Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr Brings Sexy To The Red Carpet…Make-up Style

Stepping out into a deconstructed-chic 1930’s vibe at the 2009 Metropolitan Museum’s Annual Costume Institute Gala, Miranda Kerr wanted her make-up to be sexy, trendy and evoke a modern twist.

“She wanted sultry, smokey and a sensational eyes” said Victoria’s Secret Make-up Artist Meredith Baraf.”

To get her look, Baraf used five simple tips anyone can do at home:

1. Prep: To begin, Baraf always preps the eye. Using products from the new VS Make-up PRO line
she applied VS PRO Lasting FX Eyeshadow Primer all over the lids and under the eye, helping to
create the base for a perfect, long-lasting, smooth eye.

2. Liner: Baraf used VS Make-up Eyeliner in Extreme Black. Applying it on both the upper and bottom
lash line. “The key to the smokey eye is to smudge, smudge, smudge, says Baraf.”

3. Eyeshadow: Baraf used VS Eyeshadow in Fierce and blended it in the crease of the eye as well as
VS Make-up in Champagne in the inner corners to make the eyes pop.
