  • Prep the skin by applying a small amount of Refineé Daily Defense Cream SPF 30* to the face to create a dewy canvas.
  • Apply eye cream under eyes and on the ocular bone.
  • Working from the center of the face and moving outward, blend a light- to medium-coverage foundation to the entire face.
  • Next, apply a light- to medium-coverage concealer over any areas needing extra coverage.
  • With a taupe contour shade, contour the hollows of the cheeks, temples, hairline and underneath the jawbone.
  • Spotlight cheekbones with a shimmery, golden-beige highlighting powder.
  • Make cheeks pop by applying blush in peachy bronze to the apples, sweeping upward.
  • Fill in brows and set in place with Grande Cosmetics GrandeBrow- Fill*.
  • Sweep the same peachy bronze blush used on cheeks over the entire lower eyelid.
  • Use a touch of neutral matte warm shadow on inner and outer creases of the eyes to create a halo effect.
  • Precisely line the upper eyelid.
  • Prep and thicken lashes with the Grande Cosmetics GrandePrimer*. Add length and volume by applying mascara to top lashes. Lightly coat bottom lashes with Jane Iredale Longest Lash*.
  • Add a pop of glossy lip color.
  • Finish the look by patting the t-zone with a colorless translucent powder.

Rami Malek Hair

Style recreated by Dayna Gamba, BaBylissPRO artist

  • Remove any excess bulk starting from the nape of the neck up to the parietal ridge.
  • Create a horseshoe section on top starting at the crown.
  • Use a #3 guard and adjust the blade to a closed position. Ride the BaBylissPRO GoldFX Clipper* up to the parietal ridge (where the head rounds) to remove bulk.
  • Switch to #2 guard with the clipper in the open position, and clip the perimeter of the neck using a “C” scooping technique.
  • Work around the hairline with a trimmer, making sure to create a soft outline and a clean appearance.
  • For the top section, cut hair with Olivia Garden SilkCutPRO, working in vertical sections and being sure to maintain the longer length in front.
  • Towel-dry hair.
  • Apply a soft curl cream like ECRU New York Curl Perfect Defining Styling Potion. Spread the cream evenly to separate curls.
  • Diffuse hair using a cup diffuser with the BaBylissPRo SteelFX. Keep the setting on low heat and diffuse until curls are 75-percent dry.

  • Prep hair while protecting it from heat with a few spritzes of Redken Iron Shape 11 from roots to ends.
  • Use a small pump of Redken Satinwear 04 on ends to lend polish and add protection.
  • Blow-dry with a round brush and ghd Air Hairdryer to smooth strands and increase lift at the roots.
  • Follow with the ghd Platinum+ Styler to clean up hair around the face and on the ends.
  •  Lightly spritz Redken Triple Dry 15 Dry Texture Finishing Spray from roots through mid-shafts for texture and slight hold.
  • Create stronger waves throughout by using ghd Curve Classic Curl Iron 1”.
  • Once cooled, pull hair into a high ponytail and tease to the desired shape. Pin as you go to create a messy knot.
  • Pull out pieces to frame the face, and tousle with your fingertips.
  • Finish with a strong-hold hairspray, like Redken Triple Take 32, to set the style.
