Get Amanda Gorman’s Met Gala Makeup Look:
Makeup Artist: Joanna Simkin
The Inspiration: The “Sleeping Beauties/Garden of Time” theme felt incredibly elegant and fresh. Amanda’s Prada dress reminded me of the Gilded age and a very romantic look took shape, mixed with the (slightly more) modern influences of both Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. An elongated cat eye shape, reminiscent of Audrey’s signature flared eyes, mixed with intense pink blush washed from cheekbones to temples created a look of romance and springtime.”
