Nyong’o’s “monochromatic” makeup incorporated “tones of red, burgundy, coppery-bronze and gold on eyes, lips and nails,” says Barose.
The end result had all the drama of an iconic ’80s makeup look, with one exception. “Because the [shades] are all within a similar [range of] red undertones, it’s not too colorful,” Barose explains.
“This is way easier to wear [than] ’80s looks [that] contrasted colors, like blue or green eyes with red or pink lips, which can be a lot of clashing color.”
“Lupita is always fun to work with because we like to get in the groove with the music, which helps [us] come up with the mood for the beauty looks too, says Barose, who notes that the music superstar’s pink eyeshadow in “I Wanna Dance with Somebody,” influenced Nyong’o’s look.
Here’s how the pro put it all together:
Once Barose had perfected Nyong’o’s statement arches, he applied theOmbre Hypnôse Stylo Shadow Stick in Rubis, a long-wear, metallic crayon, all over her eyelids, then blended that with theHypnôse Palette in Rose Fusion. “This shimmery eyeshadow palette can be used wet to create creamy texture. When laying cream and powder textures on top of each other, it adds more dimension and richness, plus it makes it more long-wearing.” He dabbedLe Monochromatique in Haute Coutureon the inner corners and center of the lids for more dimension.
For her lashes, the pro used two coats ofHypnôse Doll Lashes Mascara in Black, as well as a few individual falsies. “I always add three of my favoriteLashify Gossamer Lashes in C10on outer corners. It looks natural and feathery — not fake.”
The finishing touch?Tatcha Blotting Papers.“This helps with touch-up so you don’t have to over powder and can keep skin luminous.”
