Hailee Steinfeld rocked the red carpet at the premiere of her latest movie Ender’s Game with a lovely beauty look that consisted of pretty purple makeup, a sleek ponytail and blunt bangs. Celebrity Makeup Artist Steven Sollitto beat the 16-year-old Oscar nominated actress’ face to glamorous perfection by creating a flirty look to complement her white sequined lip print Yves Saint Laurent top and tailored black pants.
One of the first things that stood out about Hailee’s look was how glowing and smooth her skin looked.
The secret to achieving flawless makeup is having healthy skin to work with and Steven’s secret weapon for this look was Bioré Pore Unclogging Scrub ($5.99 at select food, drug and mass merchant stores and Biore.com).
“Nothing can be taken for granted on such a big night,” Steven explained. “So, to make sure Hailee’s skin looked its best we started by using Bioré Pore Unclogging Scrub to exfoliate and refine the skin. I can’t express how important a clean healthy canvas is for makeup. The Bioré Pore Unclogging Scrub feels fresh, lathers beautifully, and smells clean. A little attention to your skin before a big night goes a long way.”
Here are Steven’s tips on how to get the look:
- To make sure Hailee’s skin looked its best, we started by using Bioré Pore Unclogging Scrub to exfoliate and refine the skin. I can’t express how important a clean healthy canvas is for makeup. The Bioré Pore Unclogging Scrub feels fresh, lathers beautifully and smells clean. A little attention to your skin before a big night goes a long way.
- For moisturizer I used a Light Cream before applying a MAC Face and Body foundation, which I find works well on most women. Plus, this foundation allows me to go light or heavy depending on the area of the face.
- Originally we were going to do a wet glossy red lip to match the top. We all loved it but then thought about the longevity of the look. I didn’t want her worried about her lips as she was doing interview after interview, so we used the Jouer Riviera Gloss to help mimic the sequins of her top.
- To highlight the eyes, I used purples hues to bring out the gold in her eyes. To start her eye, I brushed shadow a bronze all across her lids and underneath her bottom lashes from Votre Vu called Copper Suede. Then, in order to give her some definition at her lashes, I used NARS Gel Liner in Tatar (this is a purple that reads black to most people, but it is softer) as well as MAC’s Strong Willed Pencil, which I smudged back and forth for a softer look. Next, I took a small but wide eye shadow brush and swept MAC Red Violet under her lashes and out at the corners of her eyes. I lined her inner bottom lids with Laura Mercier’s Violet Pencil. Two Coats of Benefit Bad Gal Lash in Black and her eyes were ready for those flashes on the red carpet.
- On Hailee’s cheeks, I can’t help but use Laura Mercier’s Praline Creme Cheek Blush – I just love the color. A very up-to-date choice in all its peachy apricot.
What do you think of Hailee’s look for the Ender’s Game premiere? Will you be recreating it for yourself?
