I always love the way Vanessa looks at awards – so pretty!

Makeup How-to:

Karan Mitchell: Vanessa’s makeup for the MTV Movie Awards was inspired by the gorgeous sequined bodice on her Jenny Packham dress and the festive feel of summer in the air. We wanted the look to be bronzy and fresh but with a sexy twist.

I started with Vanessa’s eyes. I first used the lightest beige from #160 Garden Party Neutrogena Nourishing Eye Quad all over the eye up to the brow as a base. I then used the dark green shade on the outside corners of her lids and in the crease. For inside the corners of the eye and the highlight under the brow bone I used the pink shade in the Moonlight Violet Quad.

On the cheeks I used the soothing eye tint in Petal Shimmer as a highlight on the cheekbone. I then lightly brushed the bronze shade of the Neutrogena Healthy Skin Custom Glow Blush and Bronzer Duo in Berry Glow along the hairline and under the cheekbones for a sun kissed contour. I then lined her top eyelid as well as the inside of the lower lids were line with Nourishing Eyeliner #10 in Cosmic Black. I applied a strip of false eyelashes and then added two coats of Neutrogena Healthy Lengths Mascara in #06 Carbon Black.

For her skin we used Neutrogena SkinClearing Liquid Makeup in Tan #120. The concealer under the eye was Neutrogena Healthy Skin Brightening Perfector in #15 Medium. I lightly dusted the Mineral Sheers powder foundation #80 in tan to set the base.

For the lips we wanted a soft flush of color. I began with Neutrogena Lip Boost intense moisture therapy lip conditioner. The look was finished with a mixture of Super Sparkle #100 and Refreshing Rose Neutrogena MoistureShine gloss.

At the MTV Movie Awards, Vanessa Hudgens looked head-to-toe gorgeous, and her look was extremely subtle–very natural–very your-skin-but-better kind of a look. Here’s how I would recreate it… Continue reading →
