Perfecting Makeup Broad Spectrum SPF 15 to give the skin uniformity. I highlighted the cheekbones with Make Up Forever Uplight, and added a little Laura Mercier cream blush in Canyon to the apples of the cheeks.”
LIPS
“I used Chanel Hydra Beauty Nourishing Lip Care on Lizzie’s lips, blotted them, and then used Chanel Rouge Coco Shine Hydrating Sheer Lipshine in Mutine (available in April) to give the lips a natural moisturized look.”
