Recreate Hailee Steinfeld's Low-Key Party Look

Light and pretty were two words the star's makeup artist used to describe this chic yet simple style.

March 6, 2013

To create a foil for Hailee Steinfeld's intense black Valentino gown, makeup artist Stephen Sollitto wanted to design a beautiful yet understated look for the Vanity Fair Oscars party. "When Hailee put on her dress, she looked so strong and beautiful. She's innately happy and that comes across in pictures. Oscar night accomplished." says Sollitto.

"Hailee has the most beautiful eyes, so I decided to give her a strong look on this big night. I started with a reflective beige color from Nars called Miss Liberty all over the lid. At her lashes, I drew a dark line out to the corners with a colorful plum from Votre Vu in Aubergine."

"Lastly, I did a very pretty pink lip using Chanel Rouge Allure Lipstick in Exaltee. It’s a vibrant color and perfect for a daytime lunch as well as an important event. To keep it young, I covered that with a fun gloss called Chanel Lèvres Scintillantes Glossimer. It looks daring yet it’s quite sheer."
