One winning look from the January 8 ceremony: Au Fudge entrepreneur Jessica Biel, who stunned in a modern take on classic cat eyes.
Her makeup artist, Kara Yoshimoto Bua, tells Stylish, “Jessica wore an incredible black velvet gown with graphic lines and lots of texture, so I wanted to mimic that feel – with a look that was modern yet romantic. I gave her a graphic cat eye balanced with a soft nude lip.”
To create the cat-eye, Bua drew a clean line with a black eyeliner pen along the lash lines and extended it out past the end of Biel’s eyes.
She coated the top lashes in black mascara, then used a waterproof brown mascara on the lower lashes for a softer effect to “Not drag the eye down.” Says Bua, “Jessica is really down-to-earth and she likes her makeup to still ‘be her.’ So even when creating a cat eye, we didn’t want to go too glam. Just simple with a pop.”
“It’s easier to play around with,” Bua says.
Once Biel’s eyes were done, Bua used a light hand on the rest of the actress’s face, since she “Wanted her great skin to shine through.” Highlighter pens contoured, while bronzer and a pop of warm peach blush added some subtle shimmer and glow.
“I didn’t want her to have a lot of upkeep; she’s a very natural person. So I didn’t do any liner, just an easy application of Chanel’s Crayon de Couleur Jumbo Longwear Lip Crayon in Nude,” Bua tells Stylish.
