Here are some tips from Kara on how to create this show-stopping look!

  • “We played up her eyes with warm browns instead of blacks.” Kara used Revlon Luxurious Color Satin Eyeshadow in Shimmering Sienna.
  • “I wanted to keep the eyes shimmery and soft-edged while defining them by smoking them up and lining the inner eye.” She used Revlon Luxurious Smoky Eye Pencil in Bronze Smoke and Revlon Custom Eyes Mascara in Black.
  • “To balance out the smoky eye but still keep her look healthy and fresh, I used peaches that are soft enough yet with enough color.” She applied CHANEL Powder Blush in Horizon, a warm peach shade, on Halle’s cheeks.
  • “I lined her lips with a peach tone that has just enough brightness and definition.” She used CHANEL Precision Lip Definer in Peche, then added CHANEL Glossimer in Petit Peche on top.
