True Grit actress Hailee Steinfeld looked gorgeous at the premiere of Miu Miu’s short film, Muta, in Beverly Hills on Tuesday. We loved her blush-colored Miu Miu dress and matching heels, but we also loved her beauty look, which was created for her by makeup artist Fiona Stiles. If you loved Hailee’s beauty look, read on for all the need-to-know details on how to recreate this look at home.
On the skin, Fiona used a mix of Jouer Luminizing Moisture Tint in Pearl ($38) and Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation in #023 ($62). Then, she applied NARS Multiple Bronzer in Tuomota (sold out) to the apples for an understated glow.
On the eyes, Fiona used a blend of two different eye shadows: CoverGirl Intense Shadow Blast in Brown Bling ($7.99) and Chanel Ombre D’eau in Source ($32). Fiona then highlighted each eye by creating a subtle cat-eye using Bobbi Brown Long-Wear Gel Eyeliner in Black Ink ($21) at the top and bottom corners, followed by NARS Duo Eyeshadow in Caravaggio ($33) to soften the line. To soften Hailee’s strong brows, Fiona applied Anastasia Brow Gel ($21) using Eco Tools Lash & Brow Groomer ($3.99).
Finally, Fiona applied a dash of Ellis Faas Creamy Lips in #L108 ($35) to the lips.
