Kate Bosworth in Superman Returns
Make-up by Nikki Gooley
Superman Returns make-up designer Nikki Gooley didn’t want Kate Bosworth to look like she had a “face full of make-up“ since the actress is just 23.
Bosworth’s clean-faced Lois Lane looks quite different from Margot Kidder’s character in the 1978 Superman; the heavier paint gave Kidder a cynical and strongly sexual look.
Gooley's make-up for this publicity shot is very similar to what Bosworth wore in the Daily Planet scenes. “I wanted her to be as natural as possible so the make-up didn’t override her purpose at work, but at the same time gave her a level of sophistication.”
Gooley added a glow. “The D.P. was so anti-shine, even on lip gloss. So sometimes I’d take it off then sneak it back on later!”
Skin care: Dr. Hauschka cleanser, Dermalogica toner, Crème de la Mer moisturizer. “Kate has great skin but it is prone to being sensitive.”
Foundation: Alternated between Prescriptives in Warm Champagne, Joe Blasco in Shinto 2, and Stephanie Marais in 01 and 03. “It was shot in high-def and the color temp seemed to vary on her skin.” Applied with a brush then blended with another brush and sponge.
Shading: MAC Studio Fix C4
Concealer: Shu Uemura spot concealer and YSL Touche Eclat
Powder: MAC Studio Fix and Blot Powder
Cheeks: Stila Rose cream blush
Eye shadow: MAC Omega
Eye liner: Bobbi Brown in the pot, Black, applied somewhat thickly
Brows: Visiora Brown and Grey powder in the quad
Mascara: Bobbi Brown only on top, two coats
Lips: Stila lipstick in Jo and Ava just blotted on, then Rose Lip Balm
Working with this face: “I just tried to stay natural to Kate’s face, highlighting her apple cheeks and luscious lips.”
