NARS Cosmetics worked with celebrity makeup artists to create the looks for several guests at the Metropolitan Museum’s Costume Institute Gala, including Clare Danes, Chloe Sevigny, Alexa Chung, Eva Mendes and Mary Kate & Ashley Olsen!

MAKEUP ARTIST: Matin M.

THE LOOK: The dress was like a shimmery liquid sand and Exotic Dance Duo Eyeshadow resembled that. I couldn’t resist using it. For elongating the eyes and defining them, the Via Appia Larger Than Life Eyeliner was perfect in keeping the lids gold and glossy without being too heavy,” said Matin.

Gisele At 2011 Met Gala

Marta Walsh has the sneak peek to behind the scenes as makeup artist Rose-Marie Swift created Gisele’s red carpet makeup look for tonight’s MET Costume Institute Gala.

“We wanted Gisele to look naturally sophisticated, making the look more modern and not falling into a retro direction. It made the whole look beautiful and fashion forward with out being heavily made up. A perfect Gisele look.” – Rose-Marie Swift

Madonna at the 2011 Met Gala

Hourglass Artistic Director Gina Brooke did Madonna’s makeup for this evening’s “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty” Costume Institute Gala at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. “The Met Ball is one of fashion’s biggest nights out, and I wanted Madonna’s look to be elegant, timeless and absolutely luminous – inspired by 1930s glamour. The focus is flawless skin and ravishing eyes—Madonna’s gorgeous eyes and lashes are among her best attributes—which always resonate on the red carpet,” says Gina Brooke.

How to get Madonna’s makeup look:

Skin:

Prep skin first with Intraceuticals Rejuvenate Daily Serum to increase vital moisture and visibly revive the complexion. Follow with Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer, a must-have product for any event because it ensures that makeup lasts all night. It also neutralizes the skin, reduces the appearance of fine lines and pores and enables an artist to paint the perfect canvas.

Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner

Marta Walsh is impressed with the NEW Aqua Liner by MAKE UP FOR EVER. Perfect for hot summer days when you need your eyeliner outstand humidity and if you’re into a precise liquid eyeliner application.

According to Make Up For Ever: ” Aqua Liner is formulated with acrylic copolymer…that forms a flexible film to lock water out. It contains 50% more polymers than traditional eyeliner formulations to ensure a long-lasting, waterproof result, as well as essential amino acids derived from apple juice for high-color intensity and bold pay-off.” $23.
