Lily Gladstone’s dazzling presence at the Critics’ Choice Awards not only showcased her talent but also solidified her status as a burgeoning beauty icon. The Killers of the Flower Moon star, nominated for Best Actress, graced the red carpet in a stunning off-the-shoulder cobalt blue Christian Siriano gown, following her Golden Globes triumph.
While her radiant glow undoubtedly owed something to her recent accolades, her flawless makeup look, courtesy of makeup artist Nick Barose, stole the spotlight. The immediate attention might be drawn to her striking orange-red lip, achieved with Chanel’s 31 Le Rouge lipstick in Rouge Imaginaire and Le Crayon Lèvres lip liner in Blood Orange. Yet, the real gem of the look lies in her eyeliner.
Barose expertly matched Gladstone’s gorgeous gown with Cheekbone Beauty’s Fearless Eyeshadow Pencil in Cobalt Blue. Instead of a full lid application, Barose precisely traced along her top lashline, finishing with a subtle wing – an easily overlooked yet utterly captivating coordinated detail. Elevating the glam is the fact that Cheekbone is an Indigenous-founded beauty brand.
According to Barose, “Pairing strong colors together on eyes and lips instantly creates drama,” expressing his admiration for the playful ’80s vibes emanating from the blue and orange combination. With Gladstone on the rise, anticipate not only more of her but also bold bursts of color gracing red carpets throughout the year.
