69th Annual Golden Globe Awards: Piper Perabo

A look at Piper Perabo as she walked the red carpet at the 69th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, California on January 15th, 2012.

Her makeup was by Troy Surratt for NARS Cosmetics. On inspiration, Troy says, “The look is very ethereal. It’s dewy and glowing with a gorgeous sparkly pink lip, which was the perfect look to complement her bold dress. For me, it was a classic approach with a subtle balance of attention paid to all points of the face.”

Makeup Breakdown

We started with Cle de Peau La Crème to prep her skin as it’s something she uses on the show and day to day. Her foundation was NARS Sheer Glow Foundation with Cle de Peau Concealer to cover any imperfections.

On her eyes, we dusted the shimmery icy pink side of Douce France Trio Eyeshadow. We created a thin, barely-there line of black along her entire lashline using the Nuits Blanches Eyeliner Stylo. To get the precision, we placed the Push Eyeliner Brush to the ink of the stylo, and applied a thin line from the inner corner to the outer corner, growing slightly thicker at the outer corner, but not extending past the corner. We used Larger Than Life Lengthening Mascara on her lashes for definition. Brows were filled in with Jodhpur Eyebrow Pencil to make them appear more dense. To set the pencil, I applied Shiseido Translucent Brow Shaper.

On the apples of her cheeks, using a Yachiyo Kabuki Artisan Brush, we created warmth with Gilda Blush. It was the perfect blush shade at the intersection of peach meets pink without any shimmer.

We created a pinky-beige lip by first lightly defining with Rosebud Lipliner Pencil, filling in with with Frivolous Velvet Gloss Lip Pencil, and applying Baby Doll Lip Lacquer just to the center of the lips. This creates a light-reflecting affect for a fuller pout on the red carpet.

Makeup How-to by Celebrity Makeup Artist Troy Surratt

The inspiration for the look was a modern take on classic hollywood; long lashes and luscious red lips. I created a smooth canvas on her skin with COVERGIRL Simply Ageless Foundation and warmed her up with some bronzer and light pink powder blush. On her eyes I used the lighter color of COVERGIRL Smoky ShadowBlast in Bronze Fire on the lid and set it with a powder eyeshadow. I finished the eyes by creating long lashes with COVERGIRL LashBlast Length. To create her luscious red lips I first applied COVERGIRL Outlast Lipstain in Scarlet Pucker so the color would last all night and topped it with COVERGIRL Lip Perfection in Hot for extra glamour.

Temptalia is a positive place, and while these are celebrities, let us treat them with respect. There is nothing wrong with constructive criticism, which is criticism that provides insight and aids one in improving in the future and not merely criticism to make someone feel less about themselves.
