Beauty Essentials You Need for Normani’s Glam Met Gala Look
Normani’s look for this year’s Met Gala is breathtaking glam – from the custom Christian Siriano to her dark wine hair color. And here we are breaking down her makeup look by Priscilla Ono, the celebrity makeup artist with a group of A-List clients. After analyzing the photos and social media posts, these are 6 beauty essentials we’ve picked out for recreating this colorful, metallic, and flawless look.
Skincare is the first step of the makeup look. Ono used The Treatment Lotion Hydrating Mask by La Mer to prepare Normani’s skin. This sheet mask is infused with almost a full ounce of La Mer treatment lotion’s energizing vitality in each application. It gives the skin intense hydration that ensures smooth makeup application with less product.
Normani’s green eye shadow is what pops out first. This pigmented green eye look brightens up the eyes and grabs attention. The Urban Decay Naked Wild West Eyeshadow Palette has a selection of shadows perfect for this. Blend “Pony Up” and “Whiskey” in the crease, apply layers of “Tex” and “Bud” for the shiny green, and finish a touch of “Cowboy Rick” in the corner. This is a fun but still classy look for both parties and formal events.
House of Lashes – Iconic Lite is the exact pair of lashes that Ono used on Normani. The flirty, full lash is a modernizing twist on the Gilded Age themed makeup and pulls the bold eye look together. Lighter than the original Iconic lash, the Iconic Lite lashes are the perfect choice for a subtle but dramatic look.
Liquid eyeliner is not only used for the eyes in this look but also essential for the beauty mark on Normani’s skin. As Ono’s highlighting touch to the Gilded Age, the beauty mark is one of those details you don’t want to miss. And this Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner by Stila can help you accomplish that. Its waterproof and long-lasting formula glides on with ease, and stays on the skin. Your beauty mark won’t go anywhere until you are ready to take it off.
Ono also recommends using a cream blush for this stunning cheek look. And Bobbi Brown’s Pot Rouge for Lips & Cheeks Multitasking Cream Color Compact is a perfect product for a natural flush. You can blend it onto the apples of your cheeks for a just-pinched look.
To finish off the look, you can recreate Normani’s signature brown-nude lip. After applying your favorite nude lip liner and lipstick, you can top it with the Full-On Plumping Lip Polish Lip Gloss by Buxom. This is a gorgeous high-shine plumping gloss that also moisturizes lips with vitamins A and E. It will stay on your lips with a classic and polished look.
