Makeup Inspiration – Hollywood Glam Look

A little while ago, I did my beautiful friend Chayenne’s (Caty's) makeup, and we went all in with a classic Hollywood glam look. Soft eyeshadow, defined eyeliner, glowing skin and bold red lips – a timeless combination that always makes you feel extra glamorous.

Here’s a step-by-step breakdown of how I created the look – perfect if you want to recreate this style yourself!

Step 1: A radiant base

I started by prepping the skin with toner + moisturizer to deeply hydrate, followed by a glowing primer for a luminous base that helps makeup glide on smoothly and last longer.

* Skin prep: Laneige Cream Skin Cerapeptide Toner & Moisturizer and Milk Makeup Cloud Glow Primer.

* Foundation: I used Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place foundation for a flawless, long-wearing base with great coverage.

* Concealer: To brighten under the eyes and the center of the face, I used Natasha Denona Hy-Glam Concealer.

* Powder: I lightly set the T-zone with Huda Beauty Easy Bake Setting Powder in the shade Cherry Blossom Cake – it’s amazing for smoothing and brightening.

Step 2: Brows & eyes

Caty already has naturally beautiful brows, so I just brushed them up and filled in a few sparse areas.

* Brows: Inglot Soap Brow and Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Dark Brown.

* Eyeshadow: For the eyes, I used the Patrick Ta Major Dimension III Matte Eyeshadow Palette – a matte beige across the lid, a warm brown in the crease, and a pop of champagne shimmer in the center.

* Eyeliner: I used the black cream shadow from the Patrick Ta palette to create the wing, and then set it with the matte black shade for extra depth and staying power.

* Mascara & lashes: I applied several coats of mascara and finished with the bestselling No Lash-Lash cluster lashes from Sweed Beauty for a soft but lifted effect.

Step 3: Bronzer, blush & glow

This step was all about enhancing her features while keeping the skin fresh and glowy.

* Bronzer: I used Too Faced Chocolate Soleil Natural Bronzer to softly sculpt the cheekbones and temples.

* Blush: For blush, I applied the Sweed Beauty Air Blush Cream for a rosy, natural-looking flush.

* Highlighter: I added some glow to the high points of the face using the L’Oréal Paris Lumi Le Glass Highlighter Stick in the shade Glassy Pearl.

Step 4: Red lips – the star of the look

We went for a bold, classic red with cool undertones that looked stunning on Chayenne!

* Lip liner: I used a matching liner to define her lips for a clean and sharp result.

* Lipstick: For the final touch, I applied Dior Rouge Dior Couture Lipstick in the shade 854 Rouge Shanghai – rich, creamy and super pigmented.

Finishing touches

Caty styled her hair into two playful space buns and wore red heart-shaped earrings – a fun, personal twist that tied the whole look together!
