Makeup Artist Pat McGrath recreated the Scarlett Johansson look for the new D&G makeup ads for the
Dolce & Gabbana Fall/Winter 09 show.
McGrath called this look ‘modern Hollywood glamor’. Of course, she used Dolce & Gabbana makeup; powder foundation, a lipstick called Ultra (a great red), and a soft pink blush called Roses. From the Stromboli luxury line she used the light pink shimmery eye shadow, and the black gold eyeliner. She also used a black liquid liner and false lashes.
The above is my own version of this look that I did for a photo shoot…with bold red lips, light foundation, a pale pink blush, with a cream black liner, and I also filled in the model brow with a taupe brow filler.
There is a hidden gem located in “The Big Easy”. Celebrity Makeup Artist Brandy Gomez-Duplessis. Brandy may not be a native New Orleanian, but this tough skinned east coaster has always loved makeup. She flirted with makeup, hair, and fashion as a young girl and this was something that kept her occupied being an only child. Because her parents are from Honduras she felt that they didn’t understand her hunger for beauty and fashion She watched old classic Hollywood movies and read fashion magazines (with Vogue being her favorite) and what she loved was seeing women looking beautiful, polished, perfectly combed hair, lots of lashes with red lip stick, and lots of gorgeous gaudy jewelry. Many days Brandy would go to the thrift stores and then walk to Mood Designer Fabrics go home, lock herself in her room to redesign the items she purchase. She would take all of her ideas and sketch figures and faces. Her favorite looks made it to her walls. Her walls were covered in collages of drawings, tear sheets, and articles not knowing that she was creating a personal look book.
