Kendall Jenner's Makeup Artist Uses This $9 Eyeliner for Realistic Faux Freckles
Though it's only in its third year, the annual Academy Museum Gala has proved to be an event with major star power. Case in point? Last night's attendees. The gala, which is held to raise money for the Academy Museum's exhibitions, education initiatives, and public programming, featured longtime A-listers like Meryl Streep, Leonardo DiCaprio, and more.
Since the gala's creative vision is helmed by Vogue's Lisa Love, it's no surprise that fashion also plays a big part in the night. Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner made a splash on the red carpet together. Jenner wore a tight, sheer red gown by Fendi, while Bieber wore a sequined, holiday-ready black gown by Saint Laurent.
Jenner's complemented the showstopping dress with loose, brushed-out curls and polished, monochromatic makeup. The result was totally timeless, and the good news is that every single product her makeup artist Mary Phillips used can easily be found at any drugstore. In fact, the most expensive product on Jenner's face is $16, and nearly every single product used is currently on sale at Amazon. That's because Phillips used exclusively L'Oréal Paris products, and we have the full breakdown below.
Keep reading for every makeup product used on Jenner, including the gel eyeliner Phillips repurposed for the most realistic-looking faux freckles.
"I started underpainting using the L'Oréal Paris Age Perfect 4-in-1 Tinted Face Balm on the perimeters of the face and down the jawline." — Phillips
"I then highlighted under the eyes and the center of the face using the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Full Wear Concealer." — Phillips
"On top of the contour and highlight, I buffed the L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation into the skin." — Phillips
"I then lightly set the skin with the L'Oréal Paris 24H Fresh Wear Foundation in a Powder in Vanilla." — Phillips
"[I] sculpted by using the L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Bronzer on the perimeters of the face and under the cheekbones." — Phillips
"For a pop of color I dusted the L'Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Soft Matte Blush to the apples of her cheeks." — Phillips
"I lightly added faux freckles on the nose and cheek area with the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Grip Mechanical Gel Liner." — Phillips
"For highlight, I dabbed the L'Oréal Paris True Match Lumi Glotion on the high points of her face and down the bridge of her nose." — Phillips
"I started off by using a neutral brown eye shadow from L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche La Palette Nude as a wash across the eye and on the lower lash line." — Phillips
"I then used the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Grip Precision Felt Waterproof Liner across the lash line and added a flick of a wing at the corner of the eyes to elongate them." — Phillips
"For instant length and intense color, I coated her lashes with the new L’Oréal Paris Panorama Mascara." — Phillips
"I defined her brows with the L'Oréal Paris Brow Stylist Definer Mechanical Waterproof Eyebrow Pencil." — Phillips
"[I] fluffed [Bieber's brows] up using the L'Oréal Paris Unbelieva-Brow Longwear Brow Topcoat in Universal Transparent." — Phillips
"For a natural pouty lip, I lined with L'Oréal Paris Colour Riche Lip Liner in Au Naturale." — Phillips
"[I] mixed L'Oréal Paris Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick in Breakfast in Bed and Major Crush." — Phillips
