Katey Denno

To recreate the above look I did on Annaliese, for yourself, you’ll need: Two brown shadows (i chose Transcend from Kjaer Weis as my base shade, and Wisdom, also from Kjaer Weis, as my deeper shade – and when layered, the two created the deepest part around the crease and lash lines) A creamy highlighter for the inner corners (I like Ilia Beauty ‘Cosmic Dancer‘) Begin by outlining the shape you’ll want with the lightest of your two brown shades. You can always use cotton swabs to wipe away what doesn’t look good), you can begin pressing your deeper brown shadow in a sideways V form, starting along the outer corner of the eye, and along the crease (if your eye has a crease, of course). Finish the look by adding your highlights: Using the creamy, shimmery brown shadow crayon, drag it along the top of the lash line, just behind the lashes, staying close to the lash line.

For The LOVE of Green Beauty, Part 2, begins tomorrow! regardless of whether the temps where you live have you showing off some skin, or covering every inch in fuzzy, wooly warmth, it’s always good practice to treat the skin on your body with the same TLC that you show to the skin on your face. The next 6 days of giveaways can help. It’s time to GET GLOWING! !

‘I want my makeup to feel light, look glowy and sheer, and basically, just make me look like the best version of myself’. Makeup really is transformative, and it doesn’t need to be heavy anywhere on your face, contrary to the heavy eye and brow makeup and pancake face with highlights and lowlights and contour and strobe trend that just won’t seem to go away. I use a fluffy eyeshadow brush to gently buff the cream into skin – the smallest amount around her nose, on her forehead, and around her eyes, patting it in with a damp beauty blender. Eyes: I lined her eyes gently with cream shadow sticks from Ilia Beauty, in a gold/brown called ‘Age of Consent’, and a bit more heavily with ‘You Spin Me Round’ – a dark gray/black shade.

Last night, however, she said to me: ‘I really want to look super natural for the [Jimmy Kimmel] show tonight, and most importantly, I want my skin to glow.’ Glowing skin is my forte (sometimes I think I should carry powder in my kit), so I was stoked for this request. Focusing again on the highlights, I used my fingers to press a bit of Vapour Organic Beauty’s new glowy stick along her cheekbones, the bridge of her nose, and even though for some of you, it may have looked a bit over-the-top luminescent, along her temples and into her forehead (I like a glow there, but I know some of you who don’t). Historically, television makeup has been matte, and is generally super powder-heavy, which makes sense because depending on the lighting and the type of camera used, shiny-ness can be distracting and come across as looking oily. It’s up to us makeup artists to determine just how much glow is appropriate, and hope that what looks good in dressing room lighting looks just as good on stage!
