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).
