The shimmer dust of the Met Gala may have settled… But as we recover from aw’ing at the incredible fashion and outrageous beauty, we find ourselves taking note of the attainable looks from the night. So, while we would love to see the look on our barista’s face if we grabbed our morning coffee with a silver’d head a la Cara Delevingne, we’re much more interested in the beauty wins we can copy. To counter the extraordinary couture, here’s how to mimic the easy to emulate elegant looks of the night of nights…
Lily-Rose Depp
Makeup artist Kate Lee used Chanel makeup for her fellow brand ambassador Lily-Rose Depp in her amazing fuchsia Chanel gown, and opted for a dramatic eye. She told Hollywood Reporter, “Whenever the theme for the Met Ball is released, every makeup artist gets super excited because it is an opportunity to be a little more creative. But like any red carpet event, you have to do what’s right for the dress so someone feels beautiful.” She lined Lily-Rose’s waterlines with Stylo Yeux Long Lasting Waterproof Eyeliner in Noir Intense and built on the double cat eye look with Chanel Calligraphie de Chanel Longwear Intense Cream Eyeliner in Hyper Black and Pinceau Lèvres Biseauté Angled Lip Brush. “I didn’t want to detract from the hard, sharp line at the bottom,” Lee said. “I just wanted to keep it as a graphic black line.”
Makeup artist Hugo Vanngo used all Marc Jacobs beauty products to obtain Gomez’s stunning look. Vanngo stated “I was originally going to do something very soft on Selena Gomez for the Met Gala – the twist was the bright pink eyeliner… I thought it would be a fun punch of colour.” Maybe the magenta cat eye is a little too much for a night on the town but obtaining Gomez’s luscious lip colour is easy.
Vanngo put New Nudes In The Mood and (P)outliner Nudiest on her lips for a simple tonal put palette. First, Vanngo softly outlined the lips with the liner then he applied the sheer gel lipstick. This tactic gives the lips a plump and natural looking glow without be OTT.

Stepping away from a gaudy aesthetic, Kim went pared back and plus 1 free. Whenever you admire Kim’s beauty looks always look to Mario Dedivanovic who is a genius in the art of minimalism, with impact. Kim’s glow at the Met Gala was accomplished by Dedivanovic primarily utilising Chanel makeup.
Her soft waves were effortless and stunning. Hair stylist George Northwood framed Chung’s face with the easy curls. As an ambassador for Redken, Northwood swears by their products. To give Chung’s curls some texture, Northwood used Redken Quick Tease. The product helps to not only style the hair but also works as a hairspray. Apply the product at the roots and work it into the hair to give volume and texture to your curls.
The always glowing Miranda Kerr gave her followers an inside pre-makeup tip via her Instagram. Her luminous skin is all thanks to her #1 beauty product, Noni Glow Face Oil from her skincare range, Kora Organics.
Apply this product by pressing it into freshly cleansed skin, using your fingertips, allowing it to soak into the skin for about 10 minutes before putting on your makeup. The oil provides ultimate moisture which helps makeup to look even more radiant and, depending on your skin type, you can skip the moisturising cream step. The look? Glowing natural skin.

Love Kim’s look, no one can seem to achieve that dewy, glowy look quite like those Kardashians!
