70th Annual Golden Globes: Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt arrives at at the 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards on January 13th, 2013.

Makeup

In a gilded dress by Michael Kors, Emily Blunt more than lived up to her reputation as a Hollywood golden girl. The actress, nominated in the Best actress, Musical or Comedy category for Salmon Fishing In The Yemen, “definitely had something in mind as far as the look,” says makeup artist Jenn Streicher. “Emily wanted smoky eyes paired with soft pink lips that echoed her Lorraine Schwartz ruby earrings.”

Skin: Jenn began by using Kate Somerville Quench Hydrating Face Serum, La Mer The Moisturizing Soft Cream and La Mer Eye Concentrate. She then primed the skin with Hourglass No. 28 Primer Serum, and followed with Hourglass Illusion Tinted Moisturizer in Ivory. She used two shades of Hourglass Hidden Corrective Concealer: Fair, a light shade, was used around the nose and as a highlighter, and Sand, a slightly darker shade, was applied under the eyes. Jenn completed the skin by applying the new Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder in Radiant Light all over the complexion. Available in six different lighting settings, Ambient delivers a multi-dimensional luminescence to the complexion by capturing, diffusing and softening surrounding light. “It softens and enhances everything,” says Jenn.

Cheeks: Jenn applied Hourglass Superficial Waterproof Bronzer all over the face and neck to create a radiant glow. She then used the bronzer shade from Hourglass Illume Crème-to-Powder Bronzer Duo in Sunset to contour the cheeks and jaw line. The blush shade from Illume was applied onto the cheekbones.

Eyes: She started by lining eyes with Hourglass Film Noir Kohl Eye Pencil in Espresso and softened the line with a brush. Jenn then applied the shell shimmer shade from Hourglass Visionaire Eye Shadow Duo in Gypsy as a highlight on the brow bone and followed with a matte brown eye shadow on the lid. Hourglass Film Noir Full Spectrum Mascara was applied to the lashes to volumize, lengthen and separate them. She then amplified the brows with Hourglass Arch Sculpting Brow Pencil in Soft Brunette.

Lips: Lips were infused with a beautiful wash of color courtesy of Hourglass Femme Rouge Velvet Crème Lipstick in Edition, a soft pink shimmer.

2010 Emmy Awards: Emily Blunt

Emily Blunt wears a very subtle smoky eye–lots of light silver-gray on the lid, maybe even a gray-blue shadow close to the lash line.  The cheeks look almost peachy, while the lips are barely-there pink-peach (not even sure she’s really wearing a lipstick).

Emily Blunt @ 2010 Golden Globes

67th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Emily Blunt

Her face is totally not matching her body, which is really throwing me off.  I liked the tousled hair look, I suppose…

Makeup & Beauty How-to

Jenn Streicher, makeup artist using Dior Beauty, says her inspiration was:  “Emily wore a beautiful sleeveless pink frilly dress, so we wanted the makeup to be beautiful, soft and feminine.”

Eyes: Dior 5-Coulour Eyeshadow in Stylish Move #970, DiorShow Brow in Shiny Brown, DiorShow Blackout Mascara

Lips: Dior Creme de Rose, Dior Addict Lip Polish #001, Dior Glossy Liner in Glossy Pink

Cheeks: Dior Dentelle Illuminating Lace Effect Powder

Skin: Dior Hydraction Deep Hydration Radical Serum, Dior Skinflash Primer, Dior AirFlash Spray Foundation #200, Dior Skinflash Radiance Booster Pen #001

Body: Dior Bronze Self-Tanner Natural Glow Body

Hair How-to

Laini Reeves cut her hair to shoulder length just for the Golden Globes and then created a curl that was blunt and chic, but still a little fun.

First, Laini applied the NO FRIZZ, WAVE SHAPING CREAM FOR MEDIUM TO THICK HAIR ($24) to Emily’s wet hair to prevent the hair from frizzing. She then added a bit of the new LIVING PROOF FULL ($24) to add a bit of body to the wave. She started creating the pin curls by taking half inch pieces of hair and wrapping each piece around her fingers and then pinning them to the top of the head. Reeves recommends alternating the twisting monition both clockwise and counter clockwise to add dimension. She then let the hair dry naturally. After the hair was completely dry she used both a medium curling iron, and small barrel curling iron to accentuate the curl. To add a bit of sophistication to the look, she used a flat iron on each curl, straightening the bottom inch of the hair.
