Celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow created Carly Rae Jepsen’s feminine, flirty look for the 2012 American Music Awards.“We wanted to create a look that would mimic the softness and femininity of Carly’s dress, while still remaining sexy,” said Turnbow. “The colors on her dress were baby pink, teal, and gold – very feminine, but it was also very form-fitting with an open back that gave it a little edge. Read on to find out which products were used and how to get the look at home!
To prep Carly’s skin, I used the Votre Vu Attentive Serum Delicat Pour Le Visage ($44.80) first and then the Attentive Crème du Jour ($27.30) over to provide a moisturized base for the foundation.
We wanted the focus to be on her eyes, reflecting the soft/sexy contrast of her dress. First, I applied the Votre Vu Lingerie Pour Le Yeux ($20.30) to create an even, nude base for the eyeshadow to stick to. Then, I swiped a shimmery gold eyeshadow by Stila all over the lid to match the dress.
To create the soft, yet defined look for her eyes, I lined them with the Votre Vu Le Joli Crayon ($16.10) in Charbon, smudged it up and out at the edges with the sponge tip to create a slight smoky cat-eye effect, and then applied a black liquid liner on top for more definition. Lastly, I applied two coats of the Votre Vu Eiffel Power Mascara ($16.80), concentrating more on the outer edges for a more feminine, flirty look.
On her cheeks, I applied the Votre Vu Vu-On Rouge Cheek and Lip Tint ($20.30) in Bouquet Rose, which gave a great natural, pink flush to her cheeks while not taking away the attention from her eyes. For her lips, I lined them with a pale pink lip liner to lighten up the color of the Vu-On Rouge in Bouquet Rose, which I lightly brushed over to give more dimension.
