Makeup Trend: Pale Pouts at the 2013 Grammy Awards

Adele

For Adele’s Grammy look, makeup artist Michael Ashton played up her signature cat eye with a glowing complexion, high-volume lashes and a soft pink lip.

To create a blush tone lip, Ashton chose Armani Lip Maestro 500 ($32) which has a high concentration of pigment to create a punch of color, and staying power to prevent reapplication throughout the evening. He also used MyFace lip liner ($16) in Nude and Sisley Phyto Lip Star Lip Gloss in White Diamond ($55) to complete the soft lip.

Allison Williams

“The makeup was inspired by the colors and details of her beautiful beaded dress and jewelry. I wanted to give Allison a dark rimmed eye with a touch of shimmery charcoal gray,” says celebrity makeup artist Mai Quynh for tarte.

To create a rosy, nude hue for Allison’s pout, Quynh applied tarte’s LipSurgence matte lip tint in hope ($24).

Carly Rae Jepson

Carly went for a rocker-chic look at the Grammys. Celebrity makeup artist Tina Turnbow offset Carly’s edgy metallic eye with a pouty, barely-there nude lip by applying Lancôme Le Crayon in Nude ($25).

Estelle

Celebrity makeup artist Joanna Simkin gave Estelle a luminescent complexion and smoky eyes for the Grammys. Rounding out the look: thick lashes, a dusting of shimmer across her cheekbones and a natural lip with Lancôme L’Absolu Nu Lipcolor in Beige Silk ($30).

Kaley Cuoco

Rock and roll chic meets runway was the look Kaley Cuoco was going for according to mark makeup artist Jamie Greenberg.

“I applied mark Lipclick in Bare Hug ($11) followed by a layer of mark Glimmer Shine Lip Gloss in Nude Glimmer ($12) to add extra shine,” explains Greenberg.

Katy Perry

Katy Perry went for an old Hollywood-inspired makeup look created for her by makeup artist Jake Bailey.

Bailey completed the look by lining Perry’s lips with Rimmel London Lasting Finish 1000 Kisses Lipliner ($3) in Natural and applying a coat of Rimmel London Lasting Finish Lipstick in Crush ($5).
