Hillary Swank at the Academy Awards 2005
Make-up by Scott Andrew
Skin Care: Andrew used his favorite: Complex 15 Moisturizing Lotion.
Foundation: Very little foundation was needed on Swank's even completion. A bit of Cinema Secrets foundation, in a custom-blended shade, was used to minimize redness.
Powder: Andrew used Japanese Kose Cosme Decorte Powder, a very fine and translucent powder, around her nostrils and on her forehead. He says because the powder is so fine, he uses the lightest shade available on all skin tones.
Eye shadow: Christian Dior Five Color Eye shadow in Mauve Chic was used to create Swank's mauvey eyes. The medium tone on the five-color palette was used lightly on Swank's eyelids, just above the crease and blended out evenly just above brow. From the same pallet, Andrew applied the plum mauve shade in a very faint fine line under the lower lash line.
Mascara: Andrew curled Swank's lashes, applied one coat of Christian Dior in Dior Show Black, them combed through them with a clean mascara wand. He then added another coat on the outer corners and tips.
Cheeks: Christian Dior cream blush So Cheek was used on her cheeks, in a natural mauve color.
Lips: For the natural, beige lips that Andrews was seeking, Christian Dior Addict Ultra Gloss in #313 was applied to Swank's already dark, full lips.
