Katy Perry @ 2010 Grammy Awards
Katy Perry @ 2010 52nd Grammy Awards
It’s actually kind of awesome to see a celebrity walk the red carpet with so much makeup on… just in the sense of color! eyeshadow! mascara! oh my. I love the lips!
Makeup How-to & Breakdown
Celebrity makeup artist, Jake Bailey, used a variety of bindis Katy brought back from a recent trip to India to create a “Bettie Page, Indian Princess look” for this year’s awards. J
To perfect her skin, Jake used Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation and to set the look, he dusted Guerlain Les Violettes Matte Touch Powder all over the face.
Jake then highlighted the apples of her cheeks with CORALista blush from benefit.
Keeping with the exotic feel, Jake used a mixture of shimmery plums and golds on her eyes. “I was going for a more colorful version of the tradition smoky eye,” said Jake. Jake used COVERGIRL’s double-ended smoky eye stick, Smoky Shadow Blast in Purple Plume by first applying the angled end of the shadow stick, the deeper plum, over the entire lid and blending into a smoky halo. He then applied Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire, using the round, golden end to line along the lid and inner corners of her eyes to brighten the look.
To complete her smoky eye, Jake created an ultra-long lash look with several coats of COVERGIRL LashBlast Length in black. “The best thing about this mascara is that you can apply coat after coat to get maximum impact without losing separation and elegance,” said Jake.
To balance her dramatic eyes without overpowering them, Jake finished her look with a matte lip, using COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Wild Berry Wink. “I love these Lipstains so much because you can line and shape the entire lip without sacrificing your own lip texture,” Jake finished.

Is it just me or does she look like she’s had some work done? She looks very… taut. But I love the colours of her makeup, and the dress.
I was just about to post the same thing. Something is going on there. Botox and fillers, perhaps?
Katy’s always been really busty in terms of body, and her face always looks pretty rigid “deer in headlights.” Besides, she’s too young to have work done!
I think this is a miss… Her eye make up makes her look like a deer on a highway
She… looks like that a lot of the time, I think, make-up or no.
I’m not too hip on the clutch; kinda unbalances everything for me.
i LOVE katy perry but her dress doesnt rlly fit her
she always wears fun, bright stuff….this is boring
but her makeup looks gorgeous, like always
i like the makeup but i hate the dress. it looks like something an old person would wear.
Her smile looks very unnatural.. and I’m not digging those short bangs either!
All of this is a miss for me.. even the weird kind of orange nail color XD
I love the makeup, but that dress is not that flattering on her. =/
This is a complete miss to me. Everything seems last minute and rushed. I think her makeup would’ve came together if her eyebrows was together but too much pink or wrong pink color cominations…. something is wrong with it.
I love Katy Perry, love love love her! I’d still love her even if she wore a chicken suit to the Grammy’s, but this, to me, looks kind of… terrible. The dress isn’t very flattering and what the hell might that jewel be on her forehead and why is it there?? Her make-up is all right, got to love the pink lips on her- that’s something she can definitely pull off. But the rest… why, Katy? I’d much rather see her in something bright, retro, vintage, her usual style, something that shows more of her personality. This is a grandma dress..
Still love her, though.
That “jewel” on her forehead is called a Bindi, it is worn by Indian women and has an ancient cultural significance for married women… these days it’s more of an accessory and extremely popular if you are Indian. Vibrant colors and Jewels is what their looks are all about. The post does say she just came back from India recently.
Love the colours and the lashes..
..and that is all.
This dress. This dress. From the color, to the unflattering way it’s cut, to the funny little flowers, to the sequins galore. There is nothing redeeming about it, unfortunately. Even more so when paired with that glittery clutch. Oh boy. It’s not wild. It’s just meh.
The make-up isn’t bad, though I’m distracted from it by the funny decal on her forehead. I don’t get it. :<
I’d love this dress in a different shade w/o the flowers. Love her hair.
YiKeS! She is a mess! The bindi looks like cheap version of Gwen’s style.
The hair, dress and just everything makes her look very… long? Like stretched out in a weird way.
whats wrong with the right side of her face? the nose and cheekbone? looks like the foundation was TOTALLY unblended or something.
Not working for me
the foundation is caked on for real. and whats going on with her hair? Its a fail look to me.
i wish people would know the difference between glamour and halloween. its and award dinner not a masquerade show.
I hate everything!! Make, dress… just awful
AHAHAHHAA!!! I hate to be hatin’ but I have to say I have never been a fan of Katy Perry and I am so gleeful to see that she isn’t receiving a single totally positive comment, even from her fans!
i really wish she’d grow her bangs out a little more! her face is too long/big for bangs that short…and of course the dress is stupid, especially that flesh-tone color :-/
Is is just me or does she always look like her makeup was inspired by barbie? I would have loved to see her do something different then her usually baby pink lip and lashes
Lovely dress & perfect body… there is something odd on her face… eyes too wide open ? Nice m/u though.
No….from top to borrom…no.
Her skin, however, is flawless.
FAIL.
I just can’t love this and i love me some katy.
*sigh*
This complete look doesn’t do much for me, actually. It’s not that I want to gasp in horror, it’s just very “meh”. I think some of the aspects could work very well on their own (even the bindi), but together it doesn’t look right. She doesn’t look comfortable in her clothes, either.
I didn’t think she looked so bad at first, but after reading the comments and going back – it’s just not how I like to see her (vintage retro stuff that reminds me of a more brightly colored Dita Von Teese is still what’s going for her).
I think her makeup looks great!
oooh! Love the makeup! A nice change of pace.
When I first saw the makeup I was really hoping for a more traditional indian style dress. I think this dress is totally throwing off the look they were going for. I am not thrilled with the lipstick they used.
i don’t like the dress, but her eyes are gorgeous
I love Katy Perry’s style… everything she does! Including this look which looks vintage. That bindi is out of place but understandable since she was just in India. Her makeup is so doable. I love that her makeup artist used drugstore items to put this look together. I want to try that foundation by Make up Forever now, her skin looks flawless!
she’s just odd
ive never really been a fan of katy perry. the only thing i love about her look is the lip color.
I wonder what shade of MUFE HD she’s wearing… anybody knows?
Covergirl is a surprise to me.
Those lipstains are terrible imo… hmmm
I love the bindi, and how big her eyes look!
i like the makeup … but not the dress at all.
I do like the little clutch. very cute
