Samantha Morton at the 76^th Annual Academy Awards
Makeup by Jo Strettell/Cloutier Agency
To create Samantha’s smoky eye and pale lip Oscar look:
Foundation – Stila Sheer Color Tinted Moisturizer in Light
Concealer – Amazing Concealer in Extra Light which Jo says is her absolute favorite concealer. She used it sparingly to cover up minor imperfections on Samantha’s flawless skin.
Cheeks – Stila Cheek Color in Rose was applied to the apples of Samantha’s cheeks. Jo chose a powder blush instead of cream because it needed to last the evening without any touchups. When applying blush, Jo recommends: “Apply color to the apples of cheeks in a circular motion and finish off by flicking wrist up toward the temples.”
Eyes – Stila's new loose powder in a pot that will be coming out for Spring. (It doesn't have a name yet, but she used the grey.) Jo pressed a flat spatula-type brush into the powder then dabbed it on her hand to press off any excess. She put a tissue under Samantha’s eye as she pressed the color into the lashes and the whole lid of the eye in a half-moon shape. With a smaller brush she painted underneath the eye and pressed the powder into the skin. Then she took a clean short brush and gently blended the color into the socket of the eye to soften the line and diffuse the color.
Eye liner- With a lip brush, Jo painted the Stila Smudge Pot in Grey into lashes and dragged the color half way up the lid. After smudging it into place, she dragged the color up a bit higher so you don’t see joins between the liner and shadow colors. She applied a Kohl liner in Black along top and bottom of inner rims.
Mascara – Jo curled lashes then applied tons of Amazing Concealer mascara in Black. Then she dipped a brush into her Black Stila Smudge Pot and poked color between the top and bottom lashes.
Lips – Stila Olivia lip color with Stila Cinnamon Lipglaze on top of it. No Liner.
