Kate Lee came up with Anne Hathaway’s classic look for the Golden Globe Awards.

“Anne looked statuesque tonight. The dress was a deep navy colour, the top layer was black net, and had vibrant azure blue beading which complemented her alabaster skin tone. It is always my intention to make the look classic when it is for an award show.”

Kate chose to keep the eye sculptural and neutral. She took a small brush and blended the darkest shade in the CHANEL QUADRA EYE SHADOW in MYSTIC EYES from the lash line upwards slightly to soften the line. In the socket line, she used a tiny amount of CHANEL SOFT TOUCH EYESHADOW in SLATE (launching in June 2009, given to Kate in advance for the Golden Globes), just enough to define the socket, and a tiny amount along the lower lash line. Next, she curled the eye lashes and applied sever layers of CHANEL INIMITABLE WATERPROOF MASCARA in Noir. Lancome Le Crayon Poudre in Brunet was the perfect product to gently add depth and definition to Anne’s brows.

Kate sculpted the cheekbones with CHANEL POWDER BLUSH in NUDE, and on the top of the cheek bones and along the jaw and clavicle she used Lancôme Absolue Powder in Absolute Peche.

The lips were a perfect dark raspberry shade stain. To achieve this effect, Kate lined the lips in CHANEL LIP DEFINER in NATURAL, a shade that matched the colour of Anne’s natural lip shade. Making sure the lips where moisturized and supple, she gently padded on CHANEL HYDRABASE LIPSTICK in LOTUS ROUGE, blending the edges of the lips so that there were no hard lines of colour.

As a perfect finishing touch, Kate used CHANEL POUDRE CRISTALLINE Utlra-Fine Translucent Powder to take away any shine from the forehead, nose and chin.

Makeup Artist Jeanine Lobell was responsible for Penelope Cruz’s soft, smoked out eyes.

“Penelope is just such a classic beauty and so sexy. I just wanted to play up her eyes as the focus, working with the nude of the dress. It was important to work in neutral tones playing off the gown and using darkness rather than colour for intensity.”

Get The Look…

Penelope’s look on the red carpet was soft and sultry, with a defined, smoky eye. Jeanine used a tinted moisturizer for her foundation, and set it with CHANEL POUDRE CRISTALLINE Ultra-Fine Translucent Powder for a bright soft finish.

On her eyes, she went for a classic smoky look, using the CHANEL SILKY EYESHADOW DUO in BRUN-EXPRESS. She used the matte brown and smoked out the lid, blended into the crease, and then created a smoky line under the eye. Jeanine rimmed the lash line and in the inner lid with CHANEL INTENSE EYE PENCIL in NOIR. Adding the black on the top lashes smudgy gave her a sexy blended eye. She then used CHANEL INIMITABLE MASCARA in NOIR-BLACK on the lashes on top.

For a soft, romantic look, Jeanine used CHANEL POWDER BLUSH in ROSE PETALE on the cheeks.

Penelope’s lips were her own nude lip liner with a clear gloss, to keep the focus on the eyes.
