Amal Clooney’s Venice Glamour Courtesy of Charlotte Tilbury

Amal Clooney joined George Clooney on the Venice Film Festival red carpet as he received the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, wearing a custom black Tom Ford gown by Haider Ackermann.

Celebrity hairstylist and makeup artist Dimitris Giannetos was behind Amal’s beauty look, using Charlotte Tilbury to create the luminous complexion, softly defined eyes and pink-nude lip that accompanied the gown.

Amal’s skin was prepped with Magic Cream before Dimitris perfected her complexion with AIRbrush Flawless Foundation and AIRbrush Flawless Blur Concealer. Hollywood Contour Wand added definition, while a combination of Unreal Blush Healthy Glow Stick in Pinky Glow and Peachy Glow gave her cheeks that warm flush.

Beauty Light Wand in Spotlight added luminosity, with AIRbrush Flawless Finish Powder and the new AIRbrush Flawless Blur Loose Powder used to complete the base before everything was set with AIRbrush Flawless Setting Spray.

For the eyes, Dimitris worked with the Super Nudes Easy Eye Palette and Exagger-Eyes Easy Eyeshadow Stick in Oyster Twilight, creating the soft brown, subtly shimmering finish we saw on the red carpet. Exagger-Eyes Volume Mascara completed the eye makeup.

The pink-nude lip came courtesy of Lip Cheat Contour Duo in Tan and Hot Lips 2 in Dancefloor Princess.

What I like most is that the makeup complements the change of pace we saw from Amal that evening. With her black Tom Ford gown already departing from the lighter colours she usually favours in Venice, there was no need to take the beauty look somewhere unexpected too.

The warm complexion, soft eye makeup and pink lip felt unmistakably Amal, and Dimitris Giannetos, who works with Amal often, knew exactly how much was needed to complete the look.
