Today's Sunday the day before the biggest Monday of all of the fashion
year, the first Monday in May. It's the Met Gala. I'm here with my incredible
makeup artist Mel Inglessis. Because this is the fashion prom we're gonna test my
look for tomorrow and really find exactly how we want to do my makeup.
This year I'm showing how to get my look before if it's the red carpet. This is
how to get my Met Gala look. I was supposed to get a facial, missed my facial
and also I've been traveling a lot and slept with a lot of makeup on my face
last night so my skin is not looking so good M: It looks amazing
K: No I need a little love. Give me your magic. M: I mean we're just gonna start with
a mask, which is always a good start. K: PowerFoil mask? I always
feel like on Met Ball day it's stressful, everybody's running around. It's almost
like a wedding day, it really is. M:Just gonna do a tiny little bit of an eye cream.
K: This one I love. It really kind of hydrates those like, there's a different kind of
tissue on the skin under your eye versus different areas of your face, so this is
specifically made for the eyes. M: I mean Advanced Night Repair, but in the day it's also good.
This just add radiance and moisturize the skin. I mean look at glowy
her skin is right now and it's really ready for makeup. I can feel it it's not sticky.
K: One of the secret ingredients and the ANR is hyaluronic acid, which is
really hydrating and I used to say oh there's hydrochloric acid in ANR and
then they were like no no there's not hydrochloric, there's hyaluronic. Very different.
So since the theme of this year's Met Gala is camp, which is basically
excess and over the top and we're embracing that and both the dress the
fabric and the jewelry. We really want the makeup to be a complementary kind of
flawless, fresh, cool, elegance, but nothing nothing too much. M: We're gonna use a primer
It just because you know as you said it's gonna be all day and then
all night and a primer help the foundation really stay on and the whole
makeup. What I like about this primer is it's actually an illuminator so it has a
luminous feel to it. This is one of my favorite foundation Double Wear from Estée Lauder
That's your color, but I wanted to be a little more
luminous. So I'm gonna mix it with MAC with those Dazzle Drops. So I'm
gonna mix a couple of drop of this. K: Which is great because the thing about this is
that I'm gonna be dancing all night long and this stays in place. Youre like an Alchemist. A little bit of this, a little bit of that.
M: With foundation like Karlie's skin is gorgeous she does not need full coverage everywhere so you
can still see the skin texture showing through, which is really important for me.
K: At the Met Gala you have thousands of photos taken from every angle and it's
super super high definition so you can see every makeup brush, every pore
for every, you know, for better or worse. So if you're wearing too much makeup in
the photos it looks like it. M: So what I do now is with a little brush I'm just
gonna take some of the areas that are a little redder. So around the nose,
mainly, because what I don't want is to build a heavy coverage everywhere, but
some places need a little more coverage. So it's like spot concealer. Then I take a
fan brush and I just go over some of the areas that need a little more coverage.
It's just a really lovely flawless foundation. What's important for me is a
flawless skin with no marks, no lines you know what I mean. K: That's where
Mel's magic really is. M: So we're going to concealer now so I'm gonna use a flat
brush for my concealer to really target it where I need it
M: People tend to get red right here so I take, I brush it out and always lift it out.
The lid is to prepare it for the shadow so we losing that redness of the
skin. So this is one of my favorite products it's Laura Mercier K: Illuminating
M: The luminous and it's specifically mainly for under the eyes
just press it on and you just lift it out. So we decide on a sunkissed look
right, but I don't want to be too heavy obviously. So I'm gonna use the same
foundation we used earlier, but I'm going to use a darker shade. Don't be scared K: okay
M: Okay. I think with cream you can be a little more playful. It just warms it up
and it brings a little definition to the face, very lightly. One of the thing with
Karlie is I love her little beauty spots, so I always bring it back. K: No, Mel I love that you always define it.
M: I always define it back. K: And I love that because it's authentically me! Instead of hiding it you bring it out. Take whatever it is
that is special to you and embrace that and build around that instead of trying
to like be one idea of like the ideal beauty that doesn't exist anymore.
I think it's also much more about like just accentuating your natural beauty.
M: So now we go to the brows, which is also a trademark for you. You love a strong brow.
K: Love a brow. M: it just you know work like this up. K: Mel knows me so well, she's done my brows a million times
you can do this in your sleep. M: Let's try to start working on the eyes and see how
we go. I like to work with a lot of pencils. Easy to blend, easy, couple of steps.
The strongest always goes in the outer
corner I don't really want to dark on the inner corner. You want to keep
the light there. K: Wow you would think it would kind of make it look like I am
tired under the eyes, but it actually opens up the eyes so much. M: I'm looking at eye
shape I wouldn't mind having a little bit of the brown color, look straight.
down low, only just right there on the other corner to elongate the eyes a
little. I only went like a quarter in up to right here because I don't want to
close your eyes by putting a darker color all the way down so it's just
really right there, working that color here. K: Even if you were to do your makeup
and stop here, I think that's a really good kind of subtle smoky eye to do. So it just kind of gives a little bit of a pop.
M: Let's try this, but I'm not married to this as a pop of fun on the inner corner
only. If we don't like it we wipe it out.
K: Oh! It is camp so we want to have more. More as more as more. I love the the fresh lid the
fact that there's no heavy makeup or shadow on the lid, on the brow bone, I
think that makes it really youthful. Do we have the earrings? I should maybe put those on now so you can maybe get a
feel for the color? Okay so to get an idea of what I'll be wearing tomorrow
and without showing you my dress, I'm gonna be wearing these earrings along
with lots of really kind of eclectic rings. So to give Mel a bit of a taste of
my jewelry and how that might affect how we want to do makeup. M: Now that I see
the earrings I'm really happy with the gold on the inner corner. I think that
picks up. See now that I'm looking at it with the earrings I'm thinking we should
do bottom mascara. Funny, earlier I didn't. Now, I'm like let's do a little bit of mascara.
K: And then a little bit of Sumptuous Extreme M:So it's back and forth
back and forth and down. If you have too much butter can be really clumpy
K: So with the earrings yes it's helpful to have a little bit more definition
M: I'm gonna now do a highlighter. So the matte powder is only gonna even be
applied here because you know sometimes with a flash on the red carpet, if this is shiny it
reflects and it looks like there's a big shiny spot so this is an area that
always has to be more or less matte. This is quite amazing because this is a
powder from Estee Lauder that is small enough to be in those bags that nothing
fits in, by the way. Before you hit the red carpet powder here, powder around
your nose and powder here.
I think it's chic. You know we have, you know it's an overall well balanced look.
We don't have a hugely strong eye or a hugely strong lip, but we have beautiful skin
we have a definition on the eyes, we're picking up the color from the earrings
and from your dress. I'm happy with it I'm very happy with it. K: Yeah? Can I take a peak? M:Yes please.
K: I love the definition under the eye, I think that really kind of opens it up. Makeup
everything tomorrow we can kind of tweak tomorrow, but do you feel?
M: I feel great. K:Two thumbs up? Two thumbs up. Okay I'm really excited and also I'm
really relieved that we're doing this makeup test today on Sunday so I think
we're in a good place guys this will be my makeup for the Met Gala
and when you tune in tomorrow you guys will be able to see a video of the
making of my dress Oh last thing we forgot the finishing spray right?
M:We did forget, let's do it right now
