Yes, I’m going to see the Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows — Part 2. All I need first is the time to have a refresher marathon via Rogers On Demand. In other news, though: Emma Watson’s makeup at the NYC premiere.
Emma’s Bottega Veneta dress sparked conflicting reviews (see it here on JustJared.buzznet.com); I loved it. I also love how it inspired her mixed-media makeup, a combination of matte, shimmer and metallic, including gold-leaf, against natural-finish skin. Take note: this Fall you’ll be seeing more makeup palettes that combine textures — matte, shimmer, iridescent and metallic in the same compact. Gold leaf you’ll have to add yourself. For this look, here’s your list:
Complexion: primer, sheer foundation, a touch of concealer and the barest amount of powder. You want a looks-natural glow. Note the bronzey-blush placement, sculpting the face under cheekbones to hairline — a more sophisticated application than the youthful apple-of-cheeks approach.
Brows: Try the waterproof Smashbox Brow Tech to Go pencils.
Lips: Try a light lipstick barely a shade deeper than your natural lip colour.
Lids: primer such as Urban Decay, Cover FX EyePrep FX, or Benefit Stay Don’t Stray (which you could win).
Liner: think Gosh Extreme Art Liner, Make Up For Ever, Bobbi Brown, MAC Fluidline, and Smashbox Jet Set.
Matte black shadow: For the crease and inner corner above the tearduct, try Inglot, NYX, or maybe you already know from MAC Carbon Eye Shadow.
Metallic gold: For the tearduct, try Make Up For Ever Aqua Eyes Cream in Gold, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Gold — or Lise Watier Mineral Loose Powder Eye Shadow in Folie Soleil + Metamorfix Liquid Transformer. Maybelline New York Eye Studio Color Plush Silk Eye Shadow in Give Me Gold, applied wet, will work, too.
A little gold leaf — get that from a craft store like Michaels and apply it with a small brush and eyelash glue — plus blackest-black mascara (win one here), and you’re ready for your close up.
Is this look something you’d try for a dramatic evening? Gold leaf or no gold leaf? Killer brows, right?
Made in Canada? Lise Watier, Cover FX, MAC Carbon eye shadow…

Um. Did someone tell her not to smile? It makes me a bit sad that her co-stars are smiley and fun on the red carpet and she has that smirk in most of the photos. A leftover Burberry campaign smirk, perhaps. She’s so pretty! More smiles please Emma.
Hmmm. Does she usually smile on the red carpet? Or maybe she was afraid the gold leaf might flake off… *grin*
I love it !! Makeup is supposed to be fun right ?!? I think we’re going to see plenty of fun looks from Miss Emma. And ya … those brows are FIERCE for sure.
I love it as well! This is a killer look for sure. It’s one of the more unique red carpet looks. I like when celebrities are brave and wear something different when it comes to makeup.
And when they hire the right artist! Haven’t figured out who this one was, though — anyone know?
I love it! Hermione seams to be going for an Edie Sedgwick kind of a thing lately. It makes her stand out in the crowd of young starlets that all look the same.
Absolutely agree re: standing out in the starlet crowd.
If I had no wrinkles I would wear that!
A look for young skin only :-(
I’d like to disagree, Rita, but… can’t :-(
it’s lovely! i love it when they experiment something different for makeup!
And when it works, like this did!
Huh. That IS an interesting dress. Not many people could pull it off lol. I love Emma, she’s got such a great sense of style, she’s not afraid to experiment and she always looks classy.
Kind of a risk, right? Not a big one, but just enough to make things interesting!
