Jessica Alba
Styled by Davy Newkirk.
Get The Look:
- I started with her hair wet. She is a fan of natural products so we love the Matrix Biolage line because it is paraben-free. I applied a generous amount of Matrix Biolage Whipped Mousse on her hair.
- I blew it out with a round brush until dry.
- After that, I used a flat iron at the bottom of the hair. I turned tucked in some of the pieces under her hair, and flipped some of them out to give the look a lot of movement.
- I took some of the Matrix StyleLink Shape Switcher and mixed it with a few drops of Matrix StyleLink Volume Booster. I mixed them in my palms and put it evenly through Jessica’s hair to give the texture and the hold that we were looking for
- Then, I took the blow dryer to it and blew her hair around in all different directions to accomplish that windblown look and ruffle up the texture
- To finish off the look, we used Matrix Biolage Freeze Fix Hairspray all over her hair to set in the look! [pagebreak]

Lorde
Amber Dreadon, one of the fashion and music industry’s most sought-after makeup artists, partnered with luxury beauty brands BABOR and Sisley to create a soft, glowing new beauty look for Grammy Award-winning artist LORDE at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Costume Institute Benefit.

"I believe that you can’t create a beautiful makeup application without first perfecting the skin, so I began LORDE’s Met Ball beauty ritual with BABOR SKINOVAGE PX Sensational Eyes Refreshing Active Pads. With a mixture of nutrients, minerals and hyaluronic acid, this professional product leaves the delicate eye area hydrated and refreshed. I followed with a product that I am totally in love with, BABOR CLEANSING CP Thermal Spray, which supplies 100% instant moisture as it tones and mineralizes the skin. Next, I used one of BABOR’s beauty ampoules - FLUIDS FP Stop Stress Fluid, which contains power-packed active ingredients that quickly and effectively smooth, calm and strengthen the skin,” Amber said. “I followed with SKINOVAGE PX PERFECT COMBINATION Daily Mattifying Cream which has a light consistency, provides vital moisture, visibly balances and leaves a matte appearance. Finally, I finished with SKINOVAGE PX Sensational Eyes Cooling Eye Gel. Cooling and oil-free, this gel has amazing stainless steel rollers that visibly refresh, relax and smooth the eye area creating a perfect base for eye makeup.”
Makeup
“We were inspired by the shades of the Calvin Klein gown she is wearing and the texture of the sequins - how they look in the light and dark and wanted to recreate that on the eye. Keeping that as the focus,” Amber said.
“Sisley Phyto-Teint Eclat oil free foundation was lightly buffed onto the skin to create a light weight flawless base. Sisley Transparent Face powder was used with a large powder brush to lightly set the foundation and to remove unwanted shine.Brows were defined using Sisley Brow pencil in Cappuccino and combed with the comb attached to the brow pencil. Sisley Phyto-Eye Twist in Bronze was applied to the lash line and blended outward. Sisley phyto 4 ombres in #1 dream & #2 mystery were used for a winged bronzed smokey eye with a hint of metallic blue along the lash line. Lips were gently touched with the Phyto lip twists in #1 and #2.”

Bella Hadid
Hailey Baldwin
Rob Scheppy for Tweezerman Brush iQ created a more natural look for both girls, yet still glamorous as to not overshadow the custom Topshop dresses.”
Get the Look:
For this event we wanted to keep the girls’ look super fresh, like they just got out of the shower. I started out prepping skin on both girls using WEI Kakadu Plum Whitening Sugar Mask followed with WEI Sirtuin Activator moisturizer. Both Bella and Hayley actually used the moisturizer all over the body along with a little bit of Charlotte Tilbury’s Supermodel Body Slimmer Shimmer. For makeup, I used Chanel’s Vitalumiere Satin Smoothing Crème Makeup and then dabbed on IT Cosmetics Bye Bye Under Eye Concealer to cover shadows. Instead of a traditional cheek color, I used several shades of Chanel Les Beiges to create warmth and depth to features. Using Tweezerman Brush iQ Mini Face Contour Brush Set, I blended Charlotte Tilbury’s Film Star duo on cheekbones, brow bone and chin which added some highlights and just a little bit of bronze-y shimmer. I set the look with IT Cosmetics Bye-Bye Pores Silk HD powder. The girls’ looks differed a little bit in the eyes and lips.
For Bella, I used Tweezerman Browmousse to set her brows. Next, I lightly shadowed her eyes using L’Oreal Color Riche La Palette in Nude 1. For lashes, I applied House of Lashes’ Iconic Strip and then Voluminuous Mascara. I used By Terry Baume de Rose lip gloss.
On Hayley, I filled in her brows using Anastasia Beverly Brow Powder Duo and a Tweezerman Brush iQ Brow Brush. Then, I applied House of Lashes’ Au Natural strip lashes and two coats of L’Oreal Voluminuous Mascara in black. We finished off Hayley’s look with Marc Jacobs Beauty Le Marc Lip Crème in So Sofia.
