Jodie Foster’s Golden Globes Glam by Brett Freedman

Celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman worked his magic on Jodie Foster for the 2025 Golden Globes, marking the third time he’s created her red carpet look. This year, she was nominated for True Detective and had a special date—her son, Kit—so Brett even gave him a little grooming touch-up.

Here’s the inside scoop on Jodie’s radiant red carpet glam:

PREP & HYDRATION

To create the perfect base, Jodie started her morning with Timescape Micromazing Polish, a gentle microdermabrasion treatment that smooths the skin. She then mixed Flat Out Firm Serum with Three Milk Moisturizer for a dewy, hydrated glow.

EYES

Smiling all night calls for serious eye hydration. Brett used Firmtastic Eyes, a sheer, serum-like eye hydrator, even dabbing a little after makeup for extra moisture—without the shine. On the lids, he opted for the Dior Backstage Palette in Universal for a subtle, polished look.

NECK

With Jodie’s encrusted collar putting her neck in the spotlight, Necks Level Smooth provided instant firming and hydration.

COMPLEXION

For lightweight, natural-looking coverage, Brett used Jones Road What the Foundation in Beige to even out her skin tone without a heavy finish.

BODY GLOW

Jodie’s sleeveless dress meant her arms needed to shine—literally. She prepped with Shea Butter Scrub in the morning, followed by Dew Ritual Body Oil pre-glam and a second dose of Sunshine Silk Body Oil post-dressing for a warm, camera-ready sheen.

LASHES & BROWS

Brett swiped on C-Curl Continuous Curl Mascara, adding Ardell cluster lashes to the outer corners for a soft, fluttery effect. Her brows were perfected with Brett Brow Laser Pencil in cool taupe, then set with Brett Brow Arch-Control Gel for extra definition.

BLUSH & HIGHLIGHT

A matte flush came from Makeup by Mario’s Soft Pop Cream Blush Stick in Pale Petal, while FHF’s Golden Moon Dip added precise highlights to the apples of her cheeks, brow bone, nose, and chin—Brett’s secret to glowing without looking sweaty under camera lights.

LIPS

Jodie’s lips were prepped with Blissedberry Juicy Lip Therapy Balm, then lined entirely with Chanel’s Beige Naturel Lip Liner. For a unique twist, Brett topped it with FHF’s Vitamin Glaze Lip Gloss in Violet Orchid, creating a custom cool-toned nude with dimension.

With a luminous, polished finish, Jodie was red carpet perfection—effortless, elegant, and camera-ready from every angle.
