Halle Berry arrives at the 85th Annual Academy Awards on February 24th, 2013.
Makeup Breakdown
My inspiration for Halle Berry’s look came fromher structured black gown with silver beaded vertical stripes. I wanted to keep the makeup look tonal and casual with this dress. I focused on punching up the eyes in a soft feminine way and played up her cheeks to balance this striking “Cadillac” of a dress. I wanted her face to stand out but not compete with the dress. Halle presented the James Bond tribute and so that was the theme of her look! — Makeup Artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua

Halle Berry arrives at the 2011 Oscars on Sunday, February 27th. Celebrity makeup artist Kara Yoshimoto Bua said, “Halle’s makeup look was inspired by the lightness and shimmmer of her Marchesa nude crystal and tulle strapless gown.”
“We played up her eyes with warm browns instead of blacks, keeping them shimmery and soft edged while defining them by smoking them up and lining the inner eye. I used Revlon Luxurious Smoky Eye Pencil in Brown Smoky, and Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara in Black. To balance out the smoky eye but to still keep her look healthy and fresh, I used peaches that are soft enough yet with enough color. I applied CHANEL Powder Blush in Horizon on her cheeks, a warm glowing peach. I lined her lips with CHANEL Precision Lip Definer in Peche, a peach tone that has just enough brightness and definition, and applied CHANEL Glossimer in Petit Peche. Her base was a mixture of CHANEL Mat Lumiere Matte Fluid Makeup shades – Honey, Walnut and Chestnut. “
