Lucy Hale’s CMA Awards Makeup Look

Lucy Hale looked radiant on the red carpet for the 2013 CMA Awards; makeup artist Kelsey Deenihan describes her inspiration for the ‘Pretty Little Liars’ actress’s who is also the mark celebrity brand ambassador.

“Lucy wore a gorgeous pastel flowy Julien Macdonald dress so her makeup had to be glamorous and standout, but not overpower the sweetness of her overall look. We decided on a fresh look focusing on her eyes and drew shadow inspiration from the colours of her dress.”

“I began by prepping her skin with Nourish moisturizer by Lancer Skincare. This product soaks into the skin leaving it hydrated throughout the night, allowing the makeup to continually look even and fresh. For Lucy’s skin, I mixed Armani luminous silk foundation in 5 and 5.5 and applied it with a fluffy brush, working from the centre of her face outward. For any areas that needed extra coverage and to brighten under the eyes, I used Clé de Peau Beauté concealer in Ivory. Next I applied mark Just Blushing Powder Blush in Cameo to create a deep contour and topped off the cheeks with the pinks of the mark Wonder Glow Blush & Glow All Over Face Palette. I swept it high across Lucy’s cheekbones, allowing the subtle shimmer to illuminate her skin.”

Eyes:
“To make Lucy’s eyes pop, I used the mark 10 Year Anniversary Eye Shadow Palette in the left two colours (the M and A) all over her lid. I lined the top and bottom with both mark No Place to Run Longwear Eyeliner in Jet Set and Foxy Brown. For the inner corners of her eyes, I used the white shade (on the far right) of the mark 10 Year Anniversary Eye Shadow Palette. The brightness in the corners of her eyes allows the shadow to catch the light and reflect it and makes Lucy’s eyes appear larger. I finished her eyes with two generous coats of mark Scanda-Lash mascara in Blackest Black.”

Lips:
“To finish Lucy’s look, I applied mark Make It Rich Lip Crayon in Naturally. This sweet peachy-pink allows the focus to be on her eyes, but also complements her dress and her overall look.”
