Nicole Kidman. Famous for her roles in so many movies. Australia. Golden Compass. Moulin Rouge. to name a few.
But how does she achieve such a soft, glowing look? How does she manage to look so natural, yet bold at the same time??
How? Her makeup artist Carol Shaw (founder of Lorac Cosmetics) tells us how:
Nicole Kidman loves a fresh modern look. Her signature look is defined smokey eyes with pinky-peach rosy cheeks and lips. Carol Shaw loves to accentuate Nicole's big blue eyes with a defined smokey look so that they really 'pop'.
How does she do it??
1. Lorac Behind the Scenes Primer ($20)
Carol starts off by using a Lorac behind the scenes primer from the lash to the brow in the eye area.
2. Lorac Close Up Eye Shadow Kit (36)
Carol highlights with the lightest shade over the whole lid, then she applys a dark crease which blends out over the lid and into the brow. She uses a liquid lustre over the top to make Nicole's makeup last longer and to give a shimmery effect.
3. Lorac Front of the Line Pro eyeliner ($23) in Black
To apply this eyeliner, Carol starts close to nose and works her way out, getting thicker as the line glides to the outer corner of the eye. She smudges it underneath the eye as well.
4. Lorac Smooth Breakthrough Performance Foundation in SMS 1 ($38)
Next, she applys the foundation, but only a little to the red areas.
5. Lorac Perfectly Lit Oil-Free Luminising Powder in Luminising ($33)
Lastly, Shaw applys the Luminising Powder on Nicole's cheeks to give them a lovely radiant glow.
6. Lora Breakthrough Performance Lipstick in Premiere ($22)
Carol completes Nicole's look with a peachy lipstick and voila, Nicole's look is complete!
And that's that.
