Two Looks, One Night: Peachy & Bright Awards Show Glam with Celebrity Makeup Artist Molly R. Stern

Molly R. Stern is known in the beauty industry for her positive outlook and fresh approach to makeup, which comes as no surprise with this bright, peachy, and springtime-perfect awards show look Molly created. In this "Get The Look" piece, we learn all about how Molly created two seamless looks for Amy Poehler at this year's Golden Globes.

Setting the Scene: Skin Prep & Atmosphere

To start, I spent a lot of time with skincare. I have found that the more I give in the beginning with luxurious products, tool stimulation, and massage, the better the skin looks with less of a need to pack on foundation and powder. I love seeing the woman wearing the makeup, not the makeup wearing the woman.

I began by setting the vibe in the room using Skinesiology Auric Mist in scent “Female Warrior” and my Aretha Franklin playlist played on my UE roll speaker.

I infused a base layer of moisture using Natura Bissé Diamond Mist. This offers instant hydration and vitality. Then, I applied Diamond Instant Glow which exfoliates, brightens and lifts. It’s perfect for a big game day event! Finally, I spent a generous amount of time massaging in the Natura Bissé Vitamin C+C Cream using my favorite Pause Facia Stimulating Tool.

Now for the cosmetic layer!

For the first of two looks:

First, I primed Amy’s skin using Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Hydrating Primer. This smoothed the skin’s texture so I could sparingly use Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation in shade 3 for a flawless finish. Next, I highlighted under the eyes using Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Concealer in shade 3.75.

For Amy’s cheeks, I layered Jamie Makeup cream blushes — first “The Nude One” with a pop of “The Coral One” on the apples of her cheeks. Then I used Armani Beauty Neo Nude Fusion Powder in shade 9 to define the hollows of her cheeks and jawline.

For Amy’s eyes, I based the center of her lid using Armani Beauty Eye Tint in shade 9, and then Armani Beauty Eye Quattro palette in shade 8 “Festival”. I mixed the darker brown with the peachy tone to contour the eye and smoke out the outside edge. Then I popped the gold tone of the same palette on the center of the lid. Next, I took Armani Beauty Eyes To Kill Designer Eyeliner in shade 3 “Cobalt”, and very tightly lined her upper lash line. This made the blue of her eyes pop! Then, I smudged a line underneath using Armani Beauty Smooth Silk Eye Pencil in shade 2. I then finished the look with two coats of Armani Beauty Classico Mascara in shade 1.

For Amy’s lips, I based them using Armani Beauty Lip Maestro in shade 101, and then added a bright pop of Lip Maestro Freeze in shade 304.

For the second look:

I took her eye shadow down by blending a little bit of Armani Beauty Luminous Silk Foundation over the lid to soften the tones and shadows, and added a bright pop of classic color to her lips using Armani Beauty Lip Maestro in shade 400.
