Saoirse Ronan pulls off elegant, simple beauty again and again on the red carpet, and Sunday night was no exception.
The Irish actress opted for a custom crystal Gucci gown, and opted for makeup that complimented the glittering dress.
The 24-year-old wore a subtly glittery eye and a coral lip.
Her makeup artist, Kara Yoshimoto Bua, took to Instagram to break down the look and explain the inspiration behind it.
“Inspired by the simplicity of the Gucci gown with its sheer beaded veil of crystalline silvery stones, and all the skin, I started by featuring her complexion by moisturizing and blending out the foundation creating a satin-like porcelain finish,” she explained.
“I glammed up Saoirse’s look by dressing up her eyes with silver shimmery smoke and with bright fire red lips as an accessory to compliment her blue eyes and all the silvery tones.”
Speaking of the specific makeup products, Kara went for all Chanel products and explained the application process.
“Skin Prep: Chanel Sublimage La Creme Yeux and Rose water, spray in hands with a small dollop of cream and blend in hands then blend onto face from around eyes outwards doing a gentle lymph massage to open and refresh the face.
Face: Chanel Ultra Tenue BD01 Foundation, all over the face and blended under the jawline and neck.
Chanel Natural Finish Pressed Powder in Clair, to set the foundation.
Chanel Les Beiges No 40, for a “barely there” touch of definition to lightly contour.
Lips: Chanel Boy de Chanel Lip Balm for matte moisture.
Precision Lip Definer in Natural, for soft edged lip.
Chanel Rouge Allure Liquid Powder in 954 – RADICAL as a fresh matte lip applied from the inside out towards the edge of the lip.
Eyes: Chanel Long Lasting Eyeliner in Mat Taupe , lining along the entire upper lash line, slightly extending out the almond shape of her eyes and blending the edges. Chanel Multi-Effect Quadra Eyeshadow in 308 CLAIR-OBSCUR contouring with Illumine Highlight in the crease in towards the bridge of the nose.
Chanel Inimitable Intense Mascara in 20, for more of a tinted deep brown (not heavy) lash look on top lashes.
Finishing with Clair Light ( a shimmery copper shadow) on top and bottom lash lines to set the liner and softly bring out her almond eyes, extending out and up slightly past the lash line. To give her eyes a sparkle used my ring finger to apply a silvery highlight with Chanel Illusion d’Ombre in Fantasme.
Brows: Defining Long wear eyebrow pencil 806 blonde tendre, I used a lighter tone to create more definition for her naturally full brows.”
Saoirse has worked with Kara before for other events including the Mary Queen of Scots premiere.
The beauty expert to the stars has also painted the faces of Jessica Biel, Isla Fisher, Jennifer Garner and Lisa Bonet among many others.
