Carey Mulligan

Kiehl’s Since 1851 was exceedingly proud to have a hand (a face?) in Carey Mulligan’s striking look by makeup artist Georgie Eisdell the other evening.

“Carey's look for the Met Ball was all about enhancing her natural beauty. I wanted her skin to glow but then I wanted a little drama on her lips.”

“I first prepared Carey's skin with Kiehl’s Hydro-Plumping Re-Texturizing Serum Concentrate, and then moisturized with Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Cream Intense Hydration and Kiehl’s Creamy Eye Treatment With Avocado for her eyes. Then I finished with Kiehl's Micro-Blur Skin Perfector, I love this product so much. It's the perfect base for makeup.”

“I then evened out her skin with Kiehl's Skin Tone Correcting & Beautifying BB Cream in Fair/ Light.”

“Then, I used Tom Ford's Illuminating Highlight Pen to brighten underneath the eye, and then used Tom Ford's Cheek Color in Frantic Pink on the apples of the cheek for a natural flush to the cheek and then a touch of Hourglass's Ambient Lighting Palette over the top for extra illumination.”

“I powdered really lightly, just on the high points of her face, with La Mer's The Powder.”

“I enhanced Carey's already perfect brows with Tom Ford’s Brow Sculptor in Taupe.”

“On Carey's eyes, I left the lids bare of eye shadow. I just put a wash of translucent powder to even out the area, and then used Tom Ford Eye Color Quad in Cocoa Mirage in the crease of her eye, ever so lightly, to create a natural contour to the eye.”

“I finished the eye with YSL Volume Effet Faux Cils Mascara in Black and then a few Ardell single lashes to create a fullness to her natural lashes, keeping them looking defined and spidery.”

“I finished off her look with Tom Ford's Matte Lip in Velvet Cherry, my favorite lip color at the moment.”
