Oscar Beauty: Heidi Klum’s Makeup Look

Ok, anyone else think that Heidi Klum looked beyong gorgeous last night? Not so impressed with the pink clutch, I would’ve gone with black, but overall the dress, the hair, the makeup–perfect!

Victoria’s Secret Beauty sent out press today on how to get Heidi’s look that is worth reposting (and maybe trying out yourself?)

Hair and make-up – Hairstylist Helena Faccenda and Victoria’s Secret make-up artist Linda Hay used Victoria’s Secret So Sexy hair products and Very Sexy Make-up to complete Heidi’s look.

Helena created a soft mod updo inspired by Faye Dunaway, circa 1968 Thomas Crown Affair. To get the this updo, Helena backcombed Heidi’s roots to give the hair a little lift. Hair was smoothed over with a soft tooth brush. To finish the look, hair was tied into a couture shaped ball at the crown of her head. “To complement Heidi’s amazing couture gown, I channeled Elegant Horst’s 60’s Vogue cover.”

As for the makeup, Heidi’s look, distinctly Mod, is initially inspired by her gown. Linda focused on the eyes, the absence of color and a neutral lip.

The skin was sun-kissed with a beige/bronzy look from head to toe using a mix of Bare Bronze Gleaming Self Tan Tint and Daily Glow Moisturizer to her whole body and a light sweep of Ooh La La Shimmer Powder to line her legs, arms, and shoulders.

For her face, Linda used tinted moisturizer to even out her complexion and a little concealer around the eyes and nose. A light dusting of translucent powder and Goddess Bronzer to shape and contour her face.?

For the eyes, Linda used Black Velvet Eye Pencil to draw a very thin line on the top lash line. Then using the 2 lighter Charcoal colors in the Satisfied Eye Very Sexy Mosaic palette, she lightly smudged the pencil and drew in the crease. Linda used the white shadow in the Mosaic palette to highlight right under the brow line and a dot at the inside corner of the eye. Underneath, she also added a thin sweep of the lightest silver to gently define the eye. Next, she applied individual lashes to the top and bottom lashes and about four or five applications of Very Voluptuous Black Mascara for supreme definition. To make the eye pop even more, she used Sparkling White Eye Pencil.

The lips were kept matte. Linda used Ginger Spice to line her lips and filled them with a combination of Whisper and Spontaneous to finish the look.

    This look was stunning. She killed at the oscars, man! Daring, and yet feminine.

  2. Debbie says:

    i love this dress. So stunning and bold. The color is beautiful.

  3. kami says:

    She looks great! I really like the neutral lips with the red dress—I always feel too made-up when I wear red lipstick.

  4. Pia says:

    I love her dress, but not her make up, though, imo. I saw the close up, and my first thought was, her make up artist should’ve blended that orange blush better.

  5. Trudi S. says:

    Heidi Klum always looks so stunning. I’m jealous!

  6. Trisha says:

    she is so dang pretty, the dress is stunning! the little soft collar just sets if off beautifully. I dont get the pink clutch tho….

  7. Ashley Samantha says:

    Heidi is so dang pretty, I’ve never seen her look bad @ all. She always nails the sun-kissed look IMO. I love her sense of humor, she joked that she had snacks in her uber-bun lol.
    I wonder if the tinted moisturizer they talked about is available now thru VS Beauty.

  8. Kristen says:

    She’s one of my major style and beauty icons. She looks so flawless here.
